Re: Week 4: Serenade Showcase @Eric Phillips Same here. I'm breathing a huge sigh of relief. Now, I'll say I'm following Carlevaro and Eric's interpretations. Thanks for pointing this out, Dale.

Re: Week 4: Serenade Showcase @Eric Phillips haha, I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't looking at your LH at that section and just listening to the audio. I too have struggled with that section,…

Re: Week 4: Serenade Showcase Excellent Eric. I've tried to play the Prelude No.1, alas not very well. I've struggled with many sections. I'm curious about that section where you have to descend from frets 12,…

Re: Week 3: Harmonious Journeys @Dale Needles This is so great, Dale. Such a complex sounding piece (at least for me) and you played so well. I was noticing how your right hand brings out such great tones and amazing dynamics.

Re: Week 3: Harmonious Journeys @Jack Stewart I heard Gabriel Bianco say that this piece is scary and haunting, like it reminds him of a scary clown. You've played it scarily and beautifully well, Jack! Bravo.

Re: Week 2: Rhythms of Brazil @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. Some great ideas. Yeah, accenting the B on the diminished chords makes a lot of great sense. It seems to bring out the dissonance as I descend back to the Eminor at the…

Re: Week 2: Rhythms of Brazil @Dale Needles Thank you for the suggestions, Dale. I think there's a TB lesson on some of the Carlevaro techniques by Gael Sollal. I'll revisit that lesson and get some tips from there as well.

Re: Week 2: Rhythms of Brazil Hi, everyone, I've finally jumped into the challenge. Fast pieces are really daunting for me, but I took it as a great challenge to face it head-on. I tried to play it as fast as I can.…

Re: Week 2: Rhythms of Brazil @Calin Lupa thank you for this Calin, your melody on the bass is sounding great. Many of HVL's pieces are indeed 'squeak prone'. I myself have faced challenges with squeaks while playing his etude no.…

Re: Week 2: Rhythms of Brazil @Dale Needles wow that was amazing. It really is such an innovative piece. The percussive effect and the dissonant voices in the piece and how you execute them is so great.
