Permalink "BISTRO FADA" for those who like Gypsy music.

New Topic
Page 1 of 1

Hi all,

2 days ago, my wife brought the movie "Midnight In Paris" (excellent movie).
As soon as I heard the theme tune, I said to her "I have to play this lovely tune".
It's called "Bistro Fada" a superb Gypsy composition of Stephane Wrembel.

The sound as usual is not very good and you can hear the frustating buzzing in the upper neck despite
all the plumber tape I put on the bridge to higher the strings.
What you see on the body secured with a drafting tape is the cheap external mic of my camcorder
that I m using as a guitar mic going directly to the MagicStomp echo.
I guess it's responsible for the bright tone.

Here is my take on it (with 2 breaks due to my forgetting the next phrase and due to the tape ending too soon).

Hope you like it,

Abel

That is so wonderful! I love Gypsy stuff, and I am ALWAYS up for a good waltz!!

Glad you liked it,

I regetted to have bought this guitar eventhough the price was great ($399),
It's a CIGANO Series GJ-10 Gypsy Jazz Guitar Natural (student version), and
the neck has a serious problem. From the 12th fret and up, it's practically not playable.
You can clearly hear the buzzing in the video.
For a couple hundreds more I could have gotten a GITANO instead.
When I called MusicianFriends (where I got it from), they said "all you need is a fret job. Great!.

Regards,
Abdel
