Paul Saywood; Op. 10, no. 10, study with rasguado for Tim

[theporridgewog]

Paul you have alien fingers but I like your style very much.

[PaulSaywood]

Alien fingers?

:)

[theporridgewog]

They're extremely long, Paul Gilbert is the same, his fingers reach stretches that I can only tap on with my right hand.

[goodwave67]

Hi Paul I've checked out a few of your videos

I like this one best so far.

[YoJolina]

Mmm that's a very useful study. At least for me it is. My rasgeuaueaueado is dreadful!

Best,

Jo

[PaulSaywood]

Rasguado isn't one of my strong points either.

Thanks.

Paul

[jondavis1234]

At some parts you play it like strings. I don't see too many guitarists do that.

Very nice.

[PaulSaywood]

Thank you Jon, but how do you mean by play it like strings?

Paul

[jondavis1234]

For example at 0:33, it sounds like classical strings are being played. If you know what I mean...

[PaulSaywood]

I get you, that bit sounds a little like a harp, the contrast from naily rasguado to smooth arpeggio.

Thanks Jon.

Paul

You are doing a good work for the repertoire of the guitar.

[PaulSaywood]

Thank you, that is a wonderful comment.

Paul

[nonexponential]

A very interesting combination of

resgueados with non-standard melodies.

Certainly very challenging to play well.

Thanks for sharing, - Athan

[PaulSaywood]

Thank you Althan.

[lehman]

very good job

[PaulSaywood]

Thank you.

Very light and lively. Did you use the second mike on this recording as well? Your guitar sounds a bit fuller and the tone is more "round" and full bodied.

What an excellent piece for study.

[PaulSaywood]

Hello Ed,

Yes I did use the second mike, it's just a tiny condenser that I've stuck onto the bridge with gaffer tape.

Thanks for your comment.

Paul

[stargate34]

Your brilliant. *****

[PaulSaywood]

Hey thanks.

Paul

[BaytownGardener]

Thanks Paul,

Just what I was looking for. This will make for good workout for both hands.

Thanks again,

Tim

[PaulSaywood]

Hello Tim,

I am pleased that this meets your requirements.

Best wishes.

Paul
