Re: WEEK TWO: The Musical Voyage!
@Martin That's incredible for having worked on it for so short a time (I think you said one hour). Those are very rich chords. It reminds me of the chord voicings a jazz guitarist like Joe Pass…

Re: WEEK TWO: The Musical Voyage!
Monkfish (Sketch VII) Day 2. This is a video edit of variations 1-5. After the fifth variation, I hop down to the two-measure ending (measures 85-86). I cannot play variations 6 and 7 yet.…

Re: WEEK TWO: The Musical Voyage!
@Khiem Nguyen That’s a big improvement, Khiem! Getting those highest notes to sustain over into the next measure is what makes this one both challenging and beautiful.…

Re: WEEK TWO: The Musical Voyage!
@Blaise Laflamme Beautifully played, Blaise! You make the melody sound like it's dancing in a slow and relaxed way. I had to listen to it several times in a row just because I loved it so much.

@Daniel Beltrán That was really great, Daniel! I think the tempo is good. I played it slower, but I think it gets tedious toward the end at my tempo. That's such a great piece of music!…

Re: What is YOUR STORY? Share with fellow community members here!
@Brett Gilbert Thank you for the kind words. Sketches 1 and 2 would be a great goal. They’re both more complex than I thought at first. Keeping up on two instruments (and on life) has got to be…

@Daniel Beltrán Thank you, Daniel. I've got something a little different that I'm working on for this one. I'll probably post again tomorrow.

@Daniel Beltrán Thank you, Daniel. Recording them separately helped me to bring out the contrasts (although there could be more contrast).

@Ron You are a wise man, Ron! Each of these really should be studied for several weeks at least. I hope we get to hear you play some more.

Re: WEEK TWO: The Musical Voyage!
@Ron Thanks, Ron. That idea popped into my head last night, and it sure made playing it a lot easier, doing it in chunks. The editing on the computer was easier than I thought.…
