Philippe Bertaud on the Music of Villa Lobos
A performance and instructional DVD
Production Miramuse distributed internationaly by Carl Fisher
A complete performance of the Choros 1 and the Five Preludes is followed by very detailed lessons on each section of each piece.
I show you in a very detailed way the different fingerings and teach you how to solve the technical issues to reach a full interpretation
And, the top notch feature: a close up of both of my hands on the screen at a very slow pace. The style can be important also - if you choose that option - also but the spirit comes first.
The menu proposes series of exercises to overcome all the technical difficulties such as:
* fast scales
* arpeggios speed and evenness
* voice control
* playing around the beat
* stretching
and much more...

guitar.

I Write To You From Afar...
A long travel in Asia inspired me to
compose this album: temples on the shores of Mekong, serenity of rice
plantations...
Meditative, healing, spiritual, inspiring, comforting your heart and
opening the gateway to your soul... like this voyage in Asia did to
me.

Dear Philippe, As your fellow fretboard "brother" I deem it an honor to be your friend through our God given gift of music. May you continued to be blessed in your purpose and chosen art. All the best, Tim Oehlers
En effet, je pense souvent aux concerts ensemble, nous sommes en préparation avec Isotop, sur le nouvelle album, je déclenche loops et sons électroniques en direct live, cela demande de la concentration , j'aimerai voir les States, je te ferai signe crois moi, Biz
