It is one thing to see an accomplished musician play his instrument; it&#8217;s quite another to see and listen to a brilliant musician who is at one with the guitar. Truly, as I sat there, I felt the connection between you and your guitar &#8211; they were one. This doesn&#8217;t happen often, so I&#8217;m glad I saw you perform. At times, the guitar sounded as a harpsichord; at others, like a violin. That is a testament to the musician.&#8221; \u2013\u00a0Jan., Oregon<\/p>\n<p>2 &#8211; &#8220;Your CD. Wow! You have wonderfully braved the criticism of the fuddy-duddy classical ineffectuals. The choices and playing have opened your music to a much wider audience. I&#8217;m sharing the experience with friends and family, we are all on board. Another thing I really appreciate about the CD, you are willing to follow the lead of the last half of the 20th century and move away from strictly tonal music. Please keep it up.&#8221; \u2013 David C., Oregon<\/p>\n<p>3 &#8211;\u00a0Aaron, I recently listened to your <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/episode-87-aaron-larget-caplan\/id622648929?i=1000377685584&amp;mt=2\">interview<\/a> with Bret Williams and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=savage+classical+guitar+larget-caplan\">videos<\/a> at Savage Classical &#8212; both were excellent!!
