@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.

@Steve Price Thanks, Steve. I feel like it really hasn't improved since the end of about week one. It always seems like I can get a piece to a playable level pretty quickly,…

@Blaise Laflamme Yes, the change in angle is meant to hide the fact that I did that last section in a separate take. Not very subtle, I know.

Sarabande (BWV 1002) Here is a quick recording I made of the Sarabande from Bach's first violin partita. I am reading from Frederick Noad's transcription, but I have made a few changes.
