A wonder if any other forum member has a tune to offer?
Any style, any level, solo or accompanying singing. It's all good. When Eric Clapton did his "Unplugged" album in the mid 1990's, he played a classical on a few tunes. The opening tune "Signe", caught my attention. It seemed so unlike a Clapton tune. But I liked it. I recorded this a few years ago. A fun tune to play. http://www.davidhilyard.com/downloads/Signe_Draft_1.mp3 Anyone have something they'd like to post? Cheers. |

Nicely done, David.
I'll probably arrange to record something new in the near future. Just missed the chance this weekend, but I really want to take a shot at this piece (of course, I'm not nearly in the same level) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bY5FldjyD4 I've been studying for some time now. When I do, I'll be pleased to post here. People, dont just let this topic die, it is very nice to hear you all playing. |

Here's one of my nylon-string songs ...
http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6110135 Recorded on an Alvarez AC60SC. Didn't plug it in, just used the mics on a Zoom H4. |

I love that song, Chris! Thanks for posting! Did you use the Zoom H4 for both the vocal and the guitars?
Nice sound and fun lyrics. Sweet little solo there, too. |

I've been away so I'm just catching up to this thread. Here's one I recorded a few years ago, and I'm just revisiting (I founf the music under a pile of stuff I was cleaning . It's a Buster B. Jones (RIP Buster!) called Merci Marcel, a tune he wrote for Marcel Dadi: ( I hope the link works. It's an audio MP3 file) I love this tune. http://files.me.com/afortin2004/4o9ry4.mp3

Thanks a lot! That was done on the old Ramirez, which I have since sold. And yes, that final lick is definitely a plug to Jerry on Buster's behalf! Absolutely. BTW, I picked up a few nylon gems recently, which I'm in love with. A couple of Martin 00-18Gs, a '58, and a '47. They play like "buttah". (I may put a pick-up in one.) In any case, these relatively inexpensive Martins are little treasures. The 47 I got was in pristine condition. An old dude in California who kept the poor thing in the closet. It's like new. and I'm doing my best to wake it up! Here are a few pics of this 63 year old pearl:

Andre,
Wow! What a cool looking guitar. I am not that familiar with the Martin line (I should look in my Martin book, duh...) so I was only aware of the N10 and N20 Martin nylon strings, except for the very early Martins. That's cool that you found two 00-18G's. The classic rounded bridge, like on the N10 and N20. Is that mahogany back and sides? I'll look them up. I like the Martin logo, on the back of the headstock. Must be a great vibe, playing a piece of history like that. Enjoy!!! |

Thanks, David! Yeah, the Zoom for both the vox and the gits. This was my first "remote" in-the-field multitracking session. Did it a few Christmases ago down off-the-beaten path outside of New Braunfels, TX. |

Good eye. That is indeed mahogany b/s, and the top is spruce. (I learned quite a bit on these models from hanging out with the super knowledgeable folks over at the UMGF). This model was introduced in 1936, and went into production in 1937. A year later respectively, the 00-28G version came out, a more deluxe version with brazilian b/s instead of mahogany. These are still out there too, but a lot pricier. Both models ended production in 1962. They were unusual in that they combined a 14 fret 00 body with a 12 fret neck. They display great warmth in their tone, which is what I find so addictive about them. Yes, it feels great too to own and play a piece of history. (Incidentally, my 47 has Serial # 99000, which is kinda cool).

Thanks for the information, Andre. I couldn't find the model in any of my guitar books so I googled it. Interesting reading and some great photos of several. This article is particularly interesting. Woody Guthrie and Eric Clapton both thought highly of the model. See the price Eric's sold for at auction.
http://www.guitarbench.com/2009/07/1...itar-database/ Very cool guitars! If I ever get back your way, I'd love to take them for a spin. And your other guitars. |

(The serial number it gives does indeed place it as a '41.) Quote:

I would entertain that idea. Question though: Is this database for general information purposes, i.e. like an on-line educational library resource to inform the general public, or does it serve some other purpose? Knowing you, I have a feeling it is the former, and I would be happy to participate, but I just want to be sure. Thanks!
