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.

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.

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.

The guitar is becoming more accepted in contemporary music, and guitarists are now winning competitions alongside other instruments, which is an exciting development.

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

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.

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