A little slow for a gallop, but beautiful nonetheless!

[Luthval]

@mjverive True, I should do it again some day... ;-)

[Luthval]

@klykv

Yes it is, from around 1800. (see info box for link to the luthier who restaured it.)

[kooldan76]

r 2 different necks joint? and why is the body so tiny?...

[UkeVal]

This is an old timer... from 1800, the form of the guitar change with ages...

V.

[asekr2]

is the neck board not raised? that may be why you are playing with that technique...?

[UkeVal]

I'm using old technic, as lutherie, technics were not the same during ages, modern technic is quite new, and will change tone day too...

Hello!

Thank you very much!

Where this instrument has been build?

is it spanish? italian?

[Luthval]

Thanks for the comment. The instrument was made in 1800, in France, Mirecourt style. Very early pre-romantic guitar. watch this video for a closer view :

Yaaay I can listen to it now! it's very, very nice! Your tone and the sound of that guitar are fantastic!

I just clicked favourites and 5 stars again, even though it doesn't have any effect lol.

Bye!

[YoJolina]

Aww that is sooo sweet! Thank you!

5 stars, it's in my favourites, and in my Vlog.

One problem though; I can't watch your video. My computer is sooo slow; It took more than ten minutes to loads this screen, so probably a couple more hours before I can see your video.

I have a new laptop next week, so I will watch it later. But I trust it's a great video. Val = quality.

All best,

Jo

[Luthval]

Hi Jo,

Is it your computer or your internet connexion that is slow ? I hope you can listen to it.(but in fact it seems slow to you because I play it slowly... lol)

Best regards

[YoJolina]

No the internet connection here is really very fast. I live in a student flat and we have an excellent network here. My computer is 10 years old! I use Windows '98. Poor me! I will listen to this when I'm with my mum next weekend, or earlier when I get my laptop!

Love,

Jo

Pas, trot ou galop ? Amusant si l'on compare à une oeuvre au titre similaire de Manitas de Plata évoquant le galop des chevaux Camarguais ou "Mustang" des Shadows. La question, tempo mis à part, est de vérifier si les pas de "galop" du cheval sont rythmiquement respectés. A comparer également au "Pied de cheval" pour guitare Renaissance que Mr Val doit remarquablement interpréter. Bravo pour cette belle interprétation !

[Luthval]

Bonjour Roger,

Ici le galop est une danse de salon du XIXème... (qui devait bien sur "imiter" le pas des chevaux) à voir quel tempo était requis ?

Val

[cyborlite]

Thank you, Val. I very much enjoyed this piece; light, airy, and joyful.

[Luthval]

Thanks my friend, hope a nice day for you ;-)

Val

[riceboii101]

lovely tune by Sor.

[Luthval]

Yes, a light one not too difficult. Perhaps should played faster ?

[Aquadeam]

Thank you for making my day.

:]

[Luthval]

You're welcome ;-)
