Francisco Tárrega - Etude in E minor

Hi, today I decided to record this beautiful etude in E minor by Francisco Tárrega.

This is one of the first musics I've learned, 4 or 5 years ago. I didn't played it for a long time (2 or 3 years) but some months ago I tried to remember it and I got it. This is the mixture of two versions I think.

Have some mistakes, I tried to avoid that but the most I try worst are the results so I uploaded this recording without any cuts.

I hope you like it, and as in the other videos post any suggestion, question or critic. It will help me to improve

Thanks,
Miguel

Any suggestions to improve? Apart from the accidental mistakes?

Nicely done. The version you are playing is slightly different from the original work and from the version I currently play. Nevertheless, sounds good.

Your meñique is extended leading me to believe your right hand is not relaxed. However, many players often keep the meñique extended even if they are relaxed so that way it is ready for other work.

Good quality on the video and sound. What equipment did you use?

Thanks I use a Panasonic Lumix FZ38 to record video and audio and then I add some reverb and it's done.

I am newbie, but my instructor would be all over your strumming hand... He'd say it's too tense... He doesn't like the veins and the straight digit... He'd say relax that puppy!!!!

I also listened to your Lagrima and Sor's Etude V. These were very nice. The audio quality sounded better. Was this recorded with the FZ38 also? Did you use an external mic, or the camera mic? And if so, what kind of software did you use for the movie and the music. Nice video.

BTW, Paco de Lucia also plays often with the meñique extended. I don't think it's that big a deal.

Yes is recorded with FZ38 also. Camera mic. I added reverb in Adobe Audition but any software for editing audio do that.
