@Wai Fantastic job Wai! It's nice to hear a little different interpretation than what I'm used to, and I think just about anything Sanz wrote can be considered a dance!

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles
@Jack Stewart I agree with @don - it doesn't look easy at all. Anytime you get a bunch of block chords together like that, you're just asking for trouble! At least I am anyway!
Really nice job,…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles
@Jack Stewart Geez Jack, you'd think without nails you'd attempt a very simple piece, but no. You have to take on a beast of song like this, and yet make it sound so fun! And, yes,…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations
¡Hola todos! I am loving this challenge, and I plan to participate, but I have been (somewhat frantically) preparing for my trip this weekend. I am going to be attending the Los Angles Guitar…

Re: When is your favorite time of day to Practice?
Man, if there's anything this thread has taught me it's to not take my time for granted! It's so impressive to see how many here don't have much time, but make it happen anyway - and make it count!…

@Eric Phillips yeah, but wouldn't it be worth at least asking one year - just to see what happens?

Re: Week 4: Harmonic Heights
@Dale Needles So very cool! One last question I'll ask here - do you speak Spanish? How important is it for someone to be able to speak Spanish doing that kind of trip?

Re: Week 4: Harmonic Heights
@Dale Needles Ooh! That looks amazing! Reminds me of the Alhambra. I have not been to Cadiz...yet. I'd love to go. Last year I went on a guided tour to Spain for the first time.…
