Hey Conrad, thanks for posting this, I really enjoyed it ... Bach on classical guitar does it for me every time

If you are interested, check out the song Blackbird by the Beatles (off the white album) which is loosely based on Bach's Bouree in Em.
It is one of my favorite songs to play at the moment.

If I may make a suggestion, the video is a bit dark ... a little more lighting would go a long way.

Ah yes. That is a good point. I was a little worried about that.

Thank you for the kind words and I am glad you like Bach (this can never be a bad thing).

Great piece Conrad, you have a lovely touch and tone (and you cant rely on effects ?)
It's all in the fingers!
Great to hear a Classical piece, I am so used to your Flamenco pieces which need a bit more aggressive playing, in this piece your playing is very gentle.
The guitar sounds great as well.

Just one question, what did you use to record this piece, really captured the nylon well?

Thanks David. The tone is largely owed to that particular guitar. Some student luthier at Contreras got it right and I am befitting from that. The changes between Tasto and Ponticello, I learnt from my classical teacher (your reference to tone).
I did, however add a little reverb (reference to effects).

About the recording: As you mentioned, it is difficult to get a high fidelity representation of an acoustic sound so I had to find the right condenser mic to produce this. In this case the Rode NT3. The rest is just a little TASCAM DAW into the PC with Cubase.

Thank you for your kind words. you really inspired me. I appreciate it very much. ?

@Norman: Thank you man. I really appreciate it ?

Very nice Conrad. I love Bach, so peaceful, just the kind of music to play when you need some clarity. Love the painting behind you too.

I watched this at home the other night.

I have lots of respect for people who can play classical pieces, very nicely done. ?

@Viccy and Warren. Thank you very much. Hoping to upload another by Sunday or so.
