Nr. 21 untill Nr. 24 CD III

 Nr. 21.

Moon over Bourbon street. A Sting song that has been worked on by
me for guitar solo. I've kept it in the original key and very surprising:
It worked out well. As also on the original recording it start simply with
a melody line against a bass line. The harmonies are added later and 
special attention must go to the piece were there are no lyrics sung on the
original recording. Some odd strechings are required here and there.
It is a demanding piece in all aspects. Therefore played on the Juan
Esteve ELEC that is easy to play and very accessible due to the cutaway.

Nr. 22.

Englishman in New York is another tune composed by Sting that is

very suitable as well or guitar solo. Beforehand you most do not realize

that some songs are forcing you to transcribe it for guitar in a certain

direction. In this case some classical techniques are combined with

American fingerpicking techniques. When I was studying classical

music on the Conservatory in The Netherlands I was struggling with

fingerpicking as it seems to go against all aspects involved in classical

guitar playing. I decided there should be some piece between the two!

So here it is. And it "walks". Played on the same guitar as on Nr. 21.

Nr. 23.

"Canción" from Rodriguez is another composition together with a 

second part. I didn't like the other part so presented here is just one part.

Maybe rude but sometimes you have to be that way....

Played on the Thomas Prisloe 2008 that in fact is my main guitar nr.1

Lots' of volume and never aggressive in sound. Beautifully rounded

hights together with strong lower ends. Spruce topped.

Nr. 24.

"Home" composed by Andrew York is another soulful composition I like 

a lot. But the original music that goes with this composition doesn't match

the beautiful rendition Andrew York himself is giving on YouTube. So I

wanted to forget the notes and just listened to Andrew the way he played the

composition at that time as it possibly evolved into an even more organic

piece to my opinion. Also played on the same guitar as Nr. 23.
