Classical guitarist Jason Vieaux was recently a featured performer on NPR as part of their Tiny Desk concert series. The concert included three performances, the first a prelude by Bach, then a real interesting piece by composer Maximo Diego Pujol titled “Candombe en mi,” followed by “Capricho Arabe” by Francisco Tarrega. There’s also a sidebar on NPR’s site about how Vieaux embeds a piece of a ping pong under his thumbnail to aid in playing.

Watch Vieaux’s Tiny Desk concert below:

Classical guitarist Austin Moorhead has posted to YouTube a really nice version of him playing Sergio Assad’s Fantasia Carioca, which I’ve embedded below. I’m a fan of Assad’s guitar playing but wasn’t all that familiar with his compositions. I really like Fantasia Carioca, and Moorhead plays it very well.
