I am not sure if I posted in the correct section but wanted to share a video of me playing a Venezuelan piece called "Galeron" by Vicente Sojo. I am using a bulerias backing track which sort of works.
RE: "Galeron" by Vicente Sojo (in reply to aleksi)
Thank you Aleski. @Nenadk, I am playing the last piece of a five piece set. The others are:"Cantico- "Aguinaldo- "Cancion"- "Aire venezolano". This one (Galeron) happens to be my favorite. Thanks Romerito for your generous comment.

Man, you need some sheet music on the desk in front of you.
Ramzi, there is nothing wrong with having sheet music in front of you. I remember watching a few well known classical players reading off the score in performances. Now Flamenco is a different beast.
I am still working on getting the best possible sound from my camera mic. I have to admit that I am sometimes too lazy.

I know man. I'm just teasing. Many are afraid of sheet music, and that is why I made that other comment that having sheet music in front of you makes you look like a pro.
About the camera mic - it's easy. Just turn it way down (all the way down to at least 20%). Better to have the viewer have to raise the volume a bit and hear clean sound rather than NOT have to raise the volume and get distorted basses.
