Some well-known guitarists, like Segovia and Julian Bream, are recognized for their tones, which are actually quite bright rather than dark, contrary to popular belief. I choose to play with a bright and direct tone because it helps the musical line appear to ascend, making it clearer and more impactful.

My tone has to be brighter because it needs to deliver a musical point across to the back of a hall, especially in larger spaces where warmer tones don't travel well.

The classical guitar allows us to shape the sound while it fades, adding various tone colors.

I find that traditional guitars offer a clearer and more colorful sound compared to double tops, which can sometimes sacrifice tone for volume.

In an intimate setting, I wouldn't use a bright tone if the music is meant to be pretty; instead, I would choose a tone that fits the context of the performance.

The choice of tone is not the same every time; it varies based on the circumstances of the performance and the clarity needed for the musical narrative.

The quiet sound of a traditional guitar creates an intimate atmosphere that draws the audience in, making them more attentive during performances.

When listening to classical guitar on the radio, I often wonder who's performing, especially since modern players have impeccable tonal control, sounding smooth and rich with barely any audible nail attack.

I find that different guitars require subtle adjustments in technique to produce the optimal sound.
