Chopin - Nocturne no. 2 on 7-string guitar.

This arrangement is based on Tárrega's, but I decided to do away with the octave shifts and cadenza, instead honouring the simplicity and humble quality of the original. Also, like the Raindrop Prelude, I decided to honour the original key and tune the whole guitar down a 1/2 step. The guitar was a little buzzy in this tuning so I adjusted the action. I really like a lower tuning with higher strings, kind of like Stevie Ray Vaughan!
This Romantic 7-string guitar (629mm scale) by Mark Usherovich is a joy to play and record on. Having a low B is very handy for those melismatic lines at the end of each phrase.

Thank you so much. There is that famous quote of his about the guitar, I would have loved to know what his experiences with the guitar were that inspired it.

Superb. I listen to your recordings a lot, and never tire of the pureness of sound you achieve. So soothing to listen to whilst I paint tiles. My daughter just walked in and said "What beautiful music". Then my husband walked in and said exactly the same thing. Thank you so much for enriching the world.

Drew, every production of yours is a Masterclass. EVERY aspect of production is flawless. You are a consummate artist. Congratulations to you (and Mark) for achieving such a high level. I have tons of respect for your work. Thank you for your efforts and for elevating the concept of "how it is done."

I'm sad that I missed the live, but I'm listening now. I'm a classical guitarist on grade 5 and it's always such a pleasure to hear you play. I love the consistency of your playing, and there are no unwanted noises, like the string vibrating on the fret or unwanted glissando noises. (I'm portuguese so sorry if my english isn't so good😅)
@DrewHendersonGuitar Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much Manuel! Recording so much has taught me the importance of eliminating unwanted noises. So many things that are forgiven in a concert can ruin a recording, especially when the mics are so close.
@manuelcardoso7595 Жыл бұрын
@@DrewHendersonGuitar Yes, that's true. I have the luck of having an exceptional teacher, he told me to record myself or practice in front of a mirror, so I can evaluate my own playing, it really helps a lot. But of course I haven't reached your mastery (yet -- I hope), your playing is so flawless. And this arrangement is incredible, I don't know who made it, but it makes it seem like Chopin wrote this for guitar.

Hearing the first few notes in the original key jumped right out to me. I didn't know it was the original key, I simply thought you had set the melody in a perfect range by retuning. It sounded strikingly good immediately. Now I know why. It sounds written for guitar. Beautiful.

Yes exactly. I could have moved it over the fretboard but having it floating (and slightly longer) really helps with the resonance of such a low note.
