Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Ariel Elijovich An idea from my former teacher, hard not to do once you've heard it! A bit harder with these new strings, I'm used to lower tension, then easier to do!

@Marc Adler Great Marc, this is another beautiful one (with #5) with tricky rhythms and accents that make this music so fun to play!

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages with Martin
@Steve Price You're right, it's hard to get the right balance for customer support, and here we kind of have two different products with different expectations, the «App» and the «Community».

Hey Tonebuddies, here's a quick take of Estudio #5 for sharing technical and interpretation ideas! Forgive the rough edges and missing notes, I need to polish it more and I'm running out of time,…

@Barney I was joking... Martin is normally very pro-active and answers quickly, so I suspect he was more than busy lately... but for the admin/team account I still wait for an answer to a question I…

@Marc Adler There's this kit, a bit expensive but it works great, and I found alternatives on Amazon that works similarly at a lesser cost. It's worth a try, who knows!

@Barney I think it means to repeat as we see fit, if it was just once he would have just wrote it as standard notation IMHO.
