@Luciano Salvatore Coming along nicely, Luciano! Your hands seem very capable of doing the task, it just needs practice to make the movements fluid. Good work.

@Paul Kennedy So beautiful, Paul. I agree it just needs practice from here, but you have the hand movement down. The B section is in a tough key for the guitar! You probably already know this,…

@Jack Stewart Me either. His most famous piece today seems to be Canarios (again in the Noad book), but this one was much easier! I just went to IMSLP.

@Paul Kennedy Thank you, Paul. I feel much less comfortable on the lute. It’s so easy to be on the wrong string with either my right or left hand (or both!).…

@Emma Thank you, Emma. I agree the first half is better. The phrasing is clearer. I will have to work on that second half.

@David Krupka Thanks, David. I feel much the same about those books. I also had one that was just a collection of 100 studies, probably all by Sor, Giuliani, and Carcassi (maybe Aguado, too?…

@Jack Stewart Yes, the lute was a total shock of a gift from my wife and kids. Not in a million years would I have guessed that was coming. If the Ballard Entre is in the Noad book,…

@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I still feel far more comfortable on the guitar, but the lute is a lot of fun! In college, I had Frederick Noad's anthology called Renaissance Guitar.…

@Jack Stewart I think it is divided into three movements, from what I remember. I think they're all at the same tempo though!

@Blaise Laflamme Too late, I already started the next challenge. It's the John Cage challenge, and I submitted a video of his masterpiece 4'33". Great piece, and works very well on the guitar! 😄

Re: Song and Sorrow: Tárrega's Lágrima
As usual, I cannot attend live, but I’ll be watching this one later for sure! It doesn’t look like it’s interactive, is that correct?
