Re: Week 6:Reflections on the Journey: Final Touches ✨
@Dale Needles I hear you. If my wife and I didn’t have two teenage children, we would seriously consider moving out of the country.

Re: Week 6:Reflections on the Journey: Final Touches ✨
@Dale Needles Thanks, Dale. All I meant by “gussied up” is that I’ve practiced it more - fewer mistakes and hopefully more expressive than my post from last week.…

Re: Week 5: A Polished Finish: Preparing to Showcase 🎥
Sorry for not posting for a while. I was having some pain in my left hand, so I decided to take a few days away from playing to let my hand rest. I also thought it might be best to play some simpler…

Re: Week 4: The Flow of Practice: Bringing It Together 🎶
@Jack Stewart @joosje Thank you both. I am getting a bit more comfortable with the piece, but some sections still sound problematic to me when I listen back.…

Re: Week 4: The Flow of Practice: Bringing It Together 🎶
@JUAN ALONSO This is wonderful, Juan! You have such a beautiful tone and fluid phrasing, and that only comes with many, many hours of practice. This might be my all-time favorite piece by Sor,…

@Jack Stewart This is just amazing, Jack! It is such an effective transcription. Your playing is quite impressive as well. I don't know what your written score looks like,…

Re: Week 3: Turning Points: Overcoming Hurdles 🔄
@Wai I just listened to what you played, and that sounds right to me. In the first measure you circled, I think the G# and F are to be played together (simultaneously with the low E in the bass).…

Re: Week 3: Turning Points: Overcoming Hurdles 🔄
@Jack Stewart This is truly remarkable, Jack! I am no arranger, but it strikes as a very effective arrangement. The emotional arc of the music comes through very clearly.…

Re: Week 3: Turning Points: Overcoming Hurdles 🔄
@Wai Love it! This piece has so much intensity and drama packed into a minute and a half. It's one of the highlights of my favorite opus by Giuliani. Great playing,…

Regondi Etude 1 (Dec 3) Another update. I do pretty much have it memorized, but I kept the score in front of me as a bit of a security blanket. I did play the coda without the score, and naturally,…

Re: The Joys of playing easy pieces (for those aging fingers and wrists...)
Amen! I could not agree more. Easy pieces bring me so much joy, and never stop teaching me.

@joosje Well done, Joosje! You really capture the baroque aesthetic, it seems to me.

Regondi Etude 1 Nov 28 Here's another update. It's a couple baby steps ahead of my last post. Today is Thanksgiving here in the U.S., so I just want to say how thankful I am to this community and for…

@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary Thanks, Nijwm! Playing it makes me feel like a gymnast performing a floor routine. Hopefully, I'm a better guitarist than gymnast though!

Re: Week 2: Finding Momentum: Small Steps, Big Progress 🚀
@joosje Thank you, Joosje. I can hear that the B section is noticeably slower. It’s mostly because I’m still groping around to find the notes. Why are B sections almost always harder!?

Re: Week 2: Finding Momentum: Small Steps, Big Progress 🚀
@joosje I think practically every measure is tricky, but you're right, the fireworks at the end are particularly challenging.

Re: Week 2: Finding Momentum: Small Steps, Big Progress 🚀
Regondi - Etude 1 (Nov 26) Well, I can (sort of) play through the whole piece now. As this recording shows, I am still just getting it into my fingers. It is exhausting to play it straight through.…
