Re: 20 Microestudios (No.1 - 10) - Abel Carlevaro
@Wai I think this is an improvement. The notes ring out more clearly, and you seem to control it a bit better. Bravo!

Re: Sor Op.26 Variations (Intro thru 3rd variation)
This is great, Jack! It gets better each time I hear it. Still some flubs, but overall very musical. I really love that slow variation!

Re: Eric's Lute Corner
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. When I was in college, the Renaissance was definitely my favorite period to play. My Noad “Renaissance Guitar” book was so worn it practically disintegrated until my wife…
