I`m in Love with my new Gypsy guitar. It was handmade for me by Jürgen Volkert in Germany. Plays grat, sounds great.

I played a little bit around with it. Here`s the video. (Excuse the bad vid quality, the sound is good, though)

Enjoy,
Sandra

That was very nice. Beautiful tone on the new guitar.

I felt like I was sitting in your living room as you played. It is nice when we get a chance to see one of our fellow PG-Forumites. I would have loved to have been able to pull our my guitar and aly down some chords to back you up on this.

Hi Sandra,

I'm not guitarist but that sounded incredibly impressive. You're a sensational player.

That new instrument is simply gorgeous... and it stayed completely in tune for the whole track. I know you will be playing in on gigs.

And your playing, as usual, is superb.

What is your backing? Is it you, or a colleague, or BB/RB?

Post more for us, please...

Danny,

Try googling and downloading The Wimpy FLV player. Free download and it should play Sandra's file. That is the flv player that I used.

I downloaded Realplayer 14, which is an .flv player, just to try to play the clip and it won't play for me either. It will open other .flv files I tried but not this one.

Very nice Sandra! I'm a big fan of German craftsmanship. I'm sure it is a very high-quality instrument.
(And you play it so well!)

It plays fine on my Windows Media Player, version 11. BUT, that file type (flv) was initially assigned on my Computer to another player which did NOT work, so I had to find the downloaded file (in a TEMP folder) and reassign the player used to "Open With..."

Hope this works, it's worth a listen

Thank you all. You`re so kind.
@Daisy: I played the backing guitar into a looper and played the melody live over it, that`s all.

I`ll make abetter video next time. It`s apretty good camera, but the light was so low and the converting into the flash format made the picture quality go down the drain.

@John: Your German is cute;-)) I didn`t understand most of it - maybe it`s Dutch, hahaha, but it`s really cute.

Hi Sandra,

Gorgeous sound and well played. I can't even imagine the sound of that guitar improving at all-- but it probably will. How does it play? You make it look easy but I know some really good sounding guitars have a slightly stiff action. If you have a "butter" action and that sound you certainly have a real jewel there.

Later,
Jim


I'd be completely happy if I had just one more guitar.

It’s all been said, great sounding guitar that was played by a master, SUPER CHOPS!

I only wish that I lived close enough to you so that I could take lessons!

Great work; you make that guitar talk!

Sandra,

The guitar sounds great and your technique is at the top of your game, I also loved the haunting piece you selected. Beautifully played . . . I just purchased a classical guitar myself, so I want a lesson too! Maybe you can give me and Mario a group discount.

Take Care,

Great playing Sandra (but hey, what's new?). Your new guitar sounds terrific.
Too bad we couldn't actually SEE you nor the guitar. Perhaps if you tried with (a lot) more light in the room it'd be better. ("Hey, wir wollen die Sandra seh'n. Oh oh oooooh oh oh" (frei nach die apres-ski hit von Sound Convoy ))

Citaat:

Nope, definitely not Dutch.
