This is a little something I did last week and decided to go ahead and post here.
About a month ago I was in Village Music and made an impulse buy (generally a good idea in a music store) of The Christopher Parkening Guitar Method. I’d discovered him in the dorm music library long ago and couldn’t resist buying the book now.
I looked through the basics (what is a whole note, what are the note names of the strings, etc.) and pretty quickly jumped to the end and found a simplified version of this old war horse.
Not exactly a performance to tear up the world of classical guitar, but the best I’ve ever played classical guitar - and a lot of fun to learn.
This represents about a week’s worth of practice from seeing it to deciding to make a video to then realizing that the video could wind up being the only surviving movie of me playing guitar, to this somewhat better version.

Malagueña - Student Edition
This is my first “post production” project. The video was recorded from an old DV camcorder via my trusty old Mac Book Pro, and the audio was recorded on the iMac (over my right shoulder - kinda over both shoulders, actually). Life is good.
