No, again, I am not performing these yet but there is a world of great music just in these pieces I refer to. I have a long list of pieces for the future.

I also own a Martin (0018), Santa Cruz 12-string (cutaway) and a Charles Hoffman Concert (cutaway).

Studying and learning to really play and develop a repertoire that becomes part of me is my new passion.

I am enjoying the Walker guitar which is an exquisite sounding instrument and the Rogers tuners immensely.

 

Mr. Mike Lynch commissioned his new guitar from the luthier Mr. Johnny Walker of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, U.S.A. Rodgers tuners are supported as standard on all the 'Grand Concert Model' guitars built by Johnny Walker classical guitars. The guitar ordered by Mr. Lynch however, is the 'Standard Concert Model' but by request, has the Rodgers tuners fitted.

The Guitar Top is of Engelman spruce and the back and sides Rosewood. The tuners are our standard plain edge side-plates in Nickel Silver material, with the engraved design L195. They also have Traditional pattern Alternative Ivory buttons fitted.

Mr. Lynch authors the following paragraphs.

I am aged 50. By profession I am what you may know as a town manager...my village is a population of about 10,000 in an affluent suburban environment. I enjoy greatly my work.

Outside of an active family, much of my time is spent at either the gym or studying guitar. I don't per se play just yet. My goal is to perform publicly when I turn 60 (Lord willing).

I played finger style guitar (Fahey, Kotkee, bluesmen...) in my 20's and stopped. I now have returned with a passion and active study now since January 2000.

My study sheet these days includes F. Sor (20 Studies), Carcassi (25 M & P
Studies), Brouwer (20 Simple Studies) and lots of Andrew York. Recently I have been enjoying F. Sor 6 Bagatelles and also his 6 Petit Pieces. Also, I have discovered Giovanni DeChairo's Complete Transcriptions of Scott Joplins Ragtime works (60 plus pieces)...very challenging but very entertaining.
