Re: WEEK 2: Conquering Carcassi's Etudes Study 12 slow and expressive. When I was working on Study 2 and 14, I found it helpful to play them slowly and expressively so I could be attentive to details and have a very clear sense of phrasing…

Re: WEEK 2: Conquering Carcassi's Etudes @Elizabeth Uyehara That’s great. I was wondering if you had listened to that tutorial, since you were doing what TY had spoken about.

Re: WEEK 2: Conquering Carcassi's Etudes Study 12. I had never played this before, and it looked a little boring when I just saw it on paper. But after playing through it, I think the harmonic progression is really quite interesting and…

Re: Tone Production: What Influences your Sound? I won’t be able to attend live, but I will watch it later. One question I have: Is there a notable difference between what we hear when we are playing and what an audience hears? In other words,…

Re: WEEK 2: Conquering Carcassi's Etudes @Elizabeth Uyehara Well done, Elizabeth. Very clean and controlled. That’s a good idea to work just on one phrase at a time.

Re: WEEK 2: Conquering Carcassi's Etudes @Khiem Nguyen Thank you, Khiem. What makes them difficult for me is that they require such precision of finger placement and pressure, and each one is different depending on its location on the…

Re: WEEK 2: Conquering Carcassi's Etudes @Emma I'm not sure what you mean. Here is a picture of my fingering for measures 23-24. Is this the correct measures? Update: I decided now to play the G’s in measure 24 with the open third string.

Re: WEEK 2: Conquering Carcassi's Etudes @Khiem Nguyen That sounded really good, Khiem! Lovely tone and control. I think the dynamics could be pushed a bit farther, and maybe play a touch slower at the end of phrases.

Re: WEEK 2: Conquering Carcassi's Etudes @joosje Thanks, Joosje. The ornaments are harder than I thought. I don't play much Baroque music, so I rarely play pieces that showcase ornaments. It's showing me how much work they can really be.…

Re: WEEK 2: Conquering Carcassi's Etudes @Brett Gilbert Thanks, Brett. When it's faster, it's sounds a bit like a march to me, which is fine I guess, but I like it to be more tender almost. That said, when I listen back to my playing,…
