Wack as ****

It's so wack, it's phat.
 
I dunno, I'm just making this stuff up as I go along.
 
This is a great tune, it was on a CD of lullabies that helped lull my kid to sleep. Great tune and very well played it is. Did you compress it much or kinda leave it as is? Compression would bring the volume of those squeaks up and you might consider reducing it just a hair if so.
 
Or eq roll of some of the highs?
 
Or let it be. 
 
Captain's choice.
 
anyway, very cool tune well done.

Tom, yes the *compression sound* is disturbing.  I'm looking for a good condenser mic so I can record my better classical.  This is just a cheap breedlove pursuit.  Thanks for the directive.  Compression sounds bad on acoustic instruments IMHO.  Luthiers (et al) spend years putting together a perfect instrument.  I'd want to capture their vision in sound rather than tweak it.

Pleasant track David, nicely played squeaks and all.

thanks wookie.  I used to play this at the beginning of my programs.  It's really easy and is good to play when nerves are frayed.

I've always liked that song and I like your version too. If those squeaks are hard to avoid, I'd try reducing their volume in the Track view. Kind of tedious though.

Thanks for listening DR!

David well played. Nice tonal variety and good timing too - I liked it when the tone gets a little harsher with more attack - very Hackett'esque in style.

Please take this as a compliment but I could hear the challenge in that piece - one of those that sounds far easier to play than is actually the case. El Noi De La Mare is in a similar vein and is one I am currently trying to master.

If I could make one embellishment it would be to add some additional high harmonics at the end to give it that final flourish if that were possible. Thanks for sharing, a pleasure to listen to. Andy

Bjorn, the squeeks are avoided by gently lifting one's finger from the string BEFORE moving position of LH.  Most good players spend alot of (IMO) wasted time on these trivial things.  It was the pathological quest for perfection in the community that I left the CG world.  They're simply not fun people to hang around. 

Thanks Andy. You're excellent at back handed compliments. 😘

🙈 Not how it was meant. I'm no purist when it comes to classical guitar technique - I just love the genre and wish i could play better. My one and only guitar doesn't even have nylon strings so I can't even achieve the right sound. However I'll upload a link to my attempt at a Mauro Giuliani piece I tried to master recently and see what you and other folks think - that seems only fair. Andy
