Once I've chosen a song, I decide how I'm going to deliver it to the audience. That involves a number of considerations: the key, for example.
This video is the first of a series for the solo singing guitarist, both professional and hobbyist, who'd like to know how another soloist goes about his work in rehearsal.
In addition to key choice, I'll cover: how I understand and deliver a melody, the considerations regarding the meaning of the song and writer/composer intent, knowing one's own abilities, the different way to play to a live audience as opposed to a studio recording and the equal importance of technical mastery and in-the-moment joyfulness.
I hope you enjoy it!
