@lookfar29 Thanks for your comment! Yeah, I did the percussion also. At the time that I recorded this, I didn't have many percussion instruments at my disposal, so I was just beating on my guitar for the percussive sounds. Happy holidays to you too!
hahahah! it took me a while to realize there was two of you playing, hahaha, i was just scrolling around the page and looked up, hahahaha. this is great. my boyfriends going to love you when he hears this :)
Thanks! One thing you could do is buy low tension strings. I usually get normal tension Pro Arte strings by D'Addario. Strings with lower tensile strength tend to have a less bright sound than high tension strings. You could also try picking/strumming further away from the bridge of the guitar. The closer towards the 12th fret you get, the "softer" the tone becomes. Also, keeping your nails smooth and slick helps.
dude im speechless. this video is beyond perfection. the playing is magic. and the use of the bongo and the sand paper and the shaker . great. just awesome 10/5
i somehow discovered this video via they might b giants/ one of ur videos doin a tmbg song? this one and that tmbg cover both made me smile! very nice.

Great, however I wonder (as a raw beginner) if there is a way on the classical guitar to make it sound less clean and "bright"?
