Re: Week 1 - Make It Sing 🎶
When I saw this challenge posted, I honestly was not too excited about it. I love Lagrima, but it's a piece I have played for a long time and have committed to memory.…

Re: Week 4 - D Major and the Ending
@David Trevors Yes, it's Japanese, with a Spanish-sounding name. I love your website, but a new guitar is just not in the cards for me right now. The Steve Ganz would be my choice if I could.

Re: Week 4 - D Major and the Ending
@David Trevors Thanks! I play a Hernandis model 1a built in 1973. I got it used around 1990.

Re: Week 4 - D Major and the Ending
I hope nobody minds, but I am posting another piece. I have been working on this and Capricho Arabe during this challenge. Since I already play Capricho Arabe,…

Re: Week 4 - D Major and the Ending
Here is the whole thing. There are several flubs, but I wanted to do a first take from beginning to end.

Re: Week 4 - D Major and the Ending
@JUAN ALONSO Good work, Juan! It's getting there. There is one strange phrasing you do several times that does not work too well in my opinion. It occurs the first time at 0:12.…

Re: Week 4 - D Major and the Ending
@Jack Stewart As always, you are exaggerating your shortcomings. I think this is very good, Jack. It may not be at a performance level just yet, but it's pretty close. Great work!

Re: 🧗 The piece just out of reach
One that comes to mind for me is Sor’s Variations on a Theme of Mozart. I love Sor so much, but the last variation and coda of this beloved piece are simply beyond me.…

Re: Week 3 - Into F Major and Turning Up the Heat
@Jack Stewart It's hard to beat David Russell! I also really enjoy Marcin Dylla's and Jan Depreter's performances on YT, both at Siccas. Jan's facial expressions are particularly priceless.

Sections 5 and 6 This is the first time in the piece where Martin's fingerings are significantly different than mine. The first video below is with the fingerings I have been using for years.…

Re: Week 2 - Arpeggios, Slurs, and the Theme Returns
@Michael Shirk Thank you, Michael, but I actually have no score here in front of me. This is a piece I’ve played from memory for a few years now.

Re: Week 2 - Arpeggios, Slurs, and the Theme Returns
Sections 3 and 4 (measures 19-34) Sept 11 I cannot say that I watched any steps of the Track more than any others. I watched the track to check out Martin's fingering choices to see if I want to…

Re: Week 1 - Harmonics and the Main Theme
@Spare Machine Well, I use a pull-off (slur) from 3 to 1 there, so I have no problem with it. Strangely, when the figure repeats later in the piece (after an ascending run) I find myself using 4 to 1…

@Steve Price Excellent, Steve! Your lines have a very natural sense of phrasing and direction. The decision about use of glissandi and portamenti I think boils down to personal taste.…
