Decided to give this one a shot. Been obsessed with playing classical pieces
flatpicked on acoustic. Some buzzing here and there and some muffled notes
here and
there and a loss of fluidity in a few places (pauses between chord changes),
but otherwise I am fairly pleased. Just changed strings yesterday and so the
tone is lively! I think I play the second half faster. Not on purpose. I
think as I play it and loosen up that my picking speed ends up increasing a
little bit.

Learning these classical pieces pick style is really helping me build a
repetoire! Here are links to other pieces I recorded over the past few
months:

Bach Prelude in Dmwww.guitar-dreams.com/audio/studies/BachBWV999_withEQ.mp3

Bach Sonata # 1 For Solo Violin Presto (BWV 1001)www.guitar-dreams.com/audio/studies/Bach1001Presto.mp3

Brian,

See Hindemith said that *nit-wits* play without moral conviction. I
think it applies to you. Just like poetry there is a thread, an on-
going conversation in classical music, including classical guitar.
Hearing the music played out side of that tradition is like Jack Lord
on a Concorde, i.e. a bad rap. Don't be arrogant to think you
understand it, cuz you're wearing the clown outfit in this circus.

*polemic*

Don't listen to David and his b/s about moral conviction - moral
conviction has little or nothing to do with music (except perhaps
tangentially) and his comment about arrogance is probably more
arrogant than your picking up your guitar and doing something with it
instead of bleating online about how something doesn't fit one's
expectations.

*/polemic*

I had a listen to your files and sure it's not a classical guitar but
then I couldn't care less - the results are what counts and I like
them. I thought it made an interesting change hearing these pieces
with a slightly different tone to them. Nice one!
