I' was off work today, mainly sleeping, so I feel slightly guilty still keeping this up.
Today's offering is:
The Guitar Music Of Spain Volume 3 (J.Nin-Culmell) - Seis Variaciones Sobre Un Tema De Milan - Variation 6 (classical guitar)
Played on the beautiful guitar I bought in Barcelona on a work trip once. Unfortunately its intonation is a little knackered, but it has a fabulous tone.
I've bitten off a real hard one today as these books get harder throughout the series, and my fingers just arent' strong enough to do these incredible stretches justice. The worst culprit is this baby(it's a tab chord for those guitarist out there:
E-2-
A-3-
D-2-
G-5-
B-5-
E-X-
Getting both fingers across to the 5th fret whilst barring with the first is a challenge. Consequently this performance is sub standard. However I really wanted to get this up here as the variation I chose is absolutely gorgeous. Big full melancholy chords and a lovely take on the simple hearty original theme, which I should record one day for comparison. I put in so much effort to get this to this stage I may keep playing it in the hope that one day it'll trip off my fingers:
