All Pro-Arte treble strings are sorted by a sophisticated computer-controlled laser machine which performs diameter/tension measurements and quality checks, insuring true sounding, precise trebles in every set. Pro-Arte basses are wound using silver plated copper on a multi-filament nylon core.

Saverez Traditional trebles are made of rectified nylon which is characterized by a distinctive unpolished finish. This grittiness contributes to a lessening of the high overtones. Because of their texture, the treble strings are unusually controllable with regard to vibrato and stability. The characteristics of their tone make their pitch particularly clear and true. The basses are on the warm and soft side, and their tone is strong overall.
These are my favourite strings for the best sound from my guitar.

The Wedding Waltz – Frédéric Mesnier


Hi,

Here is my first video for 2010. A waltz dedicated to just married people. I have been working some time on this tune. To compose it first but also to play it. Altough there is no particular chord position it took me some weeks before I get it under my fingers.

Hope you will like it.

from “A Classical Guitar Christmas” album –

http://www.guitar69.com/christmasalbum.htm

free tab / notation located at

http://www.guitar69.com/noel.htm

——————————————–

Sorry about the background noise – this is New York City after all….

The arrangement is definitely influenced by the Beatles “Let It Be” – lots of 10ths and stepwise harmonic motion. I hope you enjoy hearing and playing it and will share it with others this Christmas.

Feel free to comment – but please don’t get nasty to each other. As my Mom would say “Don’t fight – It’s Christmas!!!!”…haha

Have a very Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous 2008!
