Variations On A Theme By Mozart (Sor) Dale Harris, guitar

Dale Harris plays the famous Introduction & Variations On A Theme By Mozart (From The Magic Flute) by Fernando Sor. Played on a Godin Grand Concert Electric-Classical at the RamJam (Kingston, Surrey UK) on 15-Sept-07. The first few bars are missing due to the cam operative being asleep! Apologies! For those interested in such things, the Mozart melody is also known as "O Cara Armonia".

just wondering what kind of amplification you used. I have been searching for a good way to amplify the classical guitar.  thanks.

John McLaughlin uses a fishman sbt transducer plus an omni condenser mic. John Williams now uses the guts of an AKG 414 fitted inside his guitar + an under saddle transducer strip. I either use a condenser mic direct to a PA system, or I'll use the Godin guitar into the PA or sometimes into a combo. Hope this helps.

Just don't steal my identity! Google must get confused, there are a fair few of us. Maybe I'm one of the few in the U.K. though? You're not the Aussie Dale Harris are you? Then there's a US poet, and a general in the US military.

All the best to you Dale,

DH

Is that a steal string guitar? You don't hold it in the classical fashion which would seem to indicate you haven't had formal classical training but, you play with a wonderful sensitivity towards the music and good finger technique to my ears. Thanks for posting.

Hi tnmtemerity, the guitar is a classical but its not balanced the same as a conventional classical so doesn't sit well in classical position - I usually use a footrest in orthadox position. I've had my fair share of classical training although I often wonder what good it has done though! Thanks for your comments
