Hi, there, Happy New Year to you!

Hope you had a good time over the festive period!

Check out my site again,

My debut album is now up on Amazon, you might want to get your hands on a copy!

You could be a classical guitar teacher or professor.
I believe the work is mainly instructional, like a career in teaching other classical guitar either through a permanent position or workshop style teaching.
However, I have no doubts that there are certain performance occupations in bands depending on the genre of classical guitar you wish to pursuit.

I've considered it as a minor, not a major though, precisely because I do not believe there will be enough non-instructional opportunities for work, and I don't want to be a teacher.

To whom are you responding to in this thread, exactly? The last post in this thread was almost 4-years ago.


As in, huh?

I like that this thread was revived mostly because I got to see such a bubblier, extremely enthusiastic version of Roivas on the first page that doesn't seem to show up as much any more.

Roivas, how often do you practice?

You make it seem like he was a MTV Total Request audience member back then.

I am not sure which the Grasshoppa would have more of a problem with....that you you thought he was bubblier at anytime....or he no longer is bubblier.

Well I certainly didn't mean to offend him and apologize if I did, but this post was, after all, the first interaction I remember having with him (not that it wasn't necessarily unwarranted)...

All I'm saying is that his posts in most of the time I've known him have had a generally kind of cynical tone that's pretty much absent from those posts.

He's getting up there in years, after all....he's been in The Factory a year longer than most of you....and was unofficial official Satchmo translator back when the joint was jumping and Satchmo's fans were all over the place. Look at the toll it's taken on Grasshoppa Seba.


It was hard out there being a Grasshoppa!


Start up a topic on guitars and/or composition (maybe even a John Zorn discussion ) and watch him go.

I used to play classical guitar when I was a late-teen. Not so much anymore.

I don't really practice these days. I never wanted to be a shredder.

Life has been a little weird for me since I moved back to L. A. two years ago.

Sorry I've been such a bummer lately.

I like bubbles (not the chimp).

So, Roivas, what's your take on John Zorn? I personally think the film The Big Gundown is better than Zorn's album.
