I was asked to do a bit of a fingerstyle lesson, so I figured I'd use this song as a demonstration for things....lesson is coming later in the day or overnight, this is just the performance....one buzz in the beginning, but I think it works out pretty well.
Recorded with a Zoom H2.

Sounded great to me :D I'm kinda wishing I used fingerpicks, but I like the feel of my fingers on the string. Have you gone through this dilemna? Your tone sounded good to me though. I don't know the song, so it might just be phrasing, but it looked like you were stressing on the end third. I might check out the song book, as long as theres something upbeat in it too.
Thanks for the feedback!
I've tried finger picks....once....never again....HATED IT!
As far as the end 3rd of the song, I don't think that the note before going into the Bm at 1:10 didn't ring out as loud to bridge it...I can hear it, but it's not as loud, but the way the sheet music is, they stop being eighth notes and are half and tied quarter notes....it's a weird timing switch, but it's the way it is.
The book doesn't have any "fast" songs in it, most of the songs are the slow melodic stuff that is so popular...there are the battle winning theme, and some other faster songs, but 99% is slower.

So I figured out a way to make it sound a little cleaner towards the end, and will be re-recording this, I'll update the link again when I get it done.

ah - well i have a feeling my guitar is meant to be a cheap knock off of yours - its a "Palma" (no, i never heard of them either :lol: ) - but it does look like the same guitar. (it sure doesnt sound the same in my hands though :oops: )

A Palma? Yeah no idea LOL. The only thing I can find is that they are "student" classical guitars, but then again, I think mine falls into that category too :lol:
Mine is a solid Cedar top, with Mahogony back/sides/neck, and rosewood fingerboard. One of the best guitars I've ever owned!
