Ditto to the above on the "cheap" aspect... it just does not sound it at all.   The tone of the guitar sounds pretty good from here, but it's also played well which of course helps a lot.   Personally, I liked the reverb - I think it added a nice vibe.    Just let that ending breathe for a second already.   

thanks steve.  Maybe I'm too much of a perfectionist. :(

I think you made a good deal with The mic. Sounds good and The playing and melodies was great

This was great, the best I think I've heard from you. I thought the reverb was perfect. You may have found a winning guitar/mic combo!
 
Great chops, too.
 
cheers,

Why thank you Tom!

I agree, David, this sounds fine to me...

Thanks everyone.  I think I'm going to revisit this in order to allay my mind.

It sounds good to me on PC multimedia speakers. One thing I noticed, though, is there is a lot of hiss just before the guitar comes in. Sounds like tape hiss, but if you're recording digitally there should be no hiss at all. Did you record at a super low level and then crank it up for the mix? Maybe that is affecting the sound quality. (Also, maybe that's why you cut it off so abruptly at the end...?)
 
Lovely playing, though.

I hear the hiss as well.  It sounds kind of like an old 78!  A lot of my colleagues record the guitar at a really low level, because the db's are relatively low on a classical guitar.  But, I normalized it, I think that might have been a mistake.

Holy cheaped out sound, Batman! Is this a WalMart guitar played through a Realistic mic? 😂

Seriously, this sounds amazing. I'm sorry you don't like it.
