@Dale Needles Thank you, Dale. I just listened to your link above. Incredible performance by Carlevaro! I think he is playing it at almost double my tempo, yet it does not feel rushed at all. Amazing!

Re: Week 2: Technique Tango!
@JUAN ALONSO This is a GREAT start, Juan! The last five in this set are really a step up in technique, but you are managing it quite well. Good work!
