| I'd only due the Chaconne with the electric. The others with the
classical. Might be able to simulate the violin with some distortion.

| All of them could be interesting on electric, especially the Tarrega piece.
I'd like to hear how the trremelo sounds. And you could give the Chaconne
some dynamic drama on an electric.

Since you asked for an opinion....
I tend to be a purist, and would vote for the classical for all.
I would think that more contemporary stuff might work for electric;
such as Browuer (sp?) or Britten or Tom Eastwood etc. The more
jagged lines and harsher harmonies might be enhanced by all the
capabilities you've got with an electric. You could probably
add interesting things (tonal qualities, dynamics)
a bit more unobstrusively.
The more traditional things are just too recognizably associated
with the classical guitar in my mind to work on electric; I just
think that you'd be taking away from the music using it.
Good luck with your recording, whichever you use,

| There are lots of classical players with good chops and decent
instruments. Alas, the vast majority of them will never make a
living at music. You need a gimmick, so I would play most on the
electric with as many effects as added to the particular piece
musically. BUT, I would save the most technically demanding piece
for the classical just to strut my stuff to the purists in the
audience. The most important thing would be to have a clear musical
intention for the interpretation of each piece and only add effects
that work within that interpretation. Good Luck. jt

I have to agree with Bob, think the music would suffer. Seems like
it would be very difficult to get that beautiful melody line in the
Recuerdos de Alhambra on anything but a classical guitar. And a
Rameriz to boot!
Anyway, just my opinion. Best of luck, impressive pieces.
