Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" @Dale Needles very impressive, it looks like a very difficult piece and you made it looked so easy, very clean and precise. I can hardly hear any squeak at all. What a great study.

Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" @Marilyn Blodget beautiful! Beautiful tone as usual. Sometimes it is worthwhile to pull out old favorites as during practice we might forgot why we fell in love with the piece in the first place and…

Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" @Blaise Laflamme Thanks! It does sounded very cut, I tried to do the loud, medium and soft for every 3 beats to give the illusion of legato but somehow didn't manage to pull it off.…

Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" @Dale Needles Thanks Dale. You are right about needing time to develop. During my lesson, my teacher was explaining the details about this piece and there quite a lot of subtle complexities once you…

Re: "Easy Pieces" Mini Challenge @Blaise Laflamme they are both beautiful sounding guitars. I prefer the cedar just a bit more. Great playing!

Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" @Jack Stewart I love the commercial challenge. Think there are a couple, Gran Vals comes to mind with Nokia and some Romanian fried chicken. Anyhow this is really sounding very good and you have it…

Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" @Steve Pederson really well done! It is already sounding very good. Fluidity is just a matter of time. It is very long and crazy hard piece and to get it to this in matter of weeks is amazing.

Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" HVL Prelude no 5 Final submission Trying to play it slower especially in Section A. The thing I realize is I'm bound to make a mistake somewhere so I decided to enjoy and live with it.

Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" HVL Prelude no 5 Was practicing it in 4 different sections. Rather than posting 4 videos, I stitched them up. This is the first time for this piece that I got a youtube copyright,…

Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" @Steve Pederson thanks! This is a really interesting piece the more I delve into it. John Williams has a version out there where he played it really fast and I can imagine Villa-Lobos play it that…

Re: Week 4: "Samba Strings Showcase" @Jack Stewart not just the microphone, the camera as well. I cannot imagine the stress those concert players have when facing real audiences.

Re: If you could master the technique of any guitarist, living or dead, who would it be and why? So hard to choose man. From my limited exposure, I will pick 1. Xuefei Yang - for her imagination and execution on what a guitar can sound like. The sounds and melody she extracted from her guitar in…
