Topic: Classic Guitars, pretty perfect!

Esperançoso ("Enquanto houver música, há esperança") - My improvisation in Portuguese style for two guitars. --- Impressed and influenced by my personal encounter with fado, I came up with this piece quite spontaneously. And no, I don't play guitar: the "guitars" are digital samples, played on keyboard but they sound really well and have a refined emotional sonority! (Modartt's Pianoteq 8, Classis guitar")

I hope you enjoy this piece and I appreciate you letting me know what you think!

Hello René-Damen, and welcome to the forum

You really make Ptq guitar shine! I think this is just  amazing, wonderful beautiful… thank you René-Damen.
And your music On Your Toes is so ”modern”. I like the contrast at about 2,24 soft part.
I suggest you upload your next music in the other sub-forum ”Recordings featuring Pianoteq and Organteq”
Thanks for sharing your music. Waiting for more.

Best,

Stig.

Sounds great! Love the new guitar and your piece here.

Re: Classic Guitars, pretty perfect!

René,

Thank you for a beautiful and tranquil composition for two guitars. If the video could be redone to fulfil the requirements of the Modartt Video Competition 2022, then I would love to see it entered as an example of what you can achieve using the Classical Guitar Module.

I, too, don't play the guitar, but I wanted some reasonable MIDI examples to experiment with, so I followed up on your suggestion about the "fado" style and came across the following interesting resource on the Web.

https://www.guitares.org/p_eng_t.html

which contains the guitar music of Marc Lamberg of the Quatuor de guitares de Waterloo. The music, apart from being very pleasant and relaxing, is available as a MIDI files and so you can, therefore, experiment with the Pianoteq Classical Guitar settings, whilst "playing" the guitar music. The Classical Guitar 12 Strings with a Church Reverb and a slightly worn condition of 0.43 (after all nobody ever listens to a perfectly tuned guitar being played amongst friends) seems to be a reasonably close approximation to what I remember reality to be.

Hopefully, this site will prove useful for other Pianoteq users to experiment with the Classical Guitar module.

Once again, thank you for making Esperançoso available for our enjoyment, as well as all the other music on your web-site, which I'm gradually listening to.
