BLACK ORPHEUS

3 mins 58 secs

A July 2004 performance of Black Orpheus on solo nylon string guitar.

Black Orpheus - live - July 2004, Sydney, Australia

Classical dudes might be interested in the 2 string tremelo opening - " violin section effects" - easy to play, but effective. Check out Kazuhito Yamashita who is the master of the multiple-stringed tremolo effect.

Jazz dudes might enjoy the laid back soloing. Fingerstyle dudes might enjoy the .... fingerstyle !! It's a live track so be prepared for audience chatter.
