nourishing obscurity

ACguitardotcom says, of David Russell:

In the realm of classical guitar, there is a small handful of luminaries whose concerts and recordings have earned them international stature. Scottish-born guitarist David Russell is one of these rare performing artists who has garnered favor with audiences, guitar aficionados, music critics, and concert presenters around the world.

Born into a family of artists and encouraged to pick up the guitar at an early age, Russell has always made the guitar the central focus of his life—from listening to and imitating the recordings of Andrés Segovia through conservatory studies at London’s Royal Academy to tutelage under the legendary José Tomás.

He recommends using a metronome. When asked about practice he has said:

Metronome is good for making sure you are doing it right, for controlling tempo, etc but then you have to be able to have good rhythm without metronome.
