Hello, my name is Filippo, I'm from São Paulo, Brazil. I'm 53 years old, and have been playing the acoustic guitar since I was 4 or 5. I had a rock band in my 20's (I played the electric guitar) but then stopped playing for some time. It had been many years I had not picked up my acoustic guitar, but fortunately it came back to me recently with a strong will. I have been playing steadily, every day, for about 3 months. I'm enjoying it very much and I think now it will be for the long run... In this time I started with Leyenda (Asturias), and have been practicing it since. My next piece was Capricho Arabe, through which I encountered Elite Guitarist, with Tavi playing the piece. I've seen and heard many performances, but Tavi's is definitely my favourite one, I really like the interpretation and the expression he puts on each note. I also keep practicing it. My current piece is La Catedral. I already got the first two parts and am now in the middle of the third (right where the virtuoso solo part starts). It's all very demanding and I don't want to get into that part until I am comfortable enough with what I have until now. The 3 mentioned pieces are still very raw, it will be months until I get them beautifully, hopefully! Anyway I'm enjoying it all very much, and Elite Guitarist has been a great source of inspiration and education. Thank you very much! Next I want to work on Milonga, by Diego Pujol, I got to know it through a message Tavi wrote in this Forum. I've looked everywhere for tabs but am not able to find them... would anyone know? Also I like Farewell, which is on Elite Guitarist, I will be tackling it soon. Sometime this year I would like to go to New York to buy a good acoustic guitar. I would appreciate some advice/recommendations on which guitar to buy, in the US$ 1.500 range. Maybe only trying them personally will decide, I think it's very individual. Well, it's good to be here. Cheers!
