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.

Listening to music, especially when playing, creates a powerful connection that resonates throughout my body, making it feel like the guitar is my own voice.

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.

The classical guitar has immense potential that is often overlooked by those outside the guitar community, who tend to focus on the past rather than its capabilities.
