    Book Launch: Easy to Play Guitar Trios

    Mino and Franco discuss music teaching, the difference between guitar students and violin students, music reading and Franco's new book, "Easy to Play Guitar Trios," published by Mel Bay. Mino learns to play the 3rd guitar part to one of the pieces, "Julia Delaney," while Franco plays the melody. Later, they visit a couple of Mino's original songs which they had not played in a long time. Buy the book here on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Easy-Guitar-Trios-Franco-Bertucci/dp/1513471368 The book comes with a link to download audio recordings of all fourteen pieces.

    Domestic Bliss (or Blitz) with Guitar and Fiddle

    Is it a sign of humility or egotism to release unpolished recordings? Mino and Franco discuss this as well as the fact that cramped spaces makes for better music, play two songs of Franco's inspired by domestic bliss, explore a little Billy Joel and do some nice instrumental improvising. Music starts at about 6min. Thanks for listening. mondaynightswithmino@protonmail.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDTWmAGXVuf6B1JebloVaVg
