Alfonsina y el mar (on Kanilea GL6 Guitalele)

- Опубліковано 10 гру 2024
- A couple of weeks ago I was asked to play a guitarlele for a session. It's basically a tenor Ukulele with two extra strings. I ended up buying a lovely solid Koa, Kanile'a GL6 and fell in love with it. Due to the nature of the instrument, the frets are very close together, but I think it's worth the effort! I'm playing in A to A tuning, like a guitar with capo at the fifth fret.
I recorded the Guitarlele with a Rode NT2A microphone into a Focusrite ISA220 preamp, into Logic X. There is a touch of Hall reverb from Space Designer and a touch of compression from the UAD Fairchild plugin, just to smooth over the peaks. All in all it sounds very faithful to the acoustic timbre of the instrument.
The song was written for Argentine poet Alfonsina Storni, who, terminally ill with cancer and suffering from depression, committed suicide in 1938 by slowly walking out to sea, in the middle of the night, until she drowned. The words to the song are very moving, check them out if you get a chance.
Beautiful song and master guitar player.
Complimenti semplicemente stupendo
Que maestro, genial version!...y la sonoridad Guitalele le mete cierta "altiplaneidad" que garpa increiblemente.
Please make this recording available to purchase!!! Beautiful piece- beautiful instrument - beautifully played.
una bravura pazzesca, e un brano bellissimo che non conoscevo assolutamente.
Grande.
grazie, ancora troppo buono! E' un pezzo stupendo, con un testo e una storia davvero commuovente... un classico del Folk Argentino.
Bravo!!! Wonderful! Gracias!
Very beautiful arrangement.
Hermosa versión!
Superb my friend!
maravilloso!!!!
Awesome 👏
Magnifica interpretación.
Muy linda versión Nico!!! El Guitalele suena fantástico!!!. Aca a Argentina no llegan los Kanilea asique me hice hacer uno por un luthier local que suena muy lindo. Amo ese instrumento mas que cualquier otro, es muy delicado e intimo el sonido y a pesar de su tamaño proyecta muy bien. Permite a un guitarrista tocar un "ukelele" con los mismos acordes que una guitarra y las dos cuerdas adicionales realmente completan el sonido del uke en los bajos. El tamaño es perfecto para transportar! Lo descubrí hace poco y es el mejor instrumento que tengo lejos.
Gracias!
Hermoso! 👏🏻
That was fucking incredible
Великолепно
suena hermoso y con el guitarlele suena aún más hermoso, me gustaria algún día tocar como usted!. si aprendo guitarra, podría tocar más fácil el guitarlele?. qué marca me recomendaría?. gracias y un saludo :-)
