No Christmas Carols for the end of this year, but a song that had to wait for being recorded for almost a year. I started playing this nice arrangement by Yoni Schlesinger during last year’s Christmas Holiday. Somehow I couldn’t find a nice ending and I put the whole song “in the fridge”. This month I arranged the ending and finally it’s done! I really tried to give you the feeling of Mark Knopfler’s soothing voice. Hope you enjoy it!

A Whiter Shade Of Pale
Finally, I finished this arrangement! Based on an arrangement by Martin Tallstrom, but after listening to the original I wanted to add some of the organ riffs. I also couldn’t resist adding some more bass notes, and finally I started listening very carefully to the lyrics as I wanted the melodie to match as much as possible. So here we are. A Whiter Shade Of Pale, version 3.4

This piece is the limit for my small hands and short fingers!
I’m really considering buying a señorita guitar, as I already could feel the old injury in my wrist coming back a little bit.
The injury was caused by a bad posture taught by my teacher at the conservatorium who told me to play through the pain. I was wearing a brace for my wrist and for a long time I couldn’t even cut the food on my plate as it hurt so much.
I was referred to a specialist in the hospital who asked me to bring the guitar so we could check my posture together. That made so much sense! We found a way to relax my wrists and also I learned to accept and respect my limitations.
So my next recording will be something less stressful for my hands.

A new school year started and I’m happy that my guitar students returned from their summer holidays full of inspiration. One of my students had “Adelita” on his wish list for this year. This is the best part of teaching: I hope I can inspire my students but they also inspire me to keep playing and recording!

It’s May, but the weather doesn’t look like spring. 🌧💨🌧
Maybe I can challenge spring by recording Vivaldi’s Winter?

It’s the first week of Advent, I thought I put you already in the mood for Christmas with this recording of “Stille Nacht” (Silent Night). Luna seems to like it. 🐾😴
I was actually warming up for recording “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”, but then Luna was so cute that I couldn’t resist publishing on youtube.

This piece is made for my Taylor, or the other way around. 😊 💕
A little bit of quietness in turbulent times. 🌹

I found time to record another Christmas Carol with Luna 🐾 :

Merry Christmas everybody! 🎄

We have a new family member: Luna 🐾🐶
She makes our new home even more cosy, bringing warmth and happiness in these dark days before Christmas. 🌙🎄
