Playing left-handed : Balalaïka - The K

Just a short, quick video with no pretension... I'm here practicing the harp part taken from The K's gorgeous tune, Balalaika.

Please be gentle* as I'm actually still working on this tune; yet it is no final version... It's a kinda good exercise for me since the melody is mainly being played left-handed AND it has a special rhythmic bounce. :)

Enjoy, and don't forget to visit The K's wonderful channel here :

* Just a note to those who might despise the vid's quality : I would greatly appreciate if you could send me a camcorder for Xmas. :D

Hey, that's a lovely tune and very well played. Keep practising on it, I'm looking forward to hear the complete one. By the way, would you like to share the song with me? I'd love to learn it, too!

Really like the music, very soothing. Not to mention, totally diggin' the hand socks.

It is a very beautiful interpretation. Got a new harp? By the way ... When will we enjoy the honor of Brian Boru? ;)

Thank you for your kind comment ! Since the camera is still the same old one, I just tried to make the settings as fine as possible : Placing it nearer (but still far enough for you to see the whole lot of strings) and playing in the most silent room of my house.

I will soon make re-uploads of my older vids but don't feel really motivated for doing it, since I prefer people to watch me perform for real :o)

[ifgarciapedregosa]

Very beautiful. Congratulation.

Beautiful as always. I think the video quality is fine, it's a big improvement over the last couple which had a few staticky sounds. Keep on playing, and maybe reupload some of your older videos? Little sad to see them all gone.
