Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Jack Stewart I know what you mean about having difficulty 'locating' the fingers, Jack. I definitely experienced that when I first went 'nail-less'. But after a while this ceased to be a problem.…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Jack Stewart Very nice, Jack. It definitely looks challenging to play. (Is it your own arrangement?) I think your tone is sounding quite good now, even if there is room for improvement.…

Re: Week 2: Ballads and Barcarolles @Steve Price I don't think nails contribute much to volume, Steve. I would think what matters is the amplitude of the vibration, and I don't see why that would be increased by the nail.…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @Eric Phillips That's a good question, Eric. I wonder if any guitar music at all is has been transcribed for other instruments. I can't think of anything off hand.

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @Eric Phillips Definitely 'doable', Eric! It already sounds good, and I know it will only get better! I remember when I first heard the 'Suite Populaire' (it was the Bream recording) being struck by…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @Eric Phillips Well played, Eric. I find it works well at your tempo. Jeffrey's version is impressive, but could anyone actually dance to it? Without amphetamines, I seriously doubt it.…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @Eric Phillips Well done, Eric! Have you considered using some p-i alternation here? I at least find the little 16th note ornaments easier to execute in this manner.…

Re: When is your favorite time of day to Practice? @Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary In the world of classical guitar, the ability to read music is an essential skill. It's best to master it as soon as possible. It sounds to me like you are taking the right…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @don Nice performances, Don. I really enjoyed the 'Moon River' arrangement. It suits the guitar so well! I guess you're playing it in standard tuning, rather than with the 6th raised a half-step?

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @Michael Shirk Great start here, Michael! I don't think you're too far from a final tempo. It's definitely a tricky piece, what with the recurring three against two in the meter.…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @Calin Lupa Nice energetic performance, Calin! Beldinsky was a Soviet guitarist, born in 1927. He founded a guitar academy in his native Lugansk, a city in the news for less happy reasons these days.…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations You raise some interesting issues, Steve. One thing I would point out is that the 'Canario' dance had been popular in Europe for about a hundred years by the time Sanz set his now well-known version…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @Steve Price I found the image online. It’s remarkably well done, although I don’t think the Roland D50 was around ‘63! The Telecaster is appropriate, though.

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @joosje it’s already sounding good, Joosje. I know of the piece through Cinzia Milani’s performance for Siccas Guitars. I’m surprised to hear it’s not technically difficult,…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @Steve Price that’s more or less what I thought too, Steve. Btw, I don’t mean to be snooping, but is that a framed picture of Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald on your wall!?

Re: When is your favorite time of day to Practice? @Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary they refer to the position on the fretboard at which the scale is to be executed. So the ‘VII’ above the first line indicates that your first finger should be at the seventh fret…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations @Dale Needles interesting pieces, Dale! I don’t think I’ve heard either of them before. Although short, they don’t appear easy - the first in particular looks like quite a workout for the left hand.…
