Re: Week 4: Prepare for Landing! @Steve Pederson Beautiful, Steve! I don't fond it painfully slow at all. It could be a little faster, but not too much. I think a little more difference in volume between the melody and accompaniment…

Re: Fernando Sor - Six Petite Pieces Op 47 @David Krupka Thanks so much for the careful listening and feedback, David. I can see your point regarding tempo. A slower tempo would certainly make the dotted rhythm in measure 4 easier to execute,…

Re: Fernando Sor - Six Petite Pieces Op 47 Op 47 No 1 Andante Apr 7 I have worked on this a bit in the past, so I am not playing it cold. In this initial recording, the tempo is a bit slower than I want it to be eventually.…

Re: Happy Birthday, Bach! Share Your Johann Sebastian Bach Performances! @Stefano Tempera That is wonderful, Stefano! I am impressed by your control at such a quick tempo (but not overly quick). I really like your YouTube channel as well.

Re: Happy Birthday, Bach! Share Your Johann Sebastian Bach Performances! @David Krupka I just checked it out, and you’re so right. I’d like like to try to learn his fingerings from the video.

Re: Week 4: Prepare for Landing! @Steve Price Exactly! You played it well. It was just me observing how I often avoid pieces in C major. Most non-guitarists would probably think of it as an “easy” key to play.

Re: Week 4: Prepare for Landing! @Steve Pederson I agree, it sounds like it could be, but nothing comes up in a search about him writing film music. It definitely has that vibe, though.
