@Dale Needles Hey Dale! Very cool repertoire. I see you're using the up and down the neck method, which is great. I would also try mixing in some LH alone practice,…

Re: Week 2: Technique work that shines in your pieces 🌻
@don Hey Don, good idea, I will make that happen for next week. For this week, the books I referenced were Ricardo Iznaola's Kitharalogus and Abel Carlevaro's Serie Didactica.

Re: Week 1: How to practice when there's no time ⏲
@Jack Stewart So rather than think of it as 25'+3', think of it as 25' worth of 3' sections. I assume that in each piece you have more than 1 section that needs work,…
