A bit of classical guitar for you.

I been playing this one for about a week, it's a deceptively difficult piece, as it sounds really easy, but when you are playing it, it's far from easy.

There are I think 3 movements to this piece, each one a virtuso piece in itself, I am working on 2 now, looked at movement 3 and raised an eyebrow.

This is a single guitar piece, no overdubs or second guitars or effects for that matter.

I don't think I played it as well as I possibly could, but it's not bad.

Played on a Raimundo Nylon strung guitar, I play it better on an electric guitar, as the Raimundo doesn't have any markers on the guitar above the 7th fret, and I not really had it long enough to know exactly where the 12th fret is without looking, but the electric guitar just doesn't sound right.

Anyway I hope you like.

Really nice Fong - and not at all easy. I hope you'll post the other movements some time.

[Rockerbob]

nice. You did a great job of bringing the melody out in volume.

Fong,
That was very nice, love the sounds of a nylon classic. Please post other movements.

Fong,
Excellent, playing.

Fong, that was beautiful!

Beautiful piece well played. I would be curious to hear how it sounds on an electric, though.

Thanks for all the kind words, been busy working on movement 2 tho it's not quite as good, has its moments tho. Movement 2 is learnt but going to take a bit to get the timing good enough to record, movement 3 just is incredibly hard.

I added the electric version so you can hear it, one of the problems I noticed was after playing a nylon strung classical sized guitar, when I played on the electric, I pressed soo hard on the strings that it put the note ever soo slightly out of tune, its odd occasionally you can even hear the note going.

Nice job Fong...I enjoyed it.

Fong-You did an excellent job on such a beautiful piece.I have that song on a cd and I just love to listen to that kind of stuff to unwind on my half hour drive from work.

Just listened to the electric version- both are very cool.
