Re: Week 2: Technique Tango! @David Krupka Thanks David, yes, I've started to give more attention to the free stroke idea. It's amazing what happens when I start paying attention to those little details!

Re: Week 2: Technique Tango! @Eric Phillips Yeah, Recuerdos. It's funny how good I seem to be at the first half of that piece, because like you said, you get that far and then get tired of going any further!…

Re: Week 1: Etude Entrée! @Eric Phillips Seems like Garcia de Leon was the perfect predecessor/warm up to this piece! I've never attempted this one, so I don't have any specific words of advice,…

Re: Week 1: Etude Entrée! @Michael Shirk great pieces Michael, and really good idea to focus on decreasing tension. I think one of the potential pitfalls for me with these monthly challenges is to try to do too much too fast.…

Re: Week 1: Etude Entrée! @Fernando Ruiz Diaz that makes sense to not worry about getting the first finger down right away for that E major chord. Cool, you've inspired me to give this one another chance!
