Re: WEEK THREE: The Destination!

@Jaime Zaldua Thank you, Jaime! When I listen to this, I mostly hear a lack of rhythmic clarity. I appreciate your positive feedback.

Re: WEEK THREE: The Destination!
@Jaime Zaldua Very good, Jaime! I liked your improvisation a lot! I tried it on this one a bit myself, but nothing worthwhile came out of my guitar. I really liked what you did at the beginning of…

Re: WEEK THREE: The Destination!
@Jaime Zaldua I thought that was great, Jaime! The A section was lush and beautiful. There were a few notes cut short, but it was still lovely to listen to.…

Re: Miguel Llobet: La Nit de Nadal
@Emmanuel Another superb lesson, Emmanuel. The way you explain what makes for good fingering is so eye-opening. Prior to your lesson, I was having such a hard time just figuring out the notes and…

Sketch VII again. I am attempting to play this again with Assad's chords, not mine. After watching Martin give some help with how to best play the chords, I decided to practice them more,…

Re: WEEK TWO: The Musical Voyage!
@Martin Thanks, Martin. I have been keeping up the damping exercises, and they are getting a very little bit better each day. It will take a while, but I know it’s something my fingers need to be…
