Re: Week 2: Strings Attached @Derek Great playing, Derek! That looks really difficult to make legato. As for the background and hair, I think it looks fine!

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached @don Oh, okay. I had heard of it, but never really listened to it. I need to stop being such a guitar nerd and start becoming more familiar with other classical music.

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached @Wai Great work, Wai! On Gallarda y Villano, those fast scale runs are pretty impressive. I also like the index finger rasgeados. They sound a bit like the clangy strumming of the baroque guitar.…

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached @joosje Thank you, Joosje. It is difficult to compete with the piano on a piece like this. The music seems to be teaching me to touch and stroke the strings a bit differently, more softly,…

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached @David Krupka Thank you, David. I do feel more comfortable. I found with the chordal sequence, the lighter I play it, the more legato it sounds (or at least the illusion is legato is better).…

Re: Miguel Llobet Mini Challenge @David Krupka Thanks so much, David, for listening and for the background info on this piece. Musically, it is a bit odd, and I'm not sure I am effectively communicating what Llobet had intended.…
