Happy New Year! I hope you have enjoyed the holiday season and that you have had a good start to the new year. My holidays were full of family gatherings, presents, and LOTS of food. And as much as I enjoyed all of it, I'm quite happy that it's over now, and we're fresh into the new year. The start of a new year is the time for new plans, goals, and, of course, New Year's resolutions. And the things that always come up are:
I have quite some "experience" with all of these, but for the third one, I actually KNOW what to do about it. Practicing... Yes, that's always the big question. Everybody is struggling with practicing:
But it‘s a learnable skill. I‘ve learned it, my students have learned it, and you will too. Over the years of teaching hundreds of students, I've developed a general structure that can be easily adapted to individual needs. That's why I have created the Free 30-Day Guitar Practice Challenge. The goal of the 30-Day Guitar Practice Challenge is quite simple: Practice 5 minutes every day for the next 30 days! In the 30 days of the challenge, you will learn how to practice, why you practice, how to plan your practice, and how to practice exactly what YOU need to improve. You will see real progress in your guitar playing. And you will make practicing a daily habit that fits into your life. I will send you daily emails to help you, to guide you, and to motivate and remind you. And the best about it: it's completely FREE!

I hope you're having a good time. As we're rushing towards Christmas, here in Vienna the days are not only dull and gray and wet, these are also the darkest days of the year. But only for one more week. After the shortest day next Sunday, after the Winter solstice, the days will be getting longer again. To make things a bit festive for the holidays, as my little Christmas gift for you, here is a simple but beautiful fingerstyle arrangement of Silent Night. You can download the transcription...
Seems I only blinked twice, and suddenly December's here. And I have to confess, I'm a bit like this guy when it comes to Christmas and the holidays. On the bright side, I'll probably only have to blink again once or twice, and I'll be back in Spring :D In the meantime, let's play guitar! This week I have another great piece from my latest book, The Anthology of Baroque Violin for Guitar. This is the 1st movement Allegro of Violin Concerto in E minor, Op.1 (No.7), Bre6, by Guiseppe Antonio...
