Re: Week 1: How to practice when there's no time @joosje Okay, great. I'll see if I can get that to work for me. And, yes, it's a great piece. I'd put it in my top ten pieces ever written for the guitar, probably.

Re: Week 1: How to practice when there's no time @David Krupka Thank you, David. This is exactly the kind of input I want. You are absolutely correct that my switch to the second position D chord in measure 21 is too slow.…

Re: Secondary Instruments Well, I do own an inexpensive renaissance lute. One of my dreams is to take the time to learn to play it properly. I am particularly drawn to the fantasias of Francesco da Milano.…

Re: Week 4: Romantic spirits! @Blaise Laflamme Thanks for the input, Blaise. I actually have no idea how to change those other two things, but I can try. I don't even know what compression is.

Re: Week 4: Romantic spirits! @Blaise Laflamme @Wai I think the only one with rights over this piece would be Carulli himself. I asked him, and he says it's fine to play it at a slower tempo.
