Allegretto Op 59 Matteo Carcassi

[TBman]

Played on my Cordoba C5

[Carey]

I think it sounds good! Good feel, and I like the way it's recorded, too; it sounds liike a guitar in a 19th century salon.

Well played! And I love the choice!

Thanks Carey.

Are you listening with headphones?

[Carey]

Yes, I mostly listen to recorded music through Sennheiser HD580 headphones these days.

Ok, that means my recording sounds like trash. LOL. I wish people would have told me. My guitar sounding like a guitar in a 19th salon is far from my goal. I guess spending only $380 on a classical doesn't cut it.

Ok thanks

Do I understand: everyone above said "good", and only you said "bad", based on a comparison to a "salon music" sound? Good grief, I have no idea what 19th century salon music was supposed to sound like, only know what kind of compositions came out of 19th cent, and that's what you were playing. Maybe the comment only meant "intimate," which nylon string often is.

Hmmm, maybe. I took it as the guitar sounded cheap and plunky which could very well be accurate. I'm not fond of the trebles on it and it is an inexpensive, but well made guitar. We tend to get used to the sound of our guitars and sometimes that's not good, lol. I'll put the video back. I took it down out of embarrassment. I guess I'll survive

My comment was meant to be positive. I like the intimate (as mentioned above) sound, and to me, many recordings of guitar do not sound much
like a guitar being played in a not-large space- which is my preference.

Shorter: I said it sounded good because I thought it sounded good.
Maybe I should refrain from commenting..

The written word leaves a lot open for interpretation. Not your fault. It happens to all of us at some point.
