Reviews for "Etude #5 - Moonlight"

Bravo!

I like what you've done here and this is very inspiring. It's like I'm watching you play live on stage. As what I've read, you're going to take up guitar performance right? I say, you'll have a bright future ahead of you! At this point you sounded so professional by then if you take up music I hope you make it BIG! Keep it up! Peace!

That's really nice of you to say. My friends tell me I suck. I know they are joking, but it's still nice to hear I don't from people.

Thanks for the review and kind words

Now this is music

kinda repetitive but relaxing. so all in all, its good. good job man.

Darkmaster603 responds:

Thanks, glad you liked it. In my guitar suite No. 2 Russia, I have redone this piece.

Thanks for the review

Really nice composition.

I'm studying classical guitar myself so it's nice to hear some classical guitar on here! This composition is really nice, it has an excellent melody.

You're technique is very good too, you are quite expressive with this piece. The emphasis is all on the top line of the melody and the notes that fill out the arpeggio are nice and soft while the bass is not overpowering. Good, sturdy right hand (or left hand if you're left handed... Picking hand!). Good dynamics and slight rubato also! A couple of the notes in some of the faster runs were a little choked but there were a lot of notes and a bit of a jump for the left hand (fret hand!) so I'm being super critical here. I'm not sure I could play that fast!

Your mic is picking up a lot of attack from your picking hand, I think that you could take the mic away from this area so there's less attack. I'd bring the mic away from the strings/sound hole and point it somewhere near where the body joins the neck. You want to avoid excess attack and string squeak.

Really nice piece though,I really enjoyed it. You've inspired me to try creating my own classical song!

Darkmaster603 responds:

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I do need to work on mic placement, I just don't know anything about recording, so if you have any links I'd love to have them.

Thanks for reviewing, and send me a link once you get some classical guitar recorded!

Nice work

I really like this etude, but I can't help but think throughout the whole piece I felt like the counterpoint section in the beginning of each main phrase could have used just a little more baseline notes. But of course this is your piece and this is simply just what I felt about it when listening. aside from that, I liked this.

Darkmaster603 responds:

I agree there was more I could have done with counterpoint, but I felt this piece would be hard enough for beginners as it is. I may make a variation of this piece though and do that.

Thanks for the review and glad you liked it
