Tom Farrell - Guitar and Yoga

Tom Farrell is an L.A. based guitarist who in addition to being a classical guitarist is one half of Duo Del Sol with violinist Javier Orman and one eighth of the Los Angeles Electric 8 (as is our own JohnPaul Trotter). Tom has also been practicing Yoga for ten years now, and we’ve been talking about doing some Yoga videos for a while, since so many guitarists neglect stretching and basic maintenance of the body and experience pain as a result. The first video is of Tom playing and the second was of him explaining some basic breathing and stretching techniques that might work for guitarists (or anyone, really) without taking up too much time (but we’ll try to find it and have it back up soon). He’s been playing on the floor lately, instead of using a chair, which is probably great for your back if you can get your legs to do that…
