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.

Every classical guitarist has a different tone; many prefer a round and dark tone, while I choose a very direct and bright tone to ensure everyone in the hall can hear the music clearly.

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

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

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

I have three main guitars that I use: a spruce guitar by Philip Woodfield, a traditional Friedrich, and a unique double top guitar by Hakeem Gropius.

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.

I choose the guitar with good strings, even if it's not a good guitar, because the feeling of what you have under your fingers makes all the difference.

The church where I recorded has a unique acoustic quality due to its mix of brick and wood, which enhances the guitar's sound.
