Again in my backyard playing Fernando Sor Study No.5 from Andres Segovia's 20 Sor studies for the guitar. There is some wind noise, birds, & some kids in the neighborhood in the background noise. Again, this was not a performance, but a time out from chores at home.

  • NOW...This is down home playing at it's finest..great tune, and very nice technique..Enjoyed this very much..I thought the background noise added to this..especially the birds..and wind...Great Job !!! PB Vidalia Ga

  • I want to thank you and all of the others for their kind comments & criricism. Great to get that feedback. Sincerely

    Gary WALTS

  • Great personal touch to the piece and I like the whole look you got going on there. Kind of van Gogh-ish or maybe even a little Old Man and the Sea. And I don't mean this in a bad way. Artsie-fartsie; which is good.

  • I was outdoors working around the house in my old clothes when I decided to tape this piece. Afterwords I thought the birds & noises & somewhat shabby attire added an interesting contrast to the music.

  • very nice what guitar are you using its sounds really good.

  • The guitar is a Guild Mark V that I bought new in 1983 or 84. Rosewood sides & back, spruce top, though it looks like Cedar in the video. In recent years I have come to appreciate the guitar's tone. Either I've figured out how to get the most from it or It has improved w/age.

  • those are the best music moments, only you the instrument and the sound

  • very nice job! and nice look vintage ;D

  • Awesome man, I love your style, but the study is the no.22 op.35 in b minor of the Fernando Sor´s Guitar Method writen

  • ah so beautiful...

    magnificent.

  • wtf

    

  • Hey we're both a couple of backyard musicians!

    Very nice piece!

  • Background noise adds to the piece; doesn't matter about the odd missed note, simply pretty music from way back when, still able to tantalise our imaginations. Great stuff Walt.

  • I love it Walt. I enjoy the outdoor performance as well, it brings a certain spiritual quality to the piece. You're a true artist.

  • Nice job! That step makes a perfect footstool, I need to try it. I really should go back and brush up on all those Sor studies, give the Dowland a break for awhile. I'm not in the mood to fight the Bach stuff ever again, I'm old enough now to know I want to play enjoyable pieces for myself. It's no longer a sport.

  • crisp sound !!!! great performance --you truly are an artist
