That's a good way to go, but playing the record degrades the sound quality, so if you want to take a snapshot, you can do that digitally. One could hang out with one's friends instead of taking their photo, too :) Hey maybe Rob is right. Nope, Rob is right. Anyway, the slim phono diamond sounds

David Playing your lute degrades the strings. Turning on your CD degrades the components. A good conical diamond wears the record less, so long as you change it regularly, and the sound is so much better from LP than from CD. The transfer to digital also degrades the sound Anthony

There's a lot of guitar transcriptions out there, if guitar staff is OK. If you need grand staff, a couple that come immediately to mind are the Kanazawa Holborne, and the Ness Francesco volumes (I think Arthur included a grand staff version with that edition, but I don't have a copy myself).
