Hello all you wonderfull GMC'ers

Yesterday, the 19th may, was my birthday, and I got my very own Alhambra guitar, which also makes my first guitar, as I've been borowing my sisters guitar for abouts a year
To welcome my new guitar into the family, I now present my take on Al Christies Malagenas lesson, i hope you enjoy and give me some feeback

Cheers Nikolai

Hello Nikolai
Congratz with your New guitar ,


It's sound is very nice.

How did you record it?
How much did it cost?

Posted by: Niko Fran May 20 2008, 03:41 PM

Thanks alot Vinod
Its allways good with feedback, especially from you

To be honest I dont have a "real" microphone, what I use is my own, cheap headset i also use when i play computer with my mates xD I got it three years ago at Christmas, so i dont know how much it costed, but not very much I think
The program I use is called "Mixpad" and you can find it by using google, or any other searchengine. I only have a trial version, but the program isnt very expensive, so i might just buy one of these days, as it is simple, and very good

Did you use a pick or just fingerpick?

Posted by: Niko Fran May 20 2008, 03:47 PM

Fingers - I must admit that i nearly never use pick, only sometimes when i play on electric. I've been training my fingers and grown my nails so I could play some of Al's flamenco lessons, Ben Nisenblats maleguena lesson, and of course Asturias which I am practising at the moment

I thought that because the excellent treble sound of the guitar.
So that's really great.


What I wanted to know was the price of the guitar not the mic

Two sec then, gotta find the old calculator xD

Allright, It's 1800 Danish Kroner, so that would make it 377,39 USD or 241,32 Euro The guitar is a Alhambra Maestro Series 100 which is Alhambras cheapest guitar, It's stil good quality though

Yes of course
Great sound mate
Congratulations with your new baby


If you are able to record lessons in future I can give you some feedback in your playing and we can discuss where you need to improve( like a real masterclass )

Tillykke med guitaren Niko, well played

Posted by: Niko Fran May 20 2008, 04:10 PM

I would be honored
Havent had much time to learn/record lessons the time being, as we have final exams in school at the moment, but I'll try to get back with some more clasical/spanish lessons recordings in the future

Posted by: Vinod Saranga May 20 2008, 04:12 PM

Anytime
Wish you all the best with your exam

Well played and sounds really nice

Wasn't expensive either, good choice

Guitarer købt i Danmark er som regel en del dyrere end i USA pga. told.. før dollaren faldt var de omkring dobbelt så dyre så vidt jeg ved !

Men nevermind For det er rigtig fedt spillet
