Strange. Both pieces are ascribed to Sychra in a modern guitar seven-string guitar tutor (Menro and Schirlanin?). Does Bardina say that the first piece is not by Sychra in her intro? (I know the second one from Number 3 of his collected works.) I've heard her play before. Incredibly fast and accurate. Very powerful... but too aggressively assertive for me. >> All I know is Steven Mercurio's, the guy who is taking all the royalties >> for >> it, arrangement with the new-age chords.
