Waltz in C Major

Standard

A sweet sweet waltz, still recording using my laptop microphone and every movement counts. But, things are getting better, I got the new cables I’ve ordered and they are working almost perfectly.

I’ve also started to work on new music for guitar and I really hope to start recording with my lutes soon.

Waltz in G Major

Standard

Well, this is it. I’m back with the guitar according to the changes I promised few days ago. I know, I know, it’s not perfect, there some issues to be solved, and in time I’ll solve every single issue I have.

For start, I’m recording with the built in microphone of my laptop, this causes several issues with the recording (not sure you can hear it, but I can), the microphone is not bad, but it’s not meant for guitar (or lute) I hope to solve this one in the next few weeks by ordering cables for my old audio interface. Easy fix I hope, but costs money.

Second, and again, not sure you can hear it (but I can), I recorded in my bedroom, on my bed. At some point during the recording Miss Bella decided it’s going to be fun to jump on the bed. It moved me and the laptop, it’s a minor interruption. When I get the cables to my Scarlett, I promise not to record from bed again. Hope you understand.

Three, my guitar need some fret work, after 25 years she should get some love too. Unfortunately, this will have to wait for few more months. Work on the lutes going to be expensive and I can’t afford everything at the same time. So in the next few recordings you might hear some fret buzz now and then.

And for last, is the most important issue is my mental health. Although it’s getting much better with each passing month, there’s still a lot to go. It’s going to take some time to get used to record with guitar and lute, you can defiantly hear my stress in this recording (and the next several recordings), I hope the stress reduces, getting more confident and less side effects from my meds as I’m now getting lower dosages.

I want to thank you for your patient and belief.

Ori’s Waltz / Omer Katzir

Standard

Nothing too much to write about, it a slow and very simple waltz dedicated to my wonderful niece, Ori Livnie.

Well, there actually few things to write about it. For one, I play in faster tempo, about 110. Second, 4th bar, I don’t play it as written, I play the first chord as dotted one and shorter with the second chord. Finally, I use different chord at the end of the second part, just go G# Minor in any position you like.

It’s more of educational piece for beginning students as it’s very easy to analyze with guitar tablature for new students without musical background. Composed at October 2nd 2020, recorded at the 9th.
