Three finger picado on my 1968 Ramirez 1a flamenco blanca. Question for the mods: How often can we post videos here? I don't want to spam the forum.

Performance Miking up for a live situation

2 Upvotes

If you’re playing a solo gig with a nylon string guitar, what’s the right type of mic to use?
I have a decent condenser, but it’s really sensitive, and I wonder if it would pick up the speakers and feed back. I’m not sure how sensitive a dynamic mic would be, and I have even heard the suggestion to use both, but turn the gain low on the condenser so it doesn’t get overwhelmed.

Agustín Barrios Mangoré captures the organic rhythm of water in Julia Florida (Barcarola). Set in 6/8 meter, the piece mirrors the natural swaying motion of a boat over calm waters.

Performance João Pernambuco - Sons de Carrilhões

Here is my performance of "Sons de Carrilhões" (Sounds of Bells), a piece widely loved by classical guitarists.

I did my best to capture the lively groove of the choro rhythm and the bright ringing charm of the guitar, though bringing out its true flavor was quite a challenge. It was especially tough because since developing arthritis, keeping up finger stamina past the one-minute mark has been difficult.

Hope you enjoy the listen!
