At NBC+15 promoting our performance of the Concerto Andaluz, with the Madison Symphony Orchestra. Today, Saturday, and Sunday.

The Los Angeles Guitar Quartet recorded a few pieces at GSI last night. Before we started, trying all these incredible instruments, like a kid in a candy store, when this happened.

The guitar I am playing was made in 1886, by Antonio Torres, who would define our instrument as it is today. The body is smaller, but the sound is not. It’s an instrument that has so much to tell, deepness, substance, and fantasy, in each note.

What a privilege to have that experience. Thank you everyone from GSI, specially David Collette.

Jamming with my brother in Granada, Spain. Wonderful times. A great week to everyone ❤️
