Welcome to the Owlypixel's guitar escape!

When I was in high school, I was obsessed with guitar. During those times I took some classic guitar classes, and to measure my progress recorded myself with my old tape recorder. Due to the fact that old analog tape is not a very reliable medium, I decided to digitize my old recordings.

So, without further ado, let me take you on a journey to a land of old memories, constantly hurting fingers, jolly improvisation, strict discipline and remarkable power of music.🎼

• 3 Guitars

  Csárdás (Monti)
  This one is a collaborative effort of 3 high scholl rascals. Probably the most complex composition from the whole collection. It was a good concert-opener in most shows that we played live.

  Popurri 2
  This piece is an intense combination of spanish rhythms with pop songs and who knows what else. The insane picking havoc ensues at 1:31, when players unleash their hidden shred powers onto the listeners ears.

  Gary Moore - The Loner

  Ritchie Blackmore - Maybe Next Time
  Listen to those bends. Ha-ha, they're all wrong. That's because it was absolutely impossible to bend those old nylon strings. 😂

  Bach - Gigue
  Graceful composition from Baroque era noblemen. Sometime in the past people actually dance to this.

  This is a great etude by Aguado, or maybe not. I don't really know for sure.

  George Gershwin - Summertime
  A classic jazz standard that nobody needs to know about (joking of course). Gosh, I'm so sleepy on this one.

  Porgy and Bess
  The Robbers Song
  The song has this soviet-gangsta-robbers vibe. A vigorous dance of the outcasts.

  Sergei Esenin - Maple
  Beautiful lyrical composition that has been composed by one of Russian composers, and it's based on the poem of Russian poet Sergei Esenin.

  From the movie "Funny dudes" - Too Many Good Girls
  Sweet cheezy lyrical romance. And it's true, you know. There are a lot of good girls.

  Joe Dassin - L'ete Indien
  Best way to improve your French skills is to sing along this tune. And thankfully French music never lets me down!

  Who knows this movie? "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer" right?

  P.Mayboroda - Kyiv Waltz
  I can't stand hearing one more note of this melody. Once South Railways took it as their go-to train departure song, it was galvanized in our heads day in, day out.

  What is it about this classical guitar tune that makes everyone so sleepy? I remember once while learning this piece I noticed that my teacher was half asleep. 😴

  When I was utterly bored with classic my teacher suggested me to learn this one. He definitely knew how to raise new devoted Metallica addicts.
