Re: Week 2: Strings Attached @Wai It would be a worthwhile exercise, Wai. (However, once you know how to read tablature, you don't really need to make an arrangement - you can play directly from the original source! Of course,…

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached @Steve Pederson It's hard to see how the octaves could work on guitar at tempo. (Then again, some unknown 15-year old shredder on YouTube can probably do it ...…

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached @Wai Well played, Wai! To address your question, there is, in addition to the 'Villano' you play here (which is from the first book of Sanz's 'Instrucción de Música') a longer 'Villanos' in the…

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached @Steve Price This sounds good so far, Steve. The phrase by phrase approach probably makes good sense - it seems to me one of the livestream guests here on ToneBase (I can't remember which)…

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached @Calin Lupa You're off to a great start with this, Calin! I'm familiar with the arrangement for two guitars, but this version is new to me. It seems to work well, although that trill looks difficult!…

Re: Week 2: Strings Attached @Eric Phillips Beautiful, Eric! You look much more comfortable with the piece now, and I suspect this explains the lighter, more fluid interpretation. (That problematic chordal sequence in particular…

Re: Miguel Llobet Mini Challenge @Eric Phillips These are both very good, Eric! 'Plany' in particular is really beginning to grow on me. (I'm afraid I didn't get it at all on first reading - I'm not talking about your performance,…

Re: Week 1: Let there be Music! @Jack Stewart This is sounding good, Jack. I think your nail-less tone has indeed improved since your last video post. One thing I do that you might find helpful is apply plenty of hand cream before…

Re: Miguel Llobet Mini Challenge @Steve Pederson 'El Noi de la Mare' is a lovely piece, Steve, well worth learning. I wouldn't call it easy (what by Llobet is?) but at least it's fairly short (eighteen measures).…

Re: Week 1: Let there be Music! @Jack Stewart Thanks for sharing the score, Jack. I'm not generally a fan of guitar arrangements of baroque keyboard music, but I must say Bertram performs this beautifully!…

Re: Week 1: Let there be Music! @Steve Pederson A great piece, Steve, and really cool that you're working from a score given to you by the arranger himself. And interesting to be coming back to something after such a long time.…

Re: Week 1: Let there be Music! @Wai When playing something written for the 'baroque' guitar, It's often worth having a look at the original tablature. If you're not familiar with this system of notation,…

Re: Week 1: Let there be Music! @Steve Pederson Steve, maybe I'm using a different score, but I don't see what you're saying about the range of the original. It looks to me like the lowest note is a 'G' (i.e.…

Re: Fernando Sor - Six Petite Pieces Op 47 @Eric Phillips This is coming along nicely Eric - it's definitely more fluid now than in the first take. I don't know if I agree entirely about tempo, i.e. the need for it to be faster.…

Re: Week 4: Prepare for Landing! @Blaise Laflamme That's interesting, Blaise, but that date is significant for another reason too: Charlebois was born on June 25, 1944!
