Title: Clair de Lune Debussy Samba version
Post by: Jean Pierre on June 04, 2018, 03:20:42 PM
Quotemaybe it will motivate me to play the whole piece which is actually an arrangement of Laurindo Almeida whose second part is played "samba"

it is a very free adaptation of the arrangement of the Moonlight of Debussy in "samba" mode, arrangement of Laurindo Almeida, Brazilian guitarist born in São Paulo on September 2, 1917, died July 26, 1995, in Los Angeles.

May Maestro Debussy and Laurindo Almeida (who have to turn in their grave) forgive me...  :-[

PS Alfredo said

Quotethere's too much bass, the sound is someway "bottled", if you understand what I mean, and some less reverb wouldn't be bad too.

PS Hey Alfredo, Ichanged the equalization  and reverb of the guitar  ;)

Brilliant playing and really nice interpretation here. I love a bit of Debussy and this is great fun. If Debussy is turning in his grave, let's hope he is doing it to a samba rhythm....... ;)
