Our First Dance
Просмотров 26011 месяцев назад
A very unusual first dance in a Scottish wedding. Not to mention very misleading in terms of what we were wearing. But we had a blast celebrating our wedding ceremony in Achray House in Crieff.

A review of the Behringer unit. Straight into my sound card and into Cubase with only a touch of reverb added. Sorry, my strings were pretty old.

Just needed to jam a little during these lockdown days. Sorry for all the faces. Purely unintentional!

An arrangement for violin and guitar of this amazing piece by Astor Piazzolla. Recorded during the lockdown.
Estudio 2 in C by Fernando Sor Op.35 No.13

This was literally the first piece for classical guitar I ever learned and it took me ages to get it right. Its not a difficult piece I find, but its one close to my heart as it was the first one. Fernando Sor was such an incredible composer for guitar. Not a lot of people can write for Classical Guitar and make it sound as natural and easy to play as he he could.

This is one of the first pieces I learned on the classical guitar back when I was studying in the conservatoire. I hadn't had much time to practice in years, but the Corona virus lockdown gave me lots of time to practice. So, like a caged bird, I sing!

Primo de mi vida saludos de tu primo Edgardo excelente
Loved playing this karel ❤
Great work guys sounds real good ❤
Good pedal for what it is, but on a solid state amp quickly becomes unusable when you really crank the settings. Tubes clean up the short comings, so for some people's rigs, they're a poorman's savior.
I agree. I didn't like the sound so much on the amp. But I keep it in the car in case my amp dies. I ended up using it when a friends amp died on stage and nothing to be found at midnight. That really saved the day!
@@karelkalaf1 the downside to their low end/priced pedals is the pots tend to go in and out from sitting, you don't even have to use the things. My background is actually electrical/electronics engineering, and I tried reflowing the solder joints and cleaning them with contact cleaner, but they're still all wonky. I will attempt to repair it again because it's still a fairly useful pedal in an emergency and it works well with solid-state amps dirty channels too, and that that can be difficult to find. I still have the Behringer distortion modeler that does the RAT, the DS1 and the D+ models, but it's pots did the same thing just from sitting around unused. The bottom line is for $30, home use and knowing to take a bit better care of them, they probably never would have gone but they have floated around in junk drawers at times. *Fortunately, I can just design better circuits from scratch at this point and it's what I'm currently doing.* I will have my own preamp/power amp built soon and I won't have to rely on tubes anymore. Solid-State actually does it better, but next to no manufacturer seems to hire properly educated people in their companies that can actually do it right! *It's not exactly hard either and the answers are in plain sight assuming you are college educated and a fairly skilled guitarist.*
As a student of Sensei Antonio Pereira over 50 years ago, I can appreciate this post. I'm glad to see MI Yama Ryu still continues. I'm 74 years young as of this comment.
Hello Ray. Nice to see other practitioners of the style. I take it you live in the US and studied under Shihan Pereira?
Good work! What song is at 9:30?
Hey sir - how are you? What’s the title of that one song that has “French” phrase in it. You sang it twice here. Great video and great show.
@@vivian9721 haha!
love this !!
Скажите, пожалуйста ЛУПЕР есть в ней?
Это не лупер. Просто симуляция гитарного усилителя, мой друг
@@karelkalaf1 спасибо 👍🏻
Sounds great, dude! It’s awesome to see folks out there doing it!
Very good stuff. Do you have a gear run down?
Thanks LetET. Its a Moon Bryan Adams guitar going into a Ditto X4 basically. I Use a cheap eq pedal as a boost for volume in solos and sometimes I use the boss OC3 for some low notes. It all went into a Yamaha Stage Pass 400. Thanks for asking!
Good stuff. Did you use a loop pedal or backing tracks? I want to start playing out so I ran into your Vid
Hey Dan. Yes, I used a looper pedal. That's pretty much it, although I do use a boost for volume and an octaver for the low notes sometimes. Does that help? Cheers!
@@karelkalaf1 OK cool I have a loop pedal and it is fun to use. No octaver. I have a non-electric acoustic and a Floyd rose style electric guitar
@@danfinney1 Pretty much any guitar you can run into a looper will work. Anything else is just a nice extra to have. That should do the trick!
Great playing/singing for a pub gig. If one is looking for an attentive audience, that’s not often going to be a pub gig. Look at it like getting paid to practice, with an occasional appreciative audience member, and you’re good.
Good musician & performer - not much of a conversationalist - although it looks like he has the patience of Jobe, not much of an appreciative audience! Kind of regarded much similar to a Jukebox! That is the music business for you! This must be a Canadian Pub?
You have a new subscriber. 😊
Excellent. Really enjoyed it. I know how hard it is to gig in a noisy environment. You did well. Blackbird certainly quietened them down 😀
You're great man. Pub audiences are frickin hideous. I do something similar and in the old days the rock bands I was in would power over the conversation but now we get swallowed up by the racket of drunks
It’s a place where people go to drink and hang out. Music sets an atmosphere in a place like that. It’s not so much a listening room environment. This has to be understood in order to have fun playing these kinds of gigs. It’s a little silly to expect everyone’s undivided attention in a place like that.
Enjoyed that mate! What gear do you run the guitar through? Really like the sound

voice is just generic. Get an electronic device to add another third or a fifth to your voice. Your guitar playing is good and i find nothing wrong with that. how ever your vocals are redundant and i grow tired very soon listened to that.
Wow, then perhaps you could post some videos of yourself demonstrating non-generic vocals, just for reference of course. I mean obviously you must perform out on a regular basis, right ? Perhaps you could critique some of the stuff on my channel that has both covers and live performances. ruclips.net/user/clouseau62n
Typical of pub performers, the guitar dominates. It‘s like the vocals are an afterthought with zero passion/expression. Also, why acoustic? They all sound thin and buzzy due to the godawful piezos. I prefer my solid body Variax JTV-59 with emulations and alternate tunings by footswitch.
Recording mic wouldn’t be picking the vocals very well dude. Hence why the guitar would come out louder to it 🙂
I think thats great stuff. I'm getting up the nerve to do an open mic
Go for it man. All the best :)
Great performance
Is that guy wearing a hat or is that his hair?
I'm pretty sure it's just his hair
Brilliant Karel Kalaf x
yeahhjjjj babyy j¡¡¡ sube mas¡ 🤘🤘🤘
Very cool, black man!
Bravo, great gig!
Very helpful! Thinking about buying one. Subscribed! You are welcome to stick your head in to my meagre channel 🍀 Cheers mate
can a tech21 liverpool be plugged into? can it be plugged into a "clean" physical amplifier?
I don't have one but I guess that all those products are made to both go into an amp or direct into the desk. My suggestion would be to just try it either way and see. The Behringer has some sounds and settings that I like and some that I find don't work for me. Experiment!!!!
Great for bass/guitar PC recording. Haven't tried it live yet but will. I'd Love to leave the amp at home.
I mainly use it as a secondary option but it has come through every time bud.
Sounds great , can i ask . Could you run this with this order . Guitar , pedal board , GDI 21 then split into amp and run off to mixing desk (P A) this I assume would mean you don’t have to mic up the amp when playing live ?
Good question. The truth is I have no idea how good it would sound, but I guess it all depends on what you put in front of it I'm sure there are pedals that would work like say, off the top of my head, a tube screamer; there ain't nothing that pedal don't make sound better. At the moment I have the unit in the trunk of my car as a back up if I ever loose my amp or pedals. I'm guessing that if my pedal board breaks down or gets lost or stolen then I can limp through the gig with it as a distortion pedal. And if my amp breaks down I can finish the gig with an amp simulator set to crunch and just control how clean or distorted my guitar sounds by using the volume and tone controls whilst using the reverb from the desk.
Hey bud. You know, about two or three days after you posted this question I had to do a gig with another guitarist, but the venue only had one amp. Big pickle! With only 20 minutes before we had to go onstage there was no time to get an amp, so I went to the my car and got this unit, which I keep precisely there for this sort of situation. We ran it straight to desk with a distortion pedal in front of it and you know what. It sounded pretty much like an amp. All we needed was to have it in the monitors and voila!
Sounds really good. Many thanks for the review.
Thanks Robin. Next one will be more thorough!
A cubetazo en el patio, like the old days
Who is jealous?
Lovely ❤️
Great video! I ordered up one of these for my guitar player in case his amp ever goes down on stage!
Incredible review!!
the unit sounds good but now I'm afraid of tigers...
Great review pal!
Nice review!
Thanks bud!
Wicked!
Very nice demo Karel
Sounds pretty good!!!! For £20 !!! Pretty cool!! Nice tones
I'm surprised how good some of the cheap stuff sounds sometimes!
