Kundiman 1850 by Joel Malit

This video is just a remake of my 2010 version just to try my new vintage guitar.

I transcribed and arranged the fingerings of this piece on tablature last September 2010 based on an audio mp3 from the album that was given to me by Mr. Mar Mendoza.

The junk guitar that I used here is an antique japanese guitar (probably made in the 1960s or even earlier), which I spotted in one Japan surplus shop in Cavite. The guitar was very dirty and has some broken tuning pegs. It costs only P1,500. I posted in my Facebook account some photos of this guitar before I cleaned and polished it, replaced with the new tuning machines, and filing down some frets. Finally, I made some adjustments on the bridge bone and nut to get rid of some little buzz.

Hi Joel - hindi ko napansin na nag-post ka ng bagong vids. Kumusta na ang fingers mo? Mukhang balik na ang dating galing mo. Regards.

@pasigenyo Hi, Raffy..Nakaliko pa rin at masakit ang daliri ko at kailangan kong mag-take ng pain reliver para makatugtog. Excited lang ako sa bagong gitara dahil vintage at ok din kahit cheap at junk. Di na babalik yung dating abilidad ko, saka kinatamaran ko na rin ang mga classical standard na piyesa. Inuunti ko nalang ang upload nitong mga kinapa ko para matapos na. Tinutupad ko lang yung naipangako ko....hehehe Salamat.

Thank you and Merry Christmas. lahat ng uploads mo aabangan ko. Isa pa, gumagamit ka ba ng pick up (microphone)?maganda ang tunog ng gitara. Ang gitara ko nabili ko sa garage sale.

@ReningSalazar Tie-clip mic lang ang gamit ko at webcam ng laptop, Sir. Itong gitara ko ay junk na halos at naisalba ko lang mula sa garage sale din, last September ko lang nabili for 1,500 pesos. Niretoke ko nalang ang mga cracks, palit ng tuning pegs, at kinikil ko rin ang ibang frets. Ok din ang tunog. Maraming salamat, Sir.

[ReningSalazar]

You are good. I like all your selections especially 'Ikaw Ay Akin' and 'Tunay Na Tunay'. Thank you for uploading and regards.

@ReningSalazar Maraming Salamat Sir, Napanood ko rin ang ilan sa mga uploads nyo. Iba talaga ang "oido" style....mas may feeling kaysa dun sa mga nag-conservatories. Mahusay din sa "oido" ang late father ko at di kayo nagkakalayo ng style.

[ReningSalazar]

Thanks for responding. Try to upload more music. Hindi ako nagsasawa na pakinggan ka.

@johnangelo13 Mahirap talaga maghanp ng magandang tunog at cheap na gitara. Pero kung nasa Manila ka, take advantage dun sa mga naglabasang junk vintage guitar from Japan...very cheap at di naman lahat yun junk. Pero ingat din dapat sa pagpili.

kainggit naman ung guitara nyo sir. kahit sa halagang 7k hirap ako makakita ng maayos na guitara
