Re: WEEK THREE Updates: Main Thread - The Golden Sound of Tárrega
Some guy named Francisco keeps popping up all over my house with these short little preludes. Any idea how I can get rid of him?

@Olli Great to hear from you, Olli! That was beautiful! Such wonderful contrasts. (Is that a pepperoni pizza to your right?)

@Martin Thank you, Martin. I actually found two solutions to make it easier, both of which are very viable and, in my opinion, do not detract from the piece at all.…

While walking my dog tonight, I decided to listen to a bunch of versions of Pavana on YouTube. So when I got home, I practiced it for about 30 minutes and thought, "Why not record it?" So here it is!…

@joosje It’s always a joy to hear you play, Joosje! I’m sure that all you can hear is the notes that don’t sound right because of the bad nail, but I hear beautiful phrasing and a real connection to…

@Gokce Turkmendag Personally, I’d take practicing guitar over sitting on a beach any day. I do hope you enjoy relaxing, though!

@matt Coming along great, Matt! The B section is definitely harder than the A section. Maybe making up a few exercises based on the slurs in the piece could prove helpful.

@Thomas Thanks, Thomas. I am very thankful that my first guitar teacher, who did not teach me classical, did teach me how to read music. I'm glad you like the piece!

@joosje Thank you, Joosje! I agree 100% about it needing more contrast. I tried for some when it came back to G minor, but as usual, it needs more. I will definitely work on that.

@Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise! Technically it’s definitely in my comfort zone. I just find myself making dumb mistakes and messing up the tempo.

@Barney Thanks, Barney! I had never heard it before either. From what I’ve seen, it may not actually be written by Tarrega. Fun to play, regardless!

I decided to move on from Maria Gavota and give Maria Tango a whirl. What was easy: The re-tuning of two strings always made me avoid playing this piece from my Tarrega book,…

@Thomas Those were spectacular, Thomas! Both were great, but I particularly enjoyed Pavana as we don't hear that one so often. The B section is pretty challenging, but you pulled it off beautifully.…
