Wow John, I really admire your talent, this was quite beautifully played.
Your guitar has a lovely timbre, and you know how to get the most out of it.
Thank you for the upload, more classical pieces are most welcome.

Thanks Dean. Much appreciated. That guitar, although solid, is kind of a lower end model. It was less than $200 retail. Probably a student model. It's a Fender cg-7. I was having trouble getting the sound to come across on the web cam mic so I stuck a vocal mic on the back of it and held it in place with my gut. I ran that through a keyboard amp to get a little more volume.

John, you sure can play very well, a pleasure to watch. Did you study classical guitar or just worked your way through?

Thanks Marc,
I took a couple of community college classes about 20 years ago. That is about the extent of any formal learning. I started up again after discovering this site a few months ago after years of inactivity, musically speaking.

Hi John, great to see you being so versatile (is that the right expression? :dry: ), playing such a variety of songs (that should do it! )!!

I actually do like to see you playing this a bit slower, to make sure that notes are sustained when they need to be. You really want to avoid notes being cut off, you know what I mean?

Thanks for sharing John!

cheers
