Re: What was the last piece of music that inspired you?
@Stephen Holland I love Berta Rojas! In my book, she's the best interpreter of Barrios.

@Jack Stewart Wow, Jack, this really is beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing it. BTW, did you know that Rhiannon rings like a bell through the night? Wouldn't you love to love her?

Re: Week 4: Spain in 19th ! 🐂
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I like many of Ferrer's pieces more than this one, but I can see why it would be popular among guitarists and listeners. It's fun to play and sounds really "Spanish"…

@Blaise Laflamme I don't think I applied it twice. Maybe I did by accident, I can't really remember.. My ear is so unobservant of these kind of things.

Re: Week 4: Spain in 19th ! 🐂
@Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. Legato is the big challenge here, with position changes and movement on the bass strings.

Tárrega - Prelude No 1 I've decided I would like to take the rest of the week to work on this piece. It's such a lovely piece, and I've never really worked on it before,…

@Deepak I just listened to this chaconne this morning (by Petra Polackova)! I agree - haunting and very beautiful.

Re: Week 4: Spain in 19th ! 🐂
@Wai Thanks, Wai. I think you are referring to the way I play parts of the B section in a higher position, going up the fourth string? If so, that's just to keep the melody on the bass strings as…
