Re: What Apps you're using to structure your practice? Nothing. I don’t own an iPad or tablet. I use a metronome that I keep in my guitar case. I print out the pieces I’m working on. BTW, I do own a car and have running water.

Re: Week 2: Sleeps a Song in all things! @Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I'd like to work on it for a while. Below I posted some sectional practice videos, but they are pending review. I knew I shouldn't have included all those swear words!

Re: Week 2: Sleeps a Song in all things! Coste – Les Soirées D’Auteuil (May 9) I was feeling a little lack of motivation as I continued to work on Coste's Op 38 No 8, so I decided to begin working on this piece by Coste.…

Re: Week 1: Wanderer over a Sea of Fog! @joosje That added variable bass string must be very useful at times. It's a shame it hasn't become a standard option for classical guitars.

Re: Week 1: Wanderer over a Sea of Fog! @joosje Beautiful, Joosje! Your seven-string guitar is perfect for Coste. I understand his guitar also had 22 frets. Does yours as well? Number two is great, but like you say, needs to be fast.…
