Re: Week 3: My heart leaps up! 🌈
@Eric Phillips Thanks for listening, Jack. It’s definitely not a beginner piece, more like late intermediate, I’d say. I want to keep working on it so I can play it more securely.…

Re: Group 1
Here are videos with my tremolo practice today. I'm trying, but I really don't enjoy this kind of practice. It's just tedious and mentally exhausting. I'm doing all the different finger combinations,…

José Ferrer - Nostalgia (May 20) Here is a new one I'm working on. It's in C minor, which makes it a bit challenging for the guitar. Making things legato just does not come easy in this key.

Mertz - Op 13 An Malvina (May 20) Here is another update of this piece. I feel like I have plateaued on this one, so I'll probably make this my final video of it for the challenge.…

Re: Group 1
@joosje It looks good to me. It still doesn't seem "natural" yet, but the fingers are moving correctly. It is so difficult to fight the hand's more familiar movements, but you are doing very well.

@Emma Thank you for the encouragement, Emma. Maybe you can be more objective than I am in seeing a difference. I must have missed Martin showing us this with a scale in thirds.

Mertz - Op 13 An Malvina (May 17) I am continuing to work on this one. It is well-memorized by now, but I'm not sure my playing of it is improving. I can't seem to get through playing it without…

@Wai That is excellent, Wai! I'm really blown away. They say a transcription is good when it seems like it was written for the instrument. By the look of your playing,…

José Ferrer – Minué Op 56 I am continuing to work on Mertz' An Malvina, but I thought today I'd submit something different. Ferrer has quite a few very nice miniatures, and this is one of them.
