Daniel Hake Classical Guitar

This is the thirteenth song on the Watersongs album. It has a jszzy feel, as played on my 1980 Alvarez Professional Series nylon string cutaway guitar. I hope you enjoy the video, as I enjoyed recording it.

This five beat phrase is structured on the nylon string guitar, to emulate a spider weaving its web in the rocks by the pier. Spiders give me the creeps, but that was my thought while playing. Watersongs has decent quality stereo recording as opposed to a typical smartphone video. I do not overdub. It's one stereo track. This is the 2nd of 24 tracks on Watersongs. Enjoy !

These are my favorite pieces. I love Sor and Chopin. Chopin played on guitar is challenging, but possible. I enjoy taking century old church hymns, and transcribing them to classical guitar style pieces. I hope you enjoy them as well. Again, please don't mind the birds, squirrels, wind, and basic forest sounds. They come with the territory. Enjoy!

This little diddle is a Christmas Holiday gift to brighten up the season for us all. The intro is a short Hymm written a century ago, followed by What Child is This (Greensleeves melody). I hope this merrys up your already merry Christmas and New Year.

The Watersongs album is digitally recorded for hi fi. I use an Alvarez Professional Series nylon string cutaway guitar with a pretty good transducer, and a high quality live microphone. I tune the guitar my own way, and write my own songs. The album includes traditional classical pieces as well. The videos are my own. Enjoy!

Outdoor recordings of classical guitar selections. I love Estudio 6. It reminds me of a wind-up music box. This is from Andre's Segovia"s Transcriptions of Fernando Sor, and yes. I am reading the sheet. Enjoy!

This segue includes a Sor piece, Moderato, into Air, by Henry Purcell. These are part of my Outdoor Recordings of the Classical Guitar. I believe that playing a wooden instrument, in the woods, brings out an earthy and organic tone. I imagine Sor, in his backyard, with no engines, airplanes, cell phones, or even trains. Just wind and birds. I'm sure he never imagined he would be on Rumble. Enjoy!

Watersongs is an album. Bigwater Lowdown is track 23 of 24. These pieces are composed by myself (excluding the few classical compositions by well known classical musicians), and performed by myself on my own equipment. The guitar is a 1990's Alvarez Professional Series nylon string cutaway. The videos are my own, selected because they are wonderful aquatic places. To be clear, I stand there with my camera and record these videos. The guitar is one stereo track, no overdubs, no cut and splice. Please enjoy my Outdoor Recordings of the Classical Guitar as well, on this same channel. Enjoy!

The Day's End is the last (24th) track of Watersongs. The in-between 22 tracks are coming. It is enjoyable to locate interesting places of water to accompany the pieces. I will continue with outdoor video recordings, as well as other varieties of guitar music. Enjoy!

Outdoor recordings of classical guitar selections by Daniel Hake. This one is Steve Howe's Mood For a Day. I play my own version after learning the original version from sheet music. Again, please don't mind the birds and squirrels. They come with the territory. Enjoy!

This is a high fidelity recording of the nylon string guitar. Ì performed my original pieces, and some classical pieces. This is track one of twent- four. I intend to continue with the remaining 23, as well as live outdoor recordings with video. I use no overdubs on Watersongs. It's one guitar, one take. Enjoy.

Outdoor recordings of classical guitar selections. These are my favorite songs. This one was arranged by Andre's Segovia in his Transcriptions of Fernando Sor. This guitar is a Fender Gemini II, from the early 1980s. Don't mind the birds and squirrels that make sounds throughout all my outdoor recordings. I am in their living room, after all.

Outdoor recordings of classical guitar selections. Frederick Chopin op. 7 no. 1. Daniel Hake arrangement and performance.

Outdoor recordings of classical guitar selections. This is a full 25 minute set. All selections I arranged and performed, except the Sor pieces, which I play directly from Andre's Segovia"s Transcriptions of Fernando Sor. My recipe is simple. Learn to play the classical guitar, then play outside in the woods. This video is recorded on the smart phone, and is best played back on one. It's not for a big stereo. I will be publishing hi-fi recordings later, on Rumble and Google. These Outdoor recordings are my favorite classical pieces.
