@Martin Super analysis and diagnosis, Dr. Martin! You just pinpointed all of my issues, and before this week, I had no idea they were issues.

Re: Group 1
@Martin Great, thank you. I did notice that you play that chord in first position the first time. I just find doing them both up higher to be much easier.…

Re: Group 1
I decided to make a recording of Ernesto García de León’s Padre e Hija. It's a great study in slurs and a-m-i arpeggios. Bill Kanengiser's lesson on this study is highly recommended.

Re: Interactive Masterclass with Martin Zimny
@Martin Okay great. Then I’d like to participate. I’ll play Sor’s Andante Largo Op 5 No 5. An unfingered score is attached. Would it be helpful to you if I gave you a version with my fingerings?

Re: Group 1
@Martin Thanks, Martin. I have not played any of the VL etudes before (except No. 1, but just the arpeggio pattern, not the whole thing). They are all just so darn difficult!…

Re: Group 1
@Martin Thanks, Martin. Yes my pinky definitely goes flat. That's my weakness, I can see, so I need to work on it. Good to know you don't shift exercise 4 around! That makes me feel better! 🙂

Re: Group 1
@Martin Yes, that sketch was way beyond my ability! Thanks for adding the lesson by Bill K. I might try to work on that one, just because I enjoy it so much.

Re: Group 1
June 22 Exercises 3 and 4 These were definitely challenging, especially number 4. I found that doing exercise 4, I became sore in the forearm, the shoulder, and a bit in the hand.…

Re: Group 1
@Martin I have a quick thought. One thing that your slur exercises do not cover is slurs with open strings, which can be quite tricky, especially on higher frets.…

Re: Week 2: Technique work that shines in your pieces 🌻
@Phil Goldenberg Thanks for the feedback, Phil. Adding the downbeat at the end of the scale makes a lot of sense. I see no way to do this without repeating a finger (in this case, repeating i).…

Re: What Guitar do you play?
@Martin Do you think the owner would be willing to trade it for my 1973 Hernandez Grade 1A? I'd even throw in the case for free.
