    That's a beautiful classical guitar arrangement of Somewhere Over The Rainbow!

    Lots of very creative and unique ideas in your arrangement - one of the best versions I've ever heard.

    Thank you for posting your video for us - bravo!!

    Very 'fresh-airy' arrangement! Thank you...

    By the way is it plain acoustic record or do you use some piezo?

    Thank you! It's recorded with zoom h2 recorder, no piezo used. Should buy new zoom h6 and then I could add different mic setups and tracks.

    cheers, Mikko

    Sound is very nice. Is this the raw recorded track? Any processing after recording?

    The playing and arrangement are world class!! Beautiful.


    The video editing a lot less so. Sorry. The zoom, pan, filter, fades, etc., all seem pretty random. As one professor once told me, "Don't cut unless you have something new to say, don't zoom unless you are trying to reveal something you couldn't show in the original frame, and don't fade unless there has been a power outage!" That may have been an exaggeration, but his point was that the edits need to be intentional and tell something new. Otherwise they seem just random and distracting.

    Hi Danielle!

    I used Zoom h2 recorder and then made some mixing with Garageband-software.

    Cheers, Mikko

    I think the edits added some movement, variation and made the video more interesting.

    Thank you a lot for those advices! I think you are absolutely right. I have to practice video editing little by little.

    Do not take as a critc, Mikko! But I think if you consider adding some dynamics to it, it would make it a real precious gem!... I think we when we do jazz staff on often heavy strings and so on we may forget that these nylons are capable for wide range of dynamics...

    Thank you again for your playing!

    This is as much I think I can put dynamics without overdoing. Put I will try. This is very interesting and I am pleased to get these advices. When playing I can't hear or see
    everything and understand the whole picture.

    Thanks! Cheers, Mikko
