...Forgets the Name - Cavatina (Theme from The Deer Hunter)

Did you know this famous guitar piece has a special nickname? Dive into the gentle, flowing melody of Antonio Lauro's Vals Venezolano No. 2.

...John W. Duarte.

A miniature roadmap through one of the most elegant classical interpretation of All The Things You Are. A beautiful testament to Duarte's profound understanding of the classical guitar's polyphonic capabilities.

...the major section of Capricho Arabe is a gentle reminder that light always follows darkness.

Capricho Arabe turns from dark to light.. 😌

When the melancholic shadows of the night give way to the warmth of the morning sun. The shift to the major key in Capricho Arabe always feels like a deep, beautiful sigh of relief. 🎸✨

Traveling through time with Francisco Tárrega. 🌌 Words aren’t needed when the guitar speaks like this.

The introduction to Capricho Arabe breathes like a soft, midnight breeze. It is a slow, luminous unspooling—a gentle invitation to lose yourself in the exotic, melancholic grace of a world fading into the stars. 🌙✨

The timeless melody of "Scarborough Fair" has always felt like a journey back in time. 🌿

My new classical guitar arrangement of "Scarborough Fair" is premiering on 09 June, 2026. It’s a short, peaceful journey on the strings—perfect for a quick moment of calm.

The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul." — J.S. Bach.

Playing Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring always brings that sense of refreshment. It is a piece that transcends time, reminding us all of the power of simplicity and gratitude. Enjoy this moment of music. 🎸✨

In the famous ''G String'' Arrangement, the violin gets a deep resonance. On the classical guitar, we get to hear the counterpoint in a way a solo violin can't provide. We aren't just playing the melody; we are the orchestra, the continuo, and the soloist all at once.

Imagine being on a giant wooden ship 200 years ago, sailing from Acapulco to Manila.
The sailors would bring their guitars and sing songs just like this one.

Playing ''Scherzino Mexicano'' feels like a bridge between two worlds. It's got the Spanish soul, Mexican fire, and a rhythm that feels exactly like a Filipino homecoming.

I hope this brings a little sunshine to your feed today!
