Me, Playing the Guitar
Here's an old video of me playing the guitar in a recital at the 1994 Christopher Parkening masterclass, at Montana State University.
I'm playing my 1967 Ramirez guitar; the maker in Ramirez's shop was Mariano Tezanos, or "MT." It's a very good guitar; Chris himself has played a 67 MT.

Wow! I wish I could still play like that (kidding!). That was obviously when you had time to practice. Alot! Very nicely done. Is there anything you don't do well?

Brilliant. Huge, beautiful sound -- even through the data compression. Really great.
Thanks, y'all! Glad you liked it.
My more critical notes when I view the clip:
40 seconds -- I muff the chords a bit.
Nice melody note at 47.
52, 54, 56, 59.
1:31 -- I muff the chords again.
Nice melody at 1:44 and following.
2:10: I muff the harmony chords a bit.
The passage at 2:40 is extremely fast, and it's pretty darn good for a live performance.
Still: Muffed a bit at 2:56
Muffed a bit at 2:58.
At 3:05 to 3:10, the bass line practically disappeared.
The passage at 3:36 to 3:46 is extremely hard, but I pretty much nailed it.
Nice bass line at 3:51-52.
At 52, 54, 56, 59, I think I was going to say that I made the notes buzz a little too much. That's common throughout the piece. If I were recording, I'd have to clean up a lot of things.
