Interesting. Clever arrangement, though I prefer it with the orchestra.

Remi is awesome though, something of a renegade in the CG community. He has a whole bag of non conventional techniques - check out that thumb tremolo at the end, for example. I've heard he sometimes uses a pick too - glued to one of his fingers or something bizarre.

I posted this video to reaffirm my stand that the guitar, despite it's softer volume and smaller range, is the most complete acoustic instrument. Look at the texture, orchestration, tone colours and wide variety of techniques to produce different effects. The nylon guitar easily has more capabilities and colours as compared to any other instrument I've seen. But that's only if you're good at it..

Another reason is that I find the arrangement very creative and it could be so much fuller if another Remi Baucher was there to accompany him!
