Re: Week 1 - Harmonics and the Main Theme
@Steve Price My slurs are really bad, Steve, and I haven't played pieces with extensive use of slurs. That said, I need to work on them more. Your first attempt at this piece was very impressive btw.…

Re: Week 1 - Harmonics and the Main Theme
@Steve Price That's excellent work, Steve, great tone and the music flowed very smoothly. After hearing you and Eric play, I'm itching to learn at least the first few bars 😃.

Re: Week 1 - Harmonics and the Main Theme
@Eric Phillips Excellent start, Eric. I've never learnt this piece myself, although I've listened to the numerous recordings out there.. I think I'll be more like an observer/student for this…

@Eric Phillips beautiful performance, Eric. To produce such quantity and most importantly, great quality is mind blowing. I especially loved the bass line in the middle part with the beautiful…

Re: 👩‍🏫 A teacher, or on your own?
Hmm, very interesting responses. Ideally, I'd love to have a teacher in person, inches away from me, observing every bodily movement I make. Unfortunately, there aren't any to be found where I'm from.…

Re: What do you think is the biggest obstacle to performing at your best, beyond the musical or technical aspects?
@Jacopo Hmm, what I meant was probably that physiological response is the most outward and consequential effect. However, physiological and mental responses arise and reinforce each other…

Re: What do you think is the biggest obstacle to performing at your best, beyond the musical or technical aspects?
@Jacopo First, the physiological response kicks in- breathing becomes shallower and heavier, muscles get tenser and fingers shake a bit. Mentally, and perhaps on a subconscious level I often think of…

Re: What do you think is the biggest obstacle to performing at your best, beyond the musical or technical aspects?
I echo Shrinath's sentiments. I also get nervous even if it's a recording. Sometimes, my memory goes blank or starts to wander, especially if I'm playing in an open mic.…

Re: 🏁 When is a piece actually "finished"?
Interesting questions! For my own playing, I call a piece I'm working on 'good enough' or 'done for now' when I achieve a satisfactory technical and musical level.…

Re: 🎼 Bach on guitar — where do you stand?
@martin there's always something new and more to learn, Martin. I'll watch that track to get more insights and ideas for that piece.

Re: Week 6: Rise of the Maestro
@Lars Kjøller-Hansen @Barney @Debbie Very interesting discussion on scales. When I started out as a beginner about 3 years back, I didn't practice much scales and thought arpeggios would be enough.…

Re: Week 6: Rise of the Maestro
@Steve Price I enjoyed the movements, especially the second part, nice arpeggios. I'm assuming it's some ode to the poet, Pablo Neruda.

final submission? Erm, I tried my best, although, there's always a lot to work on, a few squeaks, some difficult transitions and a struggle to maintain legato of the melody at certain points.…

Re: Week 6: Rise of the Maestro
@Jack Stewart Great work, Jack! Wow so many things going on in that prelude, especially the trills which you really played well. The only Bach I've dared to touch so far is bwv 999.
