Don’t take that tone with me

I recently had the pleasure of recording a CD for classical guitarist David Brandon. David is one of the finest guitarists in the country. He was a student of Adrés Segovia and Christopher Parkening, toured an recorded with Parkening for many years, has recorded with Julie Andrews, and runs one of the most successful teaching studios in the country. He is also long-term friend.

I was the first assistant that David ever hired at his teaching studio and I taught for him for 11 years. He was a mentor to me and gave me the chance to start a musical career. So you can imagine how honored I was when David asked me to record his first solo album.

The CD features 17 original pieces that have never been recorded. As a matter of fact, it’s his life’s work (and for those of you that have heard him, yes, Country Jamboree is on there!). I had heard these pieces as a kid when I studied under him and, later, when I taught for him. What a thrill to get to work on the project!

In the coming weeks, I will detail how we created David’s unique sound on the CD. By the way, if you don’t have it, you can purchase it here. Cheers.
