Jason Vieaux – Sevilla
By thatch • Nov 5th, 2008 • Category: Acoustic, Chill, Music
Guitar fetish time (and when isn’t it? I hear some of you ask). Today is about a single acoustic guitar, with six (count ‘em folks not five, not seven but six) nylon strings and being wrangled by Jason Vieaux.
Jason is a phenomenal classical guitarist. I only discovered him a while back when I was looking for a piece that John Williams played and found Jason’s version of Sevilla, it’s from his 2003 album “Sevilla: the music of Isaac Albéniz”, you can currently hear it over at http://www.myspace.com/jasonvieaux, there are a couple of other tracks as well.
This dude can play. There is a quality to his style that seems a bit prim and proper, in places it could be a demonstration of the “correct way to play”, you know the sort of thing , no finger squeak from the fingers moving up and down the strings and no fret noise. But there is a controlled passion about his music. But after a couple of listens and it starts to make sense almost by osmosis and you will find yourself wanting more.
Highly Recommended (although it can get a bit weird when the shuffle function drops some Swedish Death Metal as the next track).

thatch is fascinated by guitars, music, guitars, production, silly noises, guitars and used to be a musician. Did I mention the thing about the guitars?
