Jessica Kaiser

in Classical Guitar

I was saddened to learn of the trouble Jessica Kaiser has been having with her knees when I saw this video:

She was 500euros short of her target earlier today and I'm happy to see that has now been reached. This however is only to meet the cost of her operation, I'm sure it would be a great help if she received further contributions to help pay for any rehab/physiotherapy costs and whatever else she needs to help her to a full recovery and back performing on stage.

Here is a video of her playing Capricho Catalan, which I'd love to be able to learn one day.

A really beautiful, relaxing piece played to perfection. Enjoy!

I appreciate your tenacity Nathan. I am glad you were able to take some in-person lessons. I am trying to make the most of this isolation as well. We have been busy editing some new projects. Check out the new uploads when you get a chance. What are you working on now?

Hi Tavi, good to hear from you. I saw the new uploads and again impressed with all the new tutorials you've released. I love Andaluza and think this will have to be the next tutorial for me, it's just jumped ahead of the Scarlatti Sonata I was considering taking on! I haven't practiced enough lately so have a lot of work going over what I've learned here that I've forgotten. Just a refresher shouldn't take too long.

I never got round to finishing Serenata Espanola either so have that to get back to.

I've just put new strings on my guitar the other day so hopefully tomorrow I will be able to record a video of Eterna Saudade to send Jessica and I'll post it on here.

I have tabs for Autumn Leaves which I started learning but didn't get passed the intro. and also tabs for Se Ela Perguntar which is a beautiful piece, and Capricho Catalan which I think will be the next lesson with Jessica one day this week.

Please send my best regards to the team I hope you're all keeping safe.
