Naudo Rodrigues: A Guitar Master

For this week's personal blog, I will be talking about music, again. I am more than just a listener, I am a lover of music. Unlike others, I appreciate every type of genre, except for the ones that sound like notes or computer made sounds thrown in together. This week, I will be talking about my FAVORITE musician of ALL TIME. He is unknown to many. I came across his videos back in 2007 when I started getting intrigued by guitar plucking and fingering. This was the very first video I have ever seen of Naudo. He plays in a hotel in Tenerife Island in Spain and one day, I will visit him and witness the GREATEST guitarist in the whole world do his magic. What separates Naudo from the rest of the guitarist you see on TV or anywhere else is his passion for the music he plays. He is a didactic which means he is self taught. He arranges his own material and incorporates every part of the song in his arrangements. Bass, Rhythm, Melody, even Percussion. His arrangements are ever flowing and have a sense of smoothness. Unlike other guitar arrangements, every note has to correspond with another note. But Naudo uses improvisation which allows him to play the chords/rhythm of the song and just add the bass and notes. This is very hard to do. Many have not heard of Naudo and most of his followers on YouTube want him to gain fame. But naudo has stated that he is happy of where he is in life. He is content of the small fame he has in his hometown in Spain and I agree with him. I don't care if he doesn't get paid Millions to play for the whole world. His happiness is enough for me. And I feel very special that I'm one of the few people on earth that know of this one of a kind talent.
