This is a popular piece (Romance de Amor) that most would have heard of.
It's a piece that is easy to pick up, but it's also a piece that the "tone" of the guitar sound makes or kills the song.

We have talked a lot about the technique, the foundation, from the sitting posture to the angle of the right hand wrist and finger plucking.
All these are meant to reach one objective - to produce the best tone possible.
The "Tone" of your guitar sound is just like a person's voice. It is unique, and it's the one and only. We all need to time to slowly discover our unique nice tone. Knowing the fundamental basics of sitting position and plucking technique is only part of the solution. LISTENING to the nice tone of good players is equally, if not more, important.

Listening gives you an idea of what a nice tone is. After listening to many good sound, you will develop an "idea" of what a nice tone is like. This "idea" becomes your reference to compare your own sound to the "idea". The "idea" becomes your target. With a target or a reference, then your practice becomes more purposeful and meaningul.

I hope that this link serves as a first reference for everyone in GENRE and I will look for more "examples" of good sound to send to GENRE.

Let's all take this little small step towards discovering our unique good "tone" and enjoy good music together.
