This is my first ever poster. Kind of excited about this one, I should get it framed.

Also, I just like to say that Grinnell has a beautiful campus and a really great hall. Probably the best place I’ve played in so far. They did do a video recording of me which they’ll sync up with the hall’s sound recording. Hopefully there will be some good youtube videos from that!

JS Bach: Sarabande, BWV 995

From an earlier recording. But this is with facebook video. Seems like the sound quality is much better.

JS Bach: Lute Suite in a minor, BWV 995

JS Bach: Lute Suite in a-mi (orig. c-mi), BWV 995 (Christopher Davis, guitar) from Christopher Davis on Vimeo.

Recorded today as a practice run, “performing.” I’ll say this: it’s definitely different playing for a camera vs. playing for nothing. There are a few flubs. Overall I’m happy with the tempos and interpretation, I just wish the entire thing was cleaner. About three weeks until concerts, however, so it should be in good shape by then!

Thames Guitar Comparison

  • February 17, 2010 12:05 pm

Three Thames guitars, one piece and one player. Trying to see how different each guitar is.

Guitar one: 2009 Cedar/Indian rosewood
Guitar two: 2007 Cedar/Brazilian rosewood
Guitar three: 2010 Double top (spruce outside, cedar inside)/Brazilian rosewood

All have the same treble strings, Galli Carbons, but different basses.
