Default Dusted off the classical (**update ** notation included)

To further my suffering through the joy of learning to use thumb and finger picks I realized that I could add to my unhappiness by sounding terrible on the nylon string as well. Oh yeah,

Here's a quick "Etude" I made up on the Cordoba C5. Tic Tac, click clack, etc. Seriously though if I can get to nice quiet playing on the nylon too, it would be excellent to play around with.

Gorgeous little tune, Barry! The picks really help to bring a solid and articulate sound, which I think was the goal. Way to go!

Nice piece, Barry!

I do hear the fingerpicks on the strings, but it does take time to get used to those things. That's a good sounding classical, Barry! Sounds good!

Nice job Barry. Sounds good, and a plus if those pics are getting you to play your nylon more.
That's a nice little tune, with a lot of potential to go all kinds of places. You should develop it further and give it a prettier title, one all your own.
