@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:…

@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 the…

@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.

Re: Week 2: A World Full of Sound! 🏖
@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.…

Re: Week 2: A World Full of Sound! 🏖
@Moyses Lopes Thank you so much, Moyses! That works very well. I had tried something similar, but with 2 and 3 reversed, and that did not work. I will try doing it it this way from now on.…
