@don Very nice, Don. #3 is a difficult one for me, as I'm always unsure about the evenness in sound between I and M.

@Ron Yeah, that lesson is really good. He breaks down everything in detail with the fingerings, dynamics and musical aspects.

@Ariel Elijovich Thanks for the feedback, Ariel. Yeah, that protruding wrist has been a problem with me. Most of my problem is with my LH, especially things like coordination with the RH,…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
Last second submission of No.1 etude. Sorry for the clumsy editing at the start of the video. Still a work in progress. I don't know if I was able to bring out the dynamic contrasts.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Jane Anderson Very well played, Jane. I especially liked the arpeggio part and that decrescendo you did towards the end of that phrase was really beautiful. Very resonant and beautiful harmonies.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Marc Adler Yeah, as Barney said, the zoom sessions are much more interactive and we should continue this into the future. We had a couple of them recently on the Bach BWV 999 in case you missed…

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.…

@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!
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…
