Jason Vieaux plays Capricho árabe by Tárrega

2016

American guitarist Jason Vieaux plays Capricho árabe by Spanish composer Francisco Tárrega (1852-1909). This comes via Colorado Public Radio and their YouTube. Vieaux won the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Classical Instrumental Solo which is pretty rare and special for a guitarist. Nice performance here with lots of well paced musicality and serious amounts of reverb. You can watch hundreds of video of this work and see different fingerings for each one…

If you’re interested in getting the free sheet music or TAB for this I have it here on the site: Tarrega: Capricho Árabe
