Spanish Guitar

I've always liked classical guitar music. I wrote a song a few years in a "Spanish" scale and here's another one.

Thanks for listening/comments.

Bjorn . . . absolutely beautiful piece, just what I needed. You've  certainly captured the alternating strum and plucking of a nylon guitar, and your orchestral arrangement really soars in the middle part. Enjoyed to the max !

Nice job Bjorn - those strums would benefit from being more 'flamenco' in style (i.e. more staccato with a stronger attack) but incredibly difficult - if not impossible - to achieve with a guitar VST I would have thought. I wouldn't really know as I don't really use guitar VSTs.

Nice expressive melody though and a nice balance across the mix - you did a great job and I enjoyed the listen.

P.s. If you like classical guitar stuff, you should check out Steve Hackett's classical albums - they really are quite exceptional. The following come to mind:

Tribute

Momentum 

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Metamorpheus

Hi Bjorn. Hope you are well

Really enjoyed this mate. The intro into the upbeat rhythm is tremendous 

[Bajan Blue]

Hi Bjorn

Really cool piece - great work on the Guitar VSTi's - they sound impressive

noynekker (Bruce?)  Thank you.  I wasn't sure if the orchestral part really fit so I appreciate your comment.

Andy  I can't get enough of that eerie mood a classical guitar song can generate.  Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check it out.

daryl  Thank you.  I'm glad you mentioned that intro part.  Kind of simple but I worked on it for a long time.

Nigel, Thank you. Appreciate the comment as always.

Well done ? you might consider maracas, castenets, claves, bongo or conga percussion elements to lend additional depth to the overall sound ????

Same here, I share your taste.

Bay Of Kings would be another one I forgot to mention.

You have been coming out with some very impressive pieces Bjorn!  Everything fits together very well and you have captured that classical Spanish guitar feel.  You make the VST sound great.

Beautiful composition and mood. Well done orchestration and arrangement.
