Re: Week 4: The Grand Finale
@Blaise Laflamme Thank you very much Blaise. Yeah, you got me there on the chord change

Re: Week 4: The Grand Finale
@Barney Thank you very much Barney. Yeah, you're absolutely right about the physical strain of Barres on the LH. I did try to play through several times and felt strain in my LH thumb pad.…

Re: Week 4: The Grand Finale

Re: Week 4: The Grand Finale
@Eric Phillips wow Eric, what a monumental feat to be able to play such a long piece and so beautifully. It'd take me months to get past 3 minutes of that piece with some sort of competence.

@Michael Shirk
Beautifully played. I'm really curious about Molly Gebrien. I gather she's a neuroscientist. Would be curious to know her thoughts.

@Eric Phillips Thank you Eric. Well I use to strum a few chords every now and then in my 20s. But I picked up the classical guitar just last year. I'm still kind of not sure about my technical level…

Re: Happy Birthday, Agustín Barrios!
Barrios is turning out to be my favourite, displacing Tarrega from the top of my list. So, my favourites are Julia Florida La Cathedral by Thomas Viloteau Prelude in C minor
