Re: LAST WEEK: Over the Horizon! @Barney Thanks Barney, and good point about my playing close to the bridge, definitely a tendency of mine both out of habit and taste. I will definitely explore playing more over the sound hole as…

Re: LAST WEEK: Over the Horizon! @Eric Phillips Excellent, Eric. Definitely agree with Barney that your nail-less sound is coming along nicely, maybe the best yet of your nail-less postings.

Re: Week 5: Onward and Upward! @Eric Phillips The Gol-e-Gadome sounds great without nails, not so sure about the Brouwer Etude. I think it needs more color variations which seems hard to do without nails.

Re: Week 5: Onward and Upward! @Jack Stewart These are coming along very nicely. They both grow on you the more you listen to them, the beauty of Ravel's impressionistic tonal pallet and the haunting and dark dissonance of…

Re: Week 4: Celebrating Global Connections @Jack Stewart I love the harmonic dissonance of this piece. Simple but complex, lyrical and dissonant. Nicely played and no obvious sign of your injured finger.

Re: Week 4: Celebrating Global Connections @Andre Bernier @Marilyn Blodget Thanks for listening. Still needs some work but coming along. It is also a piece that takes some time to warm up to it but once you do,…

Re: Week 4: Celebrating Global Connections @Eric Phillips I agree your nail sound is nicer but you are early in this journey so I am sure your nailess sound will only get better and already sounds pretty good.

Re: Week 4: Celebrating Global Connections @Jack Stewart @Spare Machine @Eric Phillips Thanks for the comments. This is definitely a challenging Estudio, in a way the most difficult of the three Estudios of Carlevaro's that I have worked on.…

Re: Week 4: Celebrating Global Connections @Sam Greenblatt Very nicely played. I had not heard this Tango played before but really enjoyed it. I am not aware of a Tango #1 but since there is a #2, there must a #1.…

Re: Carlevaro - Compositions @Wai So glad you went to the source in Carlevaro's "School of Guitar" book. You are correct that normally ascending slurs use "a percussive stroke of the finger, free of rigidity and without fixation.…
