Here is an early composition by Abel Carlevaro, most likely written in the early 1960s. It is based on the rhythm of the milonga dance, famous in the Rio de la Plata region and is called Milongueando (milongering).

Here is my latest take on Minuet in A minor - Johan Krieger.
Since the last recording I was able to speed up a bit the tempo.
I also bought IRIG audio interface and used it to connect my guitar directly to the phone for the recording. This eliminates all the background noise including metronome. 🎉
I still need to play around with the adjustments of the fishman preamp on the guitar to improve the sound but this is a good start.

Mompou Canción 10A
This is, perhaps, my final on this piece. I've started working on the corresponding dance. I think this version came out pretty well. I keep having little memory glitches but they only registered as pauses - so not too bad. I also noticed my guitar is slightly out of tune - probably from all the takes I have done today.
