What's tour favourite interpretation of Weiss's Tombeau sur la mort de M. Comte d'Logy?

I enjoy Bream's and Russell's recordings of this piece, but I'm very interested in getting more recommendations from you. Of course, I accept lute versions as well! Thank you!

Music for Three Guitars

What books/works can you recommend for three guitars? We play acoustic and worked several years with a teacher who arranged a wide variety of trio music from Dowland to Porter to Jobim. Circumstances have changed and we don't study with this teacher any longer, so until we make progress on creating our own arrangements, what are your recommendations? A cursory Google search doesn't turn up much, other than a free score site with some prospects. Thanks.

A finger problems

My a finger is sounding quite bad. I have been trying to grow up the left side out more for a more gradual ramp but it’s just not growing (maybe the natural shape of my finger is weird)? Any advice?

Tips for reading music?

I can read completely fine without having to think until there are key signatures or notes after the seventh fret. Right now I'm doing matteo carcassi's 9th study and I'm having trouble identifying notes. Any tips on how I can improve my reading ability?

Help for research

Hi everyone, today I have come with an odd request. I am going to perform a research on what makes a guitar string of good quality and good sound. For this, I need a reccomendation of strings to test out. Ranging from Terrible, to Glorious. Could everyone please provide their own experience with the strings you have used, and please provide strings that you believe may deserve a spot to be tested. Thank you all!

Recommendations for Repertoire

Hello, I’m trying to expand my repertoire with pieces that were written specifically for the guitar.

To elaborate, I love playing Tarrega because the music is so beautiful and plays extremely well on the guitar. Pieces originally composed for piano for example are pretty, but not as fun to play imo. It’s just a different vibe.

My all time favorite is Capricho Arabe by Francisco Tarrega, so if you have similar taste let me know your recommendations :)

New guitar recommendations

My secondary guitar self destructed the other day. It's the one I use for teaching and gigs that I don't want to bring my nice guitar for. Looking for recommendations for a replacement. Looking for a cutaway and it must sound decent plugged in or acoustic, and as always playability is king. Also, I'm thinking a seven string would be fun to have something different to play with. I'm leaning heavily towards the kremona fiesta 7 string with laminated back and sides (f65cw-7s-ve). Price range is flexible, but aiming for roughly $1500 range. Thanks!
