Fabulous Fingerings
Fabulous Fingerings is Douglas Niedt's collection of alternative classical guitar fingerings chosen for one reason: they are what sound best, even when they are harder to play. The current list covers pieces by Albéniz, Bach, Sanz, Tárrega, and Villa-Lobos — including Leyenda (Asturias) and Recuerdos de la Alhambra — each illustrated with annotated musical examples and explanatory videos, with new pieces added from time to time.
- My fabulous fingerings are not necessarily the easiest fingerings to play.
- They may be easier or they may be much more difficult than other standard fingerings.
- But, they are what SOUND BEST.
