Stuart, I think it would unfair and unreasonable for anyone to answer for Gordon. I'm sure he would be happy to hear from you. His email address is on his website, [1]www.gordonferries.com and is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
He pretty much plays it the same way on the CD, with some wild baroque guitar-like rasgueados. He is just fooling around - sorry, improvising - on the ground - what any self-respecting musician would do. You seem to be questioning his choice of appropriate style and techniques. I've never studied the 4c repertoire, so have no informed opinion. So far you have described what he does, and have asked us what we think, but what do you think?
