Re: Week 2: Forgotten Favorites!
Sor – Andante Op 45 No 5 (July 12) Okay, I went a whole week of this challenge without posting any Sor. Well, that changes today. (No mocking me!) This is a piece that I remember trying to play maybe…

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces!
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. Most people would find it strange that we consider music written in 1928 to be modern.

Re: Guitar display cabinet
@don Sorry, you’re right. I have no lute display case, either. 😀

Re: Guitar display cabinet
Sorry, Don. I’ve got just one guitar that simply stays in its case when I am not playing it.

@Brian Thanks, Brian. Here's a lute piece by John Dowland that I posted a couple challenges ago (Song and Dance Challenge).

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces!
@Brian Sounds like heaven! I enjoy listening to and studying all kinds of music, but in terms of actually playing, I do classical guitar (and lute) exclusively now.

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces!
@Spare Machine A little better each day. When I come to the hairy sections, I still get a little tense when I play them up to speed. I also hear my tempo fluctuating from time to time…

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces!
Barrios – Pais de Abanico (July 11 update) There is a bit of a tempo increase today. I am getting a little more comfortable with it each day, but still much work to do.

@Wai Thank you, Wai. I appreciate the encouragement. From my perspective, the growth is not at all obvious.

@Spare Machine Hey, Mark. I love playing outdoors, and your video reminds me I should do that soon. Unfortunately, since I don’t have FB, I could only watch about 30 seconds of your video.…

Re: Revitalizing Your Classical Guitar Journey: Mastering the Fundamentals with Dr. Daniel de Arakal!
@Joel Great topic, Joel! I have always struggled with memorization. Generally speaking, I only memorize a piece if it happens naturally, just from playing it so much.…

July 10 updates of Giuliani’s Le Rose Op 46 No 9 and Barrios’ País de Abanico I am continuing to work on these two pieces. They are both memorized now (just from playing them so much),…

@Spare Machine That is definitely a "Giuliani-ism" (though he's not the only one, of course).

@Blaise Laflamme Yes he is. On his website I found a promotional video for the album, and it definitely was a period instrument he was playing. His meticulous attention to detail is astounding,…

@Blaise Laflamme @Wai @Jack Stewart @Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary Thanks guys. I am pretty happy with this take, although it is far from perfect. As I was getting to the end of playing this one,…

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces!
@Dale Needles You're right, Sor might be getting jealous! I've got plenty of Sor that I've begun but never finished, so we'll see how it goes.

Re: Week 1: Our Unfinished Pieces!
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. It’s a surprising one for him, for sure. He must have been feeling depressed or anxious when he wrote it. I also wonder why he chose rosemary for that particular piece.
