So, nun ist es wieder Zeit, Eure Ohren mit einem weiteren Stückchen zu malträtieren. Die Gitarrenspielerei ist es anzuhören, dass sie in einem Moment der Hast und Unruhe entstand - zwar noch kein Hummelflug, aber schon schee schnell.

Carcassi komponierte diesen beinahe schon zu Staub zerfallenen Opus Nr. 60 in A-Dur vor über 150 Jahren.

Nachtrag: Die Einleitung stammt aus meiner in Diletantismus getränkten Feder. Nicht dass Herr Matteo C., post mortem, Ansprüche auf Richtigstellung geltend machen will.

What what what! I´m getting use of the time by recording some new old stuff. There are probably no Paul Gilbert Fans among you, but this doesn´t matter anyway. He is the man who arranged and recorded this tune for the heavy metal album Technical Difficulties (Racer X). I learned this piece some how 2 years ago and it took me long term practising, analysing of technique and finding my own fingering. By the way I performed this tune on the Epiphone illustrated on the picture below. My fingers still burning due to the thickness of the (.052) attached strings. AAARRRGH!

Finally I got my midi control Synthesizer working again and it works absolute great.
I have a bunch of nice realtime controllers to add more expression to the synth sounds.
I was messing around with some string sounds and this little classical sounding theme is the result.
It is in c minor with some keychanges in it.

Opus 1, C minor

Almost sounds like a move theme

Enjoy!

A pretty powerabsorbing day lies behind me. I was learning for my soon occouring test in Multimedia Law 1 and 2. My empty accumulators need to be refreshed before I can go on with it, so it´s likely a great opportunity to cook a tasty dinner. Fortunately my co-inhabitant and Vice-Cuisine Master was present to help me out at a fairly big amount.

Following picture shows the result of our efforts:

This relaxed dinner for two would be incomplete without the right kind of musical underpainting. For this reason I recorded this beatiful Spanish Prelude in E Major:

Pprelude is composed by Francisco Tarrega

Concentrate on this picture above while listening to Lagrima. You will almost taste the mediterranean culinarities, won´t you

Very nice acoustic piece of music. You can find the original on the “High Tension Wires” Album by Steve Morse.
His Album received a grammy nomination for the best Intrumental Rock Performance in 1989. I like this acoustic song a lot. !!!

If you want to transcribe it by ear let me tell you that the guitar is tuned to an open E chord.
(e for the first string, b, g#, e, b, e)
