It's not really. Just a matter of getting the right fingerings and chord shapes down. There are only a few fast passages. The trick there is not to rush them, and gear the tempo you play the piece at accordingly, so that the overall flow remains even.
Great guitar! What is the wood on the body and the top? Also, did you record with an outside mic or just a pickup system in your guitar? What did you use?
The top wood is Sitka spruce, with EIR for the back and sides. I actually didn't use the pickup system for this particular recording. I used a pair of outside condenser mics. (AKG C1000s).
Do you have the tab that you can share? I had a Sergei de Jonge once and loved it. I believe Fabrizio studied guitar making under him. The signature de Jonge bridge is almost identical on Alberico's instruments.
THis piece isn't really that difficult to learn, and it's a real blast to play. If you're able to play Canon in D (Pachelbels?), then it will be a piece of cake for you! :-)
Looks pretty difficult - well played.

It is a cool guitar, easy to play, and has opened up nicely. It's very well built (by luthier Fabrizio Alberico).

Never heard this until but this so ice cool, I've got to learn it...

"ice cool". I like that description of the tune. Definitely more "snowy desolate landscape" in feel than "high heat Sahara".
The tune is in standard tuning. Go for it!

Thanks for the music, Andre.
