Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes @Martin I was not trying to point out your omission! You do have a lot of patients in this challenge, and I am in awe of how you are able to do it all, and do it so well!

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes @joosje Thank you, Joosje. Normally I'm a big fan of rubato, but I think this one sounds good with a clear rhythm in the A sections. I attempted to be a little looser with time in the B section,…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes @Derek Good job, Derek! I haven't really worked on either of those. Both seem to be a real workout for the left hand.

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes @Peg Barrett I actually really like #12 too. On paper (or computer screen), it just looks like a simple arpeggio moving up and down. But when you hear it,…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes @Elizabeth Uyehara Good work, Elizabeth! Doing just one etude, or even one part of one etude, for the whole challenge is great. Practicing each one of these really well could easily last months.…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes Study 21 Initial Run Through. I had never played or even heard this one prior to this challenge. When I played a few measures of it last week, I loved it and put it on my list of pieces I'd like to…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes Study 9 update. I'm trying to add a bit more musicality and contrast to this now. Martin suggested a more staccato approach, so in the A sections (beginning and end) I am playing the bass notes…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes @Emma Well, I’m not saying it’s great, but I’m feeling like moving on. I said that, however, before Martin did his video about thumb placement on this etude,…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes @Peg Well, I'm finding 9 particularly fun to play. Martin didn't put that in the difficulty chart, but I'd say it's intermediate. I'm planning to work on 21 soon.…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes @Martin I loved Martin's fingerings so much that I just had to give them a try. The fingering he gave for measure 15 is particularly mind-blowing . The only one I chose not to do is the barre…
