bayoubill Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Nice work! Sounds great. I love all his music!
PhonoBrainer Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 uh, really really good. Appreciate the live video performance! cheers, -Tom
Starise Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Nothing like a recorded live performance recorded well and made by a good player such as yourself!
Will Posted December 27, 2018 Author Posted December 27, 2018 I wanted to have a song to post at the new forum, but I didn't have a new song, so I posted an old one of mine. I've lost a little weight since then, but I'm still plenty ugly.
James G Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Nice performance, good tone, well captured.
Lynn Wilson Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 Wow, short but sweet! I envy your finger picking skills; I've never been adept at that. I've enjoyed you other videos, too. Keep inspiring.
bjornpdx Posted December 29, 2018 Posted December 29, 2018 That's really nice! Beautiful song, beautifully played.
ZincT Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Lovely song, well played. The recording captures it perfectly. Do you play this kind of music live anywhere as you have a real talent for it? Edited January 2, 2019 by ZincT Too much wine
Will Posted January 2, 2019 Author Posted January 2, 2019 Sung? Man, I must be a really quiet singer.

I had St James Infirmary Blues open in one browser window on the old site and this open in another. Got my wires crossed. Nothing to do with this glass of wine I'm drinking at all. ?
David Sprouse Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 This is a great piece to combine with other of tarrega stuff to open a program. This is when nerves can be their highest. Like they say keep it simple..end the program with the hard stuff. You zeroed in on the feeling of the song, your phrasing is excellent.
Will Posted January 2, 2019 Author Posted January 2, 2019 Yes, start with Tarrega--end with Barrios. It should be a rule!

Amicus717 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Really, really nice. Lovely music, excellent playing.
Kevin Walsh Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Really nice playing and sound. Can you describe how you recorded this? Mic, placement, signal chain? Inquiring minds want to know!
Will Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 I used a pair of Oktava MK 012 mics in a simple X pattern aimed at the neck-body joint. I just went through a cheap Behringer mixer and into my ancient Echo MIA sound card. The reverb was added at the mixer during recording using an old Alesis Microverb. I never use compression on nylon string guitars. They just don't benefit from it. I may have done some EQ'ing. If I did, it wasn't very much. These old Yamaha classical guitars from the 70's just record great no matter what mic you use. I read somewhere that James Burton, despite having tons of guitars, still uses an old 70's Yamaha steel string in the studio because it records so darn well. I can believe it.
