I'm not too big on classical music but I learn classical etudes once in awhile to work on right hand technique. The written tempo of this piece is 69, which I thought was painfully slow and boring. I wondered if maybe it was a typo so I tried it at 96. I liked it so much better that way I decided to record it. Not a perfect take but it's my level best.
That link doesn't work for me.
(or it worked and sent me to Antarctica . . . with no music)
It's the rock that gives the stream its music . . . and the stream that gives the rock its roll.
Yes, it doesn't want to be too slow and I think you've pitched it about right.
Nicely done

Nice - and I agree it's better at that tempo.
As you may know "andante" is a tempo marking meaning "at a walking pace". Old metronomes from the 19th century show andante as 69 bpm but modern ones have andante at around 80 - 100 bpm. I wonder if it means that people walk faster these days :D
I logged back on using FireFox and the Quicktime player worked.
I agree. Very nice and well played.
I didn't use to care for classical but more and more I like it.

You think it could be our lifestyles now are more "fast paced"?

Not precisely. Andante means 'going' or the act of being in movement in Italian. 'at a walking pace' is a good description of it musically and it's linguistically in the right direction but the word doesn't mean it.

Boring? :shock: Va bene così! :D
Fernando Sor has very nice pieces for guitar and this is one of them. Very nice and very well played. I'd prefer a nylon string guitar but it does not sound so strange, it sound to me as a harpsychord.
Thanks for sharing.
That's some very nice playing there! :)
I tried to find a tab for this one, but there's at least 10 differen Andantes by Fernando Sor, which one is this?

That's a pretty important to know when you're looking at older music. I guess even time suffers from inflation...

That's a tele direct to the recorder + reverb (maybe a little too much).

I don't know where it came from originally, it's reprinted in Shearer vol. 2. I looked around for awhile in the Sor method ( http://www.fernandosor.fr.st/ ) but couldn't find it. :|
Since I got positive feedback I''ll probably try this again sometime...
Very nice! Classical guitar on a Tele. Sounds kind of funny when you think about it in simple terms. You've proven that it's all about the fingers. Keep on rockin......er, I mean grooving. (or classing?) Whatever. Very nice.

The Teles are amazing guitars!
I agree, I think you should try it again!
Congrats! :D
