Robert Luse, the best classical guitar teacher in Singapore posts on youtube the first video “in a new category of original solo works for classic guitar” composed and performed by him. This performance is meant to “demonstrate that contemporary music offers distinct and compelling images, equal to anything in the classics”.
Because of modern technology, it is now possible to leave a record for posterity and see how the composer plays his composition. Or how Luse plays Luse.
It is always a treat to see a former teacher play. And ironically, I’ve never seen Rob play so much guitar when I was a student. But I’m not complaining, just looking forward to him posting more of his performances on youtube. I hope you enjoy this video performance too.
Luse plays Luse: Isadora (just is)
His right hand position is a serious problem.
You can see the tension in his right hand and sharp bent in his wrist.
Right hand pinkie is very old fashion.
Prolonged practice in this method will cause irreparable damage.
Lots of of folks talk about this subject but you wrote down some true words!!
I have a lot of respect for Robert Luse. His right hand seems reminiscent of the ‘old’ Segovia way of playing.
But its hard to tell if his right hand is in a ‘poor’ position by merely looking at the video. Sometimes the camera can lie. Nothing beats a ‘live’ examination.
