    Seek out lady in the unicorn. It’s a wonderful album by John Renbourn. He was one of the very first guitarist to play medieval and classical music on electric guitar. the beret and bee minor by Bock is especially lovely. Excuse the shit out of my spelling. By the way, Professor Bill Levitt of Berklee College of Music wrote three instruction books that were completely devoted to plain classical music with a pic. Very interesting approach. And Berkleee was the first Music school. One could go to and not be forced to study classical music. By the way, since a lot of blue-collar and working class, kids loved Guitar, they didn’t really have, the kind of lifestyle that would allow them to do nothing but play guitar music 10 hours a day. You know they played rock, Bluegrass, heavy metal, and old rock ‘n’ roll. And because you could go to Berkleee, major in music and have the guitar as your principal instrument it allowed thousands of middle-class and blue-collar kidsget a college degree. This is what I call the hidden gift Berkleee. It allowed a whole different kind of demographic to have a college degree.

The hybrid technique seems weird to me as I am a finger player, I have never played with a pick. I especially appreciate you used the original key. I do the same whenever it’s possible. I’ve come across another solo guitar transcription which was in a minor. But I didn’t like it too much. I love your tempo and phrasing, which is so relaxed! Thanks for your kind words, sir.
