Stringing The Blues (Fix) on nylon guitar

Finally I found time to record some tunes ... and I'm proudly presenting my new nylon string guitar, a classical crossover BSG from Czech luthier Jan Stovicek. It's such fun to play, I can't get my hands off of her. Don't want to bore you with another rendition of this great M. Fix piece, but the playability and sound of this instrument just invited me to do this again :-)
Hope you enjoy it!

Camera: Sony DSC-HX1
Recording machine: Tascam 2488neo

Very sophisticated treatment. Utterly in control, unhurried but intense. I wish the shredders would listen to REAL guitar like this. Beautifully rendered. I noticed you used a fast index finger brush near the bridge at the end. A guy from Texas showed me if you do that very same thing over the fingerboard around the octave, it sounds a lot more like the violin technique and the fingerboard support lets you press harder with your index. Very movie soundtrack [-) Thanks for the great playing!

What a kind comment! Thank you so much! I love this song and it's much fun to play. Thanks for the information on the brush in the end. I will try that.

Best wishes,

Bernd

I'm really sorry! Maybe you should try different palm positions, but I think you've already done that.

When I palm mute (with my strumming hand) on my nylon, I get a buzz from the bass notes I am trying to palm mute. Thy buzz against my palm. (Mostly when I try a chet atkins style boom chick thing) I don't get this on my steel string. Any tips?
