decided to record some clips on my classical guitar, i've really been into playing classical stuff lately. none of these songs are quite right... i don't know how angie goes, i just know the main parts, i never learned the end of classical gas, and because i'm not randy rhoads, i decided to mess up in the middle of dee :roll: :D . anyway, let me know what you think. i recorded these on my dads old classical from sometime in i think the 70's or late 60's i suppose. he said the strings have never once been changed- they're a little green. :lol:

part one of classical gas tutorial, great tutorial.

watch out in lesson two, he makes a mistake and rectifies it in lesson three, so I'd watch the first part of lesson three to know where he makes the mistake, it's obvious because he tells you.

Get some new strings ;)

what do you think of what i have so far?

EDIT: time out section didn't work either, i guess you can only add songs as attachments within players section.

Not bad for just getting going - are you playing in the right place - I agree the string might be passed their sell by date, but it sounds like you are playing near to the bridge rather than the middle to bottom of the sound hole.

yup, i was playing more in the middle of between the bridge and the soundhole. i wasn't aware you were supposed to play at the soundhole, it felt too uncomfortable. i'll try your way and see how it works...

If I remember my lessons from 20 years ago correctly, classical guitar has three right hand playing positions:

Dolce - From the middle of the sound hole to the neck - to get a soft, sweet sound.
Normale - from the middle of the sound hole to the bridge side end of the sound hole.
Ponticello - from the bridge side end of the sound to the bridge.

Look at a classical guitarists hand positions on You Tube - its almost always in normale position. You can move to ponticello position for playing repeat sections to get that loud and hard variation in the sound - the great Julian Bream does this a lot.
