Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Steve Price perhaps, I'm good at hiding tension lol! But seriously, it's because of friends like you who are supportive and encouraging that makes it a lot easier. So, thank you 🙏

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Blaise Laflamme You're one of the best guitarists and very knowledgeable and informed musicians in the community, Blaise. I'll take solace in the fact that even the best ones can have difficulties…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Blaise Laflamme Thank you, Blaise. I do have the camera syndrome. I become too conscious of myself. I usually have to make several recordings before one is usable.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Ariel Elijovich Thank you for the feedback and thoughtful advice, Ariel. I'm often an impatient and not a detail-oriented guy, something that's not good for a classical guitarist.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Steve Price Thank you, Steve. Yeah, losing files is infuriating and frustrating after having done all the hard work of playing the piece, lol.

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
Hi, everybody! Last minute submission as I was feeling a bit of FOMO lol. Not the best sound quality. I wanted to upload the 1st etude as well. Unfortunately, while editing in Da Vinci,…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Blaise Laflamme @Marc Adler I suffer from the camera syndrome too! The very thought of recording myself gives me stage fright and then, when I actually start recording,…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
So far, I've learned 1,2,3,4 and 6 and the opening bars of 5. The studies are absolutely fantastic, easier than the Villa Lobos etudes, obviously. My favourites are 2, 4 and 6.…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@Blaise Laflamme Thank you very much, Blaise. This definitely helps. Much of theory still goes over my head, but you've provided me enough insights to pore over and explore more,…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@Blaise Laflamme Thank you the reply, Blaise. So, for the first 5 bars, it's a i-ii-i progression without the major tension that's associated with progressions like I-V-I that are much more common…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
Not related to the topic, but I'm posting a few bars of La Catedral, the preludio. With my rudimentary knowledge of music theory, I've dared to learn a bit of score analysis to inform my playing…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@Neil Macmillan I second that, Neil. In fact, it'd be great to tackle all the etudes and preludes of Villa Lobos, one at a time. It might take a few lifetimes though😄.

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages with Martin
I suppose you're going to address the specific issues posed by the members. I have a general question that might be applicable to many guitarists, or at least to myself- how much of being able to be…

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages with Martin
@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary @martin, Also, can you give some advice on how to play the B section of prelude in C minor by Barrios. My fingers really tire by the time I finish the A section due to the…

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages with Martin
Ah, there are so many, Martin. Let me start with the B section of Un Dia de Noviembre. I'm trying to get it technically correct, but I'm not sure about the shift from measure 33 to 34 where you have…

@Derek Thank you Derek! Yeah, let's keep it going. I'm aiming to post at least another update in the next week or so. I'd been trying the first 10 bars or so for a while,…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
Hi everyone, I've tried to play through the entire piece albeit a few missed notes and some clumsy transitions. I was inspired (or tried to copy :) by Riccardo Gallen's rendition of this piece in the…

Re: What is your favorite guitar practice hack?
I'll start by saying what I need to get rid of- often I'm not laser focused and impatient with my progress. It can happen perhaps because you really want to play the final piece in your wishlist.…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@martin I was talking of the 4th string, the bass notes (I play the Bb with the pinky and the G with the 1st finger, suits my hand better). Apologies for the unsynced video and bad quality (i need to…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@martin I'm also using the same fingering ( with the pinky) in the first chord. However, in the 2nd chord, I use the pinky for the A# and the 1st finger for the G.…

@Eric Phillips That's so beautiful, Eric. I could really feel the gloomy melancholic nature of this prelude, in a beautiful way. About the rest, well, if we're being very pedantic,…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@Blaise Laflamme Watching him play it in the original key of Cmin made the Dmin feel an inferiority complex 😀. Cmin is so much more sombre and moody and much more suited to the piece, I think.…
