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 My wife and kids have no interest either, and get quite upset if I spend too much time practicing guitar. This forum is my only audience as well.…

@Barney We have now worked both John Williams' (the guitarist and the film composer) into this one forum! Just an observation. 🙂

@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.…

@Barney Superb, Barney! A very different take, but I like it a lot. It was less rhythmic but much more lyrical. Your contrasts in tone color were outstanding. Great work!
