Oh well, I checked out goodwill finds after work today. There was a nice looking Kala solid mahogany tenor with case for $82 shipped. Based on the label it looks like a 2008 vintage. I will have a low g instrument again soon.

That was lovely, and I agree with Amie, it definitely qualifies!
I love this. My dad was Welsh and Ar Hyd y Nos (along with Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau) holds a very special place in my heart.
Woohoo! Looking forward to hearing it!Oh well, I checked out goodwill finds after work today. There was a nice looking Kala solid mahogany tenor with case for $82 shipped. Based on the label it looks like a 2008 vintage. I will have a low g instrument again soon.
Aloha, Guys!
Iāve tried my best to play something like this. Although Iām not good enough, bit still Iām enjoying it. I wish I had more time practicing. Iām way far from a classical ukulele player, but I really love this thread. I do like fingerstyle more than strumming. Please keep this thread showing up in my āwhatās newā frequently!

That was lovely, @Jeanpaul. Quite an ambitious piece, and you played it very well! Of COURSE youāre a classical player! Show us more!

So beautifully done! I love the balance between softness, strenghth, and clarity in your playing. You are more than "good enough" in my book; and inspire me. Thank you for enriching my morning.

@Jeanpaul I aim to be as smooth and delicate a player as you! That was lovely, and absolutely qualifies. Please share more when you have a moment.
I don't have many opportunities to record what I'm working on, even though I am working and would like to share! I'm hoping some time this weekend I'll have a window of people not being in my space so that I can record something to share.

@Renaissance-Man and I were having a discussion about my āCancionesā over on you tube. We thought the conversation might be of interest here.
āIt is interesting about the title. It Almost seems like the title of a section of songs based on that theme. The pieces that follow this one in the original tablature all have specific names, and are all similar in style to this one. But this one is only called āsongsā.ā

Here is an example of the song I played, followed by another in the āseriesā.
This album is worth getting if you like baroque guitar music that sounds good on the Uke!

An original fingerstyle piece inspired by the romantic period in classical music
Here's my latest original, which draws inspiration from composers such as Francisco TƔrrega and Fernando Sor. Big thanks to my friend Steven for performing it. Hope you enjoy it! :)

Thank you so much!
Another Gaspar Sanz piece. This has long been a favorite of mine. I have not seen a ukulele arrangement of this one. I suppose āwork in progressā has never applied more accurately! But, I am motivated to keep working on all three of these Sanz pieces that I arranged this week. Or, at least I completed the arrangements this week. 
Gorgeous! What a beautiful piece, along with a wonderful performance! I love the way you separated the voices. I enjoyed this so much!

That was lovely! I'd like to try this with the L'uke, the octave g course might be really interesting - different, because not campanella, but interesting!
I would love to hear your take on it! Thanks for listening!

To gain a true appreciation of how well you scored and played this, one should listen to a few other recordings of Clarines y Trompetas. I did. Your work here is excellent.
Thanks, you are very kind! Iām looking forward to growing in my performance of this piece. And hopefully I can begin to work on the Canarios soon. I really appreciate your encouragement!
