Wonderful playing bro. I know exactly how it is to redo a video a million times until I get the right take. But videos like your entry make you realize that it's worth it to keep pushing through until you get the best one. I thoroughly enjoyed this classic ballad from start to finish, it's one of my favorites and you played it well.
Thanks man , I appreciate that. Yeah it's kinda funny , the record button has a bit of a dual function for me. First , obviously , it records , but secondly it seems to be a ' spontaneous I can't play anymore ' button . hahah . Seems to bring on some sort of digital stage fright or something. Anyways though , thanks again for the reply , i appreciate you taking the time to comment and share your thoughts.
Yeah you're most welcome. I have experienced that same digital stage fright phenomenon, but I actually love performing live for people, I think it is the lack of an audience that gets me nervous, ironically because I'm all about making an impact with my music and staring at a camera phone is so indirect and impersonal yet it is different when I am recording a track professionally in the studio booth. Crazy contrasts right? Live performances for me are the absolute best
Beautiful song. You play it will
Hey thanks @luzcypher :) . And yeah , I've been playing that one for quite a while now , although it's been a good while since I last played it. Speaking of all that though , that had to be like my 20th or 30th take (i lost track) to get through it in one take with out making a mistake , that's why I sound the way I do in the beginning LOL , my fingers were getting pretty tired at that point.
very awesome! reminds me of russian balades I know.
Thank you for the comment and taking the time to listen :)
Great tune! You're making me want to practice fingerpicking style all day now.
Yeah , i always did like the sound of this one. And yeah man , Go for it . It'd be cool to see you do some fingerpicking :)
great work! :)
Thank You , I appreciate that :)
Very good guitar work. I love That Spanish sound.
Cool man , thanks :) ... And yeah i know what you mean. There's something about Spanish guitar ... duuno what it is exactly ... but it's definitely something :) .... I remember years ago , my brother had a CD (what the heck are those hahah) of some Spanish guitar stuff , and it wasn't like Segovia or someone like that ... i can't remember exactly who it was now , but it was more of a classical crossover sort of music. And this was either right before or right after i got my classical guitar , and i was like oooo ... i want to play like that ... There was just something about that sound.
Totally agree. I need to get a classical guitar one of these days. Easier on the fingers haha.
Very nicely done, great RH technique. I know how tough it is to pull off that piece w/out mistakes, you obviously put quite a few hours into that one...+1
Hey , thanks man. And yeah , it did take a little while to finally get through that one , most of the mistakes seem to have been either right at the beginning or right at the end hah.
Nice job Brother, I really like the right hand technique. Good luck this week!
Thanks @brimax :) . Yeah , i used to practice quite a bit when i first got my guitar , now i find it hard to play with a pick sometimes , then again i was never really that good with a pick anyway haha! And hey , good luck to you too man.
Nice, One of my Favourite Classical Guitar Pieces, so Nostalgic !
Hey jaybird , thanks man. I always like playing or listening to that one too :)
