Hello from Apulia Vacation, YAY! By the time you’re reading this, I’ll already be somewhere between the olive groves and the sea, enjoying Southern Italy and plenty of espresso. In Vienna, fall is arriving. The sun is weaker and the nights are chilly. It feels good to extend summer this way. How about you, have you've been on vacation this summer? Don't let the autumn blues get you! I’ve put together a guitar transcription of the 3rd movement (Allegro) from Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto for Strings in D major, RV 121 for you. It’s a lively piece, not too long, and when played fast, it's quite the banger. You can download the transcription in standard notation and tablature, along with the audio files, here: Happy practicing! Stefan Stevie's Guitar Studio |
I am a musician and author, I specialize in writing instructional books for guitar players. My latest book is called "TCHA-KA TCHA: Learn and Understand Rhythm on Guitar through Vocalizing." It’s a proven method that has helped hundreds of my students finally make rhythm easy. I'm sending emails every two weeks or so with new transcriptions, articles, news, resources, and promotions. I hope you'll enjoy them!
How are you doing? Spring has finally arrived here in Vienna, and I can hardly put into words how much I've been waiting for it. Winter wasn't particularly cold, but it was dark, gray, and depressing. And too long. But now the sun is finally back. And the birds are singing. Seems, they were fed up with winter too. Last weekend we had a crazy weather event with 20 cm of snow out of the blue. By Monday it was all gone, and now spring has truly arrived! And I'm happy! I'm simply a sun child. :D...
How are you? The year is slowly getting into gear after the quiet and leisurely holidays. And the days are finally getting longer again. I managed to dodge it for a while, but now I’ve come down with a cold. It’s Sunday, and I’m stretched out on the couch. Since I’m self-employed, there aren’t really any true days off, but I’m trying to take it slow. I’ll finish this newsletter, then I'll head to bed. So don't forget to stay warm, keep away from germs, and take your vitamins! :D And practice...
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: Lose weight Exercise more Practice guitar! I have quite some...
