I for one appreciate high contract, especially on an instrument not known for dynamic range. I believe this is probably the right way to do a fandango, a la plancha, rather that a souffle.

    Hello all,
        I've posted a new video of a live performance of me playing
    Santiago de Murcia's "Fandango" on baroque guitar. I've incorporated
some improvisation into the piece. This represents the first time I've been able to muster up the courage to do it in front of other people.
    Your thoughts are most welcome.

Well I very much enjoyed it (and, of course, I respect your skill and musicianship).

You asked for some thoughts.. and no one has responded yet. I just thought that the strumming (were those the improvised bits?) seemed a notch too much more intense than the surroundings. E.g.: the opening very staccato strums seemed more edgy and nervy than the passages that immediately follow.

But great playing and maybe this music needs to be intensified a bit....?
