La Gatica - Antonio Lauro

Another recording of La Gatica with better sound and tempo than my previous one.

Played on an Esteve 9C/B guitar.

Nice! Been working on this one myself for a couple of months now. Lauro's music is deceptively difficult; you look at the score and it seems like it would be easy. Then you try to play it... It requires a high level of precision playing to pull it off. You've done a great job with this.

Yes, many of his compositions look very simple but none are. La Gatica and El Negrito are the simplest ones and yet they take a very long time to play well. Not easy for either hand. There are many mid-measure shifts that make the left hand hard and many different right hand sequences as well.

People for whom this one is easy tent to play it too fast, I agree.

Nicely done. Lauro is very hard to play and you do it beautifully.

Thank you! It did take a lot of effort to play it well but was well worth it! It's a bit borderline on my ability.

beautiful utterly, the best on You Tube, 9 year olds play well, 19 year olds play fast (as if they dont like it) you play perfectly and utterly beautiful

Thanks for listening!

Home recording on a budget can only go so far I guess and I do add some reverb to enhance the sound, so that may be it as well. Also, the sound on the original video it a bit better/crisper - youtube seems to deform it somehow.
