@Jack Stewart Thanks Jack. I went with plucking the third note in the recording below. Iโll try your idea of doing it differently for ascending versus descending.

@Wai Thank you very much, Wai. I hate that little voice! It always causes me to mess up on something really easy.

@Dale Needles That's wonderful, Dale! Such a welcome change from the type of music that I usually associate with Latin America.

@joosje That's fair enough. Joosje. It is definitely more difficult for me to execute and keep them all rhythmically even as notated. I must say, I am finding pretty significant differences amongโฆ

@Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. Yes, some of them have to have the third note plucked, so doing that each time does make the articulation more consistent. Thanks for your thoughts.

In this video, I'm asking for some advice on the best way to play a section of Luz Mala (Barrios). If you have some time to listen, let me know your thoughts.

Barrios - Estilo Uruguayo (Luz Mala) Apr 14 update This is maybe slightly better than the previous time. I tried to add more dynamic contrast. Here is what still needs work:โฆ

@Moyses Lopes Yes, I read a little bit about the Luz Mala myself. In English, I understand that it it sometimes called will-o'-the-wisp. I do think that Barrios was trying to capture this in theโฆ

@Dale Needles I'm really enjoying all these pieces by Carlevaro. Although I had heard of him, I had never listened to his music before hearing you.

@Moyses Lopes It's funny, but I was actually thinking of getting rid of those two notes as well. Like you said, they are not harmonically vital. Furthermore, they are accompaniment, not melody.โฆ
