This channel is intended to share casual recordings of my classical guitar performances. I have been diagnosed in 2020 with a brain tumor and I have been unable to play guitar for almost a year. I’m just happy to still be alive and to play guitar, and I hope to share my love for classical guitar music for as long as possible. My side goal is to get back to my 'old' level along the way. Also I want to learn about recording audio and video, so hopefully the quality will improve over time.
I mainly use two guitars for recording. The Ramirez R4 (Cedar) and Vowinkel 2a (Spruce). I use Savarez and D'Addario (XT or EJ45) strings.
I use two mics: Rode NT2A and Rode M3. For video editing I have used the Windows Clipchamp app and Shortcut until 2024. Since 2024 I am using Davinci Resolve . For audio recording and editing I use Audicity and Reaper.

Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht - Silent Night, Holy Night (arr. P. Gerits)
This is a well known Christmas carol composed in 1818 on Christmas Eve by Austrian composer Franz Gruber. Originally the text was in German, but over time it was translated in many different languages.
I found this very nice arrangement by Peter Gerits on the website www.dosamigos-homepage.nl.
I wish you all a happy Chistmas and a wonderful 2025!

Jonatas Batista Neto - Pássaro Triste (2024)
Переглядів 13021 день тому
My 2024 version of Passaro Triste (Sad Bird). When I started my UA-cam channel I didn't have the best equipment for recording video and audio. And I didn't really know how to record. I am still very proud of those recordings as I was very sick, and it was an achievement in itself that I could even play the guitar. But it shouldn't necessarily be on UA-cam. Now I feel that I could do a much bett...
Michelle Qureshi - Mayan Trails

@MichelleQureshi This is a beautiful piece by Michelle Qureshi, who generously gave me this piece. The song uses a different tuning (D-A-D-G-C-D). The key is a minor, so I guess the tuning is some Am11 chord. I might be wrong though ;). In any case, I think the unusual tuning makes the piece sound interesting and dreamlike. Please take a look at her own UA-cam channel and check out her website....
The Purple Ash - Cim Frode

This is a very beautiful piece by Swedish guitarist Cim Frode, who describes himself as a 'crossover contemporary guitarist'. This is the 'live' version of The Purple Ash, from his collection 'The Whispering Trees'. The endscreen is a painting by Bassem Al-Samragy titled 'Unfolding'. With special thanks to Sjoerd for introducing me to this wonderful music. I am always interested in recording ‘n...
Alexandre Tansman - Rêverie
Переглядів 2882 місяці тому
This is my first recording by one of my favorite composers Alexandre Tansman. I hope I will be able to record many more of his beautiful pieces. Tansman, who wasn't a typical composer for the guitar, composed this piece for his friend Ségovia. I used the sheet music from the Suite 'In Modo Polonico' (published by Eschig), which uses the fingering of Andres Ségovia. However when listening to dif...

This is one of my favorite pieces by Erik Satie. Of course its originally a piano piece, but this arrangement by Dyens sounds very beautiful on guitar too. With special thanks to Ronald Smulders!

Jonatas Batista Neto - Sparklers (2024)
Переглядів 2473 місяці тому
I thought it would be nice to revisit some older recordings. This is one of my favorite pieces by Jonatas Batista Neto. I know much more about recording and video editing than when I started this channel. My original recording was just with one microphone and an Ipad :). This is my first time using Davinci Resolve. I really enjoy using this free software.

Ik heb nog les gehad van Peter Gerits!
Ha, leuk dat dit materiaal zo verder komt! Goed gespeeld! 🎄🎄🎄
Dankjewel Mark! Ik vind het een leuk arrangement :)
Mooi gespeeld, Thomas. Die variatie met flageoletten is leuk, zeg! Die kom je niet in alle bewerkingen tegen. Een goede toevoeging aan de sfeer. Apart om je te realiseren dat dit Barrios' laatste Kerstmis was. 🙂Bedankt voor de kerstwens!
@@markdegooijer5573 Dankjewel Mark! Ik vind de flageoletten ook heel leuk klinken, toevallig staat het zo in mijn bladmuziek (uitgave van Mel Bay). Ik hoorde John Williams het spelen zonder de flageoletten, dan mis ik ze wel! Dank voor de info, ik had mij niet gerealiseerd dat het de laatste kerst van Barrios was.
Superb, Tomas! Merry Christmas!
Thanks and Merry Christmas Juan Miguel!
Just stumbled upon this in the wilds of UA-cam. Extremely cool guitar playing! You can absolutely see the passion you give the music with every note you play.
@@jeremykevin9145 Wow, thank you❤️

Thank you Wolfgang, thats very kind of you ❤!
Great sound, beautiful phrasing. Thank you ❤
Thank you Jonatas for this wonderful piece!
Prachtig gespeeld Thomas
Dankjewel Hans!
Je zou denken dat dit een kerstliedje was (arrangement van Terezinha de Jesus). Brazilië is echter ver van Bethlehem, het is een alleraardigst liefdesliedje. Mooi transparant gespeeld.
Dankjewel Mark, ik vind de melodie prachtig!
Bravo Tomas!
Graciás Juan Miguel!
Een mooi gespeeld arrangement van een Braziliaans volksliedje 😉over een straat waarin een engel harten steelt.
Dankjewel Mark, leuk om meer te weten te komen over de muziek die ik speel. Ik hou veel van Zuid-Amerikaanse volksmuziek.
A really beautiful guitar piece. But also an excellent interpretation. 👏🎸🎶
Thank you Wolfgang, I agree that it is a beautiful arrangement by Jonatas!

See how calm you are playing this wonderful acoustic guitar solo Excellent performance See you around
Thank you!
Very interesting piece Tomas! Very enjoyable to listen to. It has an interesting sonority from the tuning. Well done to Michelle and you.
Thank you Rick! It is an interesting piece I agree 👍
Excelent performance, I subscribed to your channel.
Thank you very much! Really appreciate it🙂
Very nicely played Tomas. Beautiful piece.
Thanks Rick, beautiful piece indeed!
Mooi gespeeld! Ik was het thema al eens eerder tegengekomen op UA-cam, waarschijnlijk van Michelle zelf. De verstemming lijkt me lastig lezen voor de E en B snaren.
Dankjewel Mark, het lezen werd wel wat makkelijker gemaakt doordat ze er een TAB versie bij had gedaan. Maar toch wel wat gepuzzel voor de juiste vingerzettingen. Altijd wel even wennen om te spelen met een verstemming, de snaarspanning is anders en het geluid natuurlijk ook.
Very interesting piece! Bravo Tomas! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@juanmiguelsuarezThanks Juan Miguel, much appreciated 🙏
Dear Tomas! What a beautiful composition in a very special tuning✨I like the mood of it. Excellent playing and guitar sound👌 All the best, Marianne
