Sevilla No:3 from de "Suite Espanola" Opus 47, is one
of those works you can listen to time and time again
and in my mind the best composition from Isaac Albeniz.
When I first started to learn to play the guitar under
professor George Zarb at a basic evening class, I

When I first started to learn to play the guitar under

promised myself, that if I could ever play this, I had
reached a good standard and could then attempted most
guitar scores. Well it has been over 30 years in the
effort and I hope you get the same kick as me. When I
was first looking at the score from a number of great
arrangers, I felt that some had better passages than
others, so I came up with the idea of a composite
arrangement. The best bar from each score was
considered and added plus some of my own thoughts and
touches. Even with Bream or Williams, they both added a
touch of there own. Also the speed of this piece when
played, varies from artist to artist. On making this
film, sadly the lighting of my Green Screen was a
problem, so it looks like I have a slight green halo,
which was the best choice, or my trousers would have
showed through the back ground film of Seville.
Although my camera is fair quality, the sound could
always be better, however, as this is all just a hobby
for fun, I hope you enjoy it and also try my composite
score. Best wishes Gerry Kidd.
