steve katsos show round 2
hiya guys,
i'm going to perform with my group on the steve katsos show again. remember the funny greek guy? it's going to be a benefit show for the jimmy fund.
our dancer has an injured knee and we have a 5 minute limit (there's other acts as well) so we have to do a smaller scale version of whatever we're going to do but if you're curious....

ok, so here's the little piece that we did.
i thought i got over stage fright but i was pretty nervous that night. it wasn't playing in front of people that made me nervous but it was knowing that i was being recorded.
i tried to dig in too hard and got my nails stuck in the picados and i dazed out and played a B minor by accident at the end. woops!
ok, enough with the excuses. let me know what you guys think!

Sounded good to me. Your part stood out and your rasgueados were REALLY fluid!
Maybe you can work on the anxiety you experienced by recording yourself at home. Considering how well you did chances are you'll become more comfortable with this type of situation over time. Good job, Anthony!
RE: video for steve katsos show round 2 (in reply to at_leo_87)
Anthony, You are being too hard on yourself. It was a great performance and remember, nobody in that audience noticed that you went to a B minor. I've been in the same position after a show thinking, I missed the rasg on that last chord change or I missed a note or two during a falsetta. Listen, its art not science so just enjoy the moment and remember, you're doing what 90% in that audience wished they could do! Sig--

great idea! with all the stagehands, cameramen, and grouchy sound technicians, and everything else there, it felt really "official" and i felt i had to play perfect. ironically, that made me play not as well because i got nervous. i'll definitely start recording myself more.

Nice Anthony,
Your new guitar sounds cool. Nice job at keeping the tempo down and nice choice of chords. It's tough accompanying dance without cante but you did well to keep it interesting. Ole!
