I am once again proud to let you know about another great young kid who makes us proud to play this great instrument. His name is MATT PALMER and you should
check out You Tube for his great videos! I've got my hand in several pies right now, trying to give you only the best. It is 2:53 am Friday morning and IO am taping a documentary on THE SEX PISTOLS on Ovation so I can learn about this ground breaking group and I am on the you tube channel once again looking for life on 6 strings! I have more excellent news on GOHAR VARDANYAN to Share with you:
If you go to the MEL BAY Guitar SESSIONS, this young virtuoso has several topics online : June 2011 - Even Tremolo,July 2010- The Importance of Sound, Aug 2010- Performance Preparation, Oct 2010-Practicing Scales and Jan 2010-Arpeggios.
When checking out the above mentioned MATT PALMER, I traced an interview with him (on his website) to a site that is new to me : GUITAR INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE and they had an interview with GOHAR~! I didn't read it yet but know that some juicy tidbits will be waiting for me from this brilliant artist. I have to complete part 2 of my review by that young 20 year whipper snapper CELIL REFIK KAYA who sent me to heaven one week ago - October 27th at The Mannes School of Music!Let me try to finish that for you today if I can wisely divide my time between the projects I have going on- Plus I have a concert in a week that I'm sharpening up my tools for in the Bronx next Saturday - DON WITTER,JR - CLASSICAL GUITAR

It feels great to be back in the Guitar world after my operation in March and I had a nice visit to LUTHIER MUSIC CORP (341 west 44Th Street) and my friend TONY ACOSTA! That used to be my great hang out over the decades it has existed. For my visit, I had the place all to myself! If anyone is visiting New York and needs great Guitars,Music,Cd's etc in the Classical,Flamenco and a few other styles- THIS IS THE PLACE! It is a beautiful shop lovingly cared for by Tony and his staff!
I am still working on an all inclusive interview with the fabulous German Virtuoso PIA GAZAREK-OFFERMANN.I have a couple of fine interviews with her but must check my files for some work I did on her when we 1st met over 6 or 7 years ago.When I find it,I will be so happy to complete my work on this very important artist so enough said or now. Hope you check out the above greats and I will keep searching for you all. I'm kind of spread thinly as I still out and about at least 5 days a week performing while trying to keep up on what is happening in the Guitar World. Always taking lessons from several sources and hope you are doing the same! See ya!
Don
