Beautiful solo waltz on an Antoine Di Mauro guitar
Heres another video of me playing(classical style this time) the French Antoine Di Mauro 'Heart Hole' model recently restored by UK based master luthier Killy Nonis...it has such a warm,even and mellow tone....
The piece is a beautiful little waltz by Brazilian guitar master Helio Delmiro which i transcribed. The mood i suppose is 'dreamlike'---i imagine a carousel floating off into space(i'm sober i swear)
Its funny,usually Selmer style guitars don't lend themselves to fingerstyle playing;they sound at their best played with a plectrum.However this guitar is beautiful for both plectrum and fingerstyle playing i reckon.
It was filmed yesterday afternoon deep in the English countryside and after the harmonics at the end you can hear distant birdsong....I like it when things like that happen :-)
Thanks for listening.

This is a rather old thread, I know. But does anyone happen to have a sheet with this beautiful piece of music?
Very haunting piece.
Hadn't come across it before - thanks Willie.
I see Stu Blagden is still active.
Here he channels Mario Lanza:
@Willie With his fingers so easily visible, it might be a good chance to throw it into Soundslice and practice transcribing it yourself. The software is pretty intuitive and with a guitar in your hands and the ear I know you already have, it would just be a matter of finding the time to do it!
Regarding Stu's original comments on the guitar's tone, I was going to say something similar. Almost sounded like a round hole flattop guitar when he was playing fingerstyle. Very nice.
@billyshakes Yeees, but I was hoping so much someone had already done this.
... and Vinícius Gomes really has:
