The Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and then 20th century are the periods for classical guitar composers. And what do you know, all of my favorite are in the Classical period?? That would be from 1751 to 1825. Here's a list of my favorite composers, well the ones I enjoy playing the most. Its biased because my guitar teacher is the one who used to chose my pieces, and so now I tend to turn towards these guys:
-Ludwig van Beethoven (Dont play much, but well its talent, so you have to have some respect)
-Ferdinando Carulli (Carulli composed some great pieces, like his Ten Preludes. Its repetitive, but so fun)
-Fernando Sor
-Mateo Carcassi
So if any one has any other composers that have amazing music and that's fun to play, let me know. Because i am finally re-united with my baby, my guitar, (not my classical) and need some new music to learn.
Typing of my guitar, no matter how hard you try to play moonlight sonata on an electric, it will never be the same on a classical ( or better yet, a piano).

Bbbback in q-town
HERROW!
So i guess i'll write a little bit about my trip back to red deer. I watched some sweet movies while i was back home, me and my sister went and saw Whip It, which was HILARIOUS. I love Ellen Page. And my sister loves Drew Barrymore so it was a perfect match. I also watched Stargate with Jeremiah...it was...yeah...no it was cool.
I hung out with my family a fair bit, did some activities with my nieces like carving pumpkins and making gingerbread halloween houses.
I saw some sweet karaoke with Riley and his friends! Best guns and roses impression i've ever heard.
Calgary with beth and pam was sick! We went to a bar and there ended up being a Hip Hop show. i never thought i'd ever see myself at a hip hop show, but it was quite entertaining. We did an awesome job at pretending we knew the lyrics and were pretty much the bands biggest fans.
I did quite a bit while i was back.
SO right now i have to study for a three hour french test that will figure out whether i need to be in a french class or not..the answer is obvious, i'll be put in a french class. which is good, i need to improve my franksten-phone-ness. (as nick would say)
THis is a boring blog im sry. Ill think of something cool to talk about later.
I watch Fluffeetalks, his videos are hilarious, and this one always makes me laugh.
