Ibanez...
...makes really amazing guits at great prices. Yours, obviously, is no exception to the rule.

Sounds incredible, man. Fine tune/recording, too. I love the nylon string guitar and you've got a beautiful feel and the chops to go with it. Cool it's your first time...looking forward to more.

"Spanish Haze", indeed. Jimi?

Jimi?
The Jimi reference was unintentional, I had another name picked out but everytime I think I come up with a cool name I Google it and find out I'm not so clever after all. Thanks for the listen and yeah the Ibanez was a good deal, built in tuner, Fishman pickup and preamp for $300.00. Stuck a mic in front of it and was kind of surprised on the sound.

Yeah...
...I didn't really hear Jimi in there.

Fishman makes good ones, but I've yet to meet an acoustic pickup that I like more than a good mic.

I hear ya
When I first tried the guitar I was only using the pickup and it was absolute crap, knowing I had to go to a mic I blended a little of the Fishman into the signal and it added to the overall sound, but you're right the mic was the answer.

Got a piezo on my classical that I only use if there's too much background noise for a mic. Live shows outdoors with too much wind, for example.

In that situation, I'll plug in. I've found that it helps to dial down the mid a lot and cut the treble a little, too. More natural sound. Cuts down on the volume a bit...but it sounds much better.

I really like this piece...

rich and dreamy
a beautiful haunting melody with wisps of dimeola flavors. Is that a picture you took personally? It fits the track perfectly. Invites the curious to explore and the daring to explore. Excellent production

CD?
I don't know about that...maybe an EP? If only I knew a great fingerpicker from Miami to make a guest appearance to bring it some credibility. Happy New Year to you and all of your friends, we will see what 2008 brings, maybe even some guitar slinging.

There's a lot of life to this...
And you are getting a great sound from that nylon string guitar...Nice and full...

There are a couple of moments, when the mix is less full, when I think a little less reverb would be cool, but overall there is a very lyrical, singing quality to the sound...

Oughta be a demo piece for Ibanez salesmen to play in-store....

You surprised me!
This is a great sound and great departure. The acoustic really puts you sense of melody front and center where it belongs.

You continue to amaze and are proving yourself to be one of the most understated MJ Guitar Gods.

Gorgeous exoticism...
if that's a word! I love it all and must comment on your incredible feel for drama and narrative in your playing. The exotic imagery, your playing emotes, is simply astounding! Very Very jealous.

A GEM!
Masterpiece by all means, great recording, great playing, great skills and performance. I'm impressed by everything here. There's nothing wrong.

Take Care

Addicting, isn't it!
Something about a nylon string guitar. It creates a sense of old world mystery, especially with a composition such as yours. This is terrific!

Faving this one was a no-brainer!

Bravo!
