Title: Sequentia Offertorium for solo guitar

Here's an audio recording of one of my guitar pieces. I'm not the performer--since this is a "rough draft" demo, I'd rather not name him until he professionally records it later this year.

Just listening. It does sound very hard to play. I like the physicality of it. Did your friend re-record it? Love to hear it.

Thank you. He was ready to record it, then he developed a nasty nail problem (traumatic onychodystrophy). He has been slowly rebuilding them with acrylic and hopes to be able to record in a few weeks. It will be part of a CD of pieces composed for him.

:o :o :o WHAAAT is that? I saw a CG player last year, and when I went to talk to him, yikes!, his hands were horribly red and scaly and with all kinds of cuts around the fingernails. At that moment I was glad I had never considered a career in CG, haha!!. I know from my own playing that my own fingers aren't military grade, able to withstand the unmerciful. I mean, guitarists are very delicate people, haha!!
