Re: WEEK 2: La Guitarra Espanola! Aguado - Lesson 35 One last one by Aguado today. He uses this lesson to introduce the "arrastre" or slide (Google translates it as "drag"). Today, we usually say glissandi and portamenti.…

Re: WEEK 2: La Guitarra Espanola! @Martin That's a piece you haven't played in ten years?! I could work on it for ten years straight and it would not be as beautiful! I like a lot of music by Torroba, but that has to be my favorite.…

Re: WEEK 2: La Guitarra Espanola! @Steve Pederson Nice sound and well played, Steve. It's funny, I think Sanz might have the most videos so far in this challenge. I would not have guessed that when the challenge began.

Re: WEEK 2: La Guitarra Espanola! @joosje Thanks, Joosje. Derek told me about a recording Segovia made of eight of Aguado's lessons. You can find them on YouTube.

Re: WEEK 2: La Guitarra Espanola! @Derek Good work, Derek. The sound was pretty good. I'm guessing that makes the recording process pretty easy (which I like). It has good volume level (which I also like).

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @David Krupka I could not agree more. As I'm playing through these lessons, I'm realizing just how good they are both didactically and musically.

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @joosje So beautiful, Joosje, and yes, very sad. You have such beautiful phrasing, that really brings out the sad longing of the melody.
