Conrad I was tired, ill and made mistakes but here is a Malaguena by Per Olov Kindgren on a Ramirez R4 student model: =
Warren Haha, that part at 0:52 is a picking exercise my old classical teacher once taught me, I didn't know it was actually part of a composition. ? Very nice playing and cool video!
Conrad Greg wrote Your guitar has a nice tone, what strings are you using? Those are the cheapest D'Addario strings I could find. Medium tension. Took more than a week to settle.
Greg Nice. I'm using the high tension Composites and I can highly recommend them. They're definitely worth the money and have a pretty long life.
MikeM Great stuff Conrad. I feel that there could be slightly stronger dynamics ito volume and attack, but really nicely done. I can still remember that piece actually, pretty sure it was played in Once Upon A Time In Mexico or Desperado, although on an electric ?
Conrad Sean wrote Nice piece ...are the pics in the vid from your trip to Spain? Hi Sean. Yes we took those pics in different parts of Spain. I grouped the areas together in this video but obviously I had to exclude some.
Conrad The reason many find this piece familiar is because this is not THE Malaguena but A Malaguena. A Malaguena is a form of Spanish music with a 6/4 time signature with the melody and chord structure that many picked up as familiar and is named after the town Malaga as it apparently originated there. Therefore what many classical guitarists learn is the Malaguena form, not the piece. There is no such thing. So this is A Malaguena by Per Olov Kindgren (whom I am delighted to say had a favourable comment on this interpretation YAY!). Much like a 12 bar blues by John Lee Hooker is not "the 12 bar blues" but "a 12 bar blues piece by John Lee Hooker".

aja Conrad wroteSo this is A Malaguena by Per Olov Kindgren (whom I am delighted to say had a favourable comment on this interpretation YAY!). Well that is fantastic! All that really matters isn't it? Congrats!
aja Dear Conrad! Brilliant! Very 'Spanish'! Great timing and your tremolo is great! Thanks for sharing and using my arrangement! Per-Olov Now that kind of a comment from someone that plays like this surely means something! ? = = = Wow!
