classical guitar piece - Valseanna

[jackofall]

This tune is the middle movement between two absolutely impossible to play movements. The whole composition is called Aquarelle - which is a water colour technique, apparently. The guitarist Gary Ryan plays the whole thing it on his CD 'Latin Temperament'. I had lessons with him many years ago - an awesome player and now prof of guitar at the Royal College of Music.

That is a very smooth sound you got there.  Woah, I just loved it!

Congrats!

Many thanks! I've recorded quite a few classical guitar tunes - I'll put some more on if people like it.

So serene. I will have to look for the CD. I'm a fan.

Well played. I love it.

Excellent song and playing.

Can you give specific settings on how you got this recording?  Sensitivity, volume, mastering details, etc.

Many thanks. I think I just put the sesitivity to maximum and then added loads of reverb after recording it. I always seem to use the 'Jingle mix' or 'live mix' when mastering as they sound so bright for the classical guitar. I just twiddle with the knobs until it sounds the best it can.

Wonderfull.  So many different musical styles represented on this little site.  Really well played.

That makes sense.  How far away do you position the mic?  Do you ever add a direct signal?

I missed this one before. It's beautiful. Sent me off into a dream...
