Hi Sarah,
well it doesn't need me to say that you played that beautifully. So many positive comments on YouTube - and deservedly so. Lovely tone. Did you record the sound separately as well as the video? - really sweet quality I thought.
I've been recording myself to see a. what it sounds like and b. what I look like playing - so I can get feedback for myself. I will upload Wild Mountain Thyme in the next day or so. I have recorded it.
The marathon is in a couple of weeks, 24th - starts at the Pier Head finishes the same place too. There are various bands throughout the run, looking forward to that - take my mind off the pain of running. I will be glad when it's done, did a 20 miler on my own yesterday, I was so tired I didn't pick up the guitar at all, until saw your video today. ~Motivated me to do it.
One off the reasons I haven't uploaded is time (excuses!! - probably vanity as its far from perfect - and I think it has to be). But I've been learning to play the Beatles - In My Life - classical style - had this idea of videoing my marathon journey, and playing this music over it myself. The reason is that most of the course is run around places that I have worked and lived, for example around Everton, Anfield and of course the city centre. This year the course goes up Prince Edwin Street off Everton Rd - its where my mum lived with my nan - and I have great memories as a kid being there. Anyway I thought the tune would fit and it does sound lovely on the classical guitar (if played properly) problem is that I am behind schedule in my learning it. Probably just a romantic notion in my head but Im determined to do it.
Checked out Elites new videos on practice etc, some very good advice which I will use, especially setting up a practice routine. Tavi also talks about letting go of some of the pieces you have leaned - which is great - gives more time without feeling guilty!
Almost finished Torija (just the end to do and get it up to speed) , working on Canon too, early stages.
Whats next for you or what are you working on? Sorry this was a long ramble -
