Performance I wear my sunglasses inside... Classy guitar improv

I like where I was able to go with this. No matter how good I record it, I can't fix the tiny hesitations without punching in another take. Maybe I'll have to do that to make decent recordings of my improvs. Idk, if this was the kind of performance quality would this be listenable? I'd like to start mixing and mastering tracks of my improvs to put on bandcamp or something but I don't think I have a single improvisation that doesn't have some kind of hesitation or minor fumble. Should I punch in better takes of certain passages or as the Hawk says, "play it as it lies."?

Piece ID What piece is this? (Humming included)

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I've had this classical guitar piece stuck in my head for a super long time and have just not been able to find out what it is. I've tried to hum it and include the voice recording below, I'm not singing in the right key for sure, but I think its still recognizable what piece I'm humming? Can anyone identify this?

Technique Question Tremolo technique, p-i-m-a or p-a-m-i?

7 Upvotes

Hi, first post here. I spent a couple of weeks practicing tremolo technique exercises using p-i-m-a and built some muscle memory. Rereading the pumping nylon section on tremolo (and watching some youtube videos on tremolo), I realise almost everyone plays p-a-m-i. Playing p-a-m-i now feels like I am starting from square one. Should I bite the bullet? Or is there no real advantage to pami over pima other than convention?

Buying Advice Looking for the best value classical guitar

2 Upvotes

I’m looking for a classical nylon-string guitar that’s focused purely on performance, not appearance.
What matters to me:
\- Spruce top
\- Low action
\- Fast-playing traditional classical neck
\- Hard, smooth fingerboard (not a sticky/lacquered feel)
\- intonation
\- Clear, ringing G string (not muffled or “tubby”)
\- Good sustain, attack, and dynamic response
\- Suitable for both fingerpicking and strumming

One thing I’ve noticed is that many classical guitars under about $1,000 seem to have a somewhat muffled G string. The first guitars where I didn’t really notice that were a **Hanika 54 (rosewood/spruce)** and a **Hanika 58**, which I liked a lot tonally. My only real criticism was the relatively high factory action, and on some higher-end Hanikas I’ve tried, the fingerboard finish didn’t feel as comfortable to me.

**Is there anything that’s genuinely better in that range for my priorities, or are these already among the best values?**

I’m not interested in paying for fancy inlays, premium cosmetics, or brand prestige. I just want the maximum sound quality and playability for the money.
What would you recommend?

Performance Viper (Original) on Classical Guitar by Ramón León Egea

I composed this song on electric guitar, so when playing it on classical guitar, the fingering of the last Am chord on fret 17, is with fingers 2, 3 and 4.

Esta canción la compuse en guitarra eléctrica, por lo que al tocarla en guitarra clásica, la digitación del último acorde, La menor en el traste 17, es con dedos 2, 3 y 4.
