Laura Snowden<\/a><\/strong> is a young master of the guitar, with quite a pedigree. She was the first guitarist to graduate from the Yehudi Menuhin School (her attendance was made possible by a donation from the Rolling Stones), her folk ensemble, Tir Eolas, performed at Shakespeare’s Globe Theater, and her premiere of Julian Bream-commissioned \u201cCatalan Peasant with Guitar\u201d was hailed by The Guardian<\/a><\/strong><\/em> and Classical Guitar Magazine<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since live performances still fall into the categories of cherished memories and hopeful futures, Snowden agreed to participate in our Acoustic Guitar Sessions in Place<\/a> series. Filmed at her home in England, Snowden performs her arrangement of \u201cThe Parting Glass,\u201d a traditional Scottish song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She plays a spruce Christopher Dean guitar. \u201cIt’s so responsive, and I can play with all different colors on the instrument,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned after the performance for a little lesson on using vibrato with harmonics. Snowden acknowledges that her pairing of these techniques might be a bit unusual, but finds \u201cit can actually be a really nice way of getting [the notes] to sing a bit more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to learn the piece, Laura has a PDF of the score (standard notation and TAB) available for purchase here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
