That is nothing but great!  :o  :o

Not that you play the guitar so outstanding well, you also can sing! Are you in a band?

Thank you! No, I just play jazz in local pubs. It's my first vocal recording ever! Because this song is so inspiring...

But I've started to play MK with some fiends of mine about year ago, hope we will do something soon.

It's pretty well recorded by the way! Good acoustics... using any effects?

Thanks again. Well, I'm only used onboard mixer reverb and compressor.

Guitar was recorded with shotgun mic + pickup through acoustic amp.

Beautiful, is that an old Gibson ? The headstock was always out of focus.

For exam in music school 2 years ago I've learned 'Sevilla' by Isaac Albeniz in just 3 days!

It explains my rhythm issues

I was blown away by how quickly you learned to play and sing this gorgeous song . . and get such a nice sounding video uploaded . . not to mention working out all the other songs on the new album too! Great going! I watched how you played it really carefully and I've almost got it down now myself (or, at least, my own take on it!) Many thanks! 8) :D 8)
