Acoustic solo guitar pieces now on YouTube


Well there are a few "Mick Cooper"s out there but the one you want can be found if you search for:
Mick Cooper Acoustic
or go to these links:
There are ten of my solo guitar pieces, shortened to save my shoulder injury, plus one from the archives - a 1978 recording (fish-eye lens CCTV cam) of me playing Scott Joplin's Sycamore Rag. This is there to prove that I used to be able to play without quite so many mistakes. I've put these pieces up there in the hope that someone who can play them properly will be able to take them on. The guitar was DI'd to cut background noise. So the real full length acoustic versions are best heard on soundcloud.
