Re: Week 4: Prepare for Landing! Thanks for posting this, Steve! I'd never heard of this composer before, but I like his music already! You're off to a good start - I'm sure you can get through the rest of it before the week's end.…

Re: Week 3: Fasten your Seatbelts! @Steve Pederson Eric's concern here reminds me of something I read about a concert given some years ago in New York by Segovia. It seems that some young guitarist had played the same venue a week…

Re: Estudio 2 Giuliani de 23 estudios escogidos @Jesús Rogelio Pérez Buendía Something you might try to do in addressing this issue is to practice the melody on its own. (Much as a pianist might practice the right hand alone.…

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags! @Marilyn Blodget Beautiful, Marilyn! Very fine playing indeed - and David Russell's arrangements are never easy. Like, you, I love the resonance of those deep basses.…

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags! @Steve Pederson Well, Steve, like Jack, I'm shocked. Not by the little mistake which I failed to detect - that I can live with. But the loud, in-your-face, neon hue of that shirt!…

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags! @Stella Kosim What an interesting arrangement! I had no idea that Duarte had composed such a tribute to Ms. Baez. My parents were big fans of the early musical counter-culture.…

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags! @Blaise Laflamme Such a wonderful performance, Blaise! What a pity this beautiful music isn't better known outside of Quebec! (Toujours les 'deux solitudes'!?) We are fortunate, though,…

Re: Baroque Mini Challenge @ferran Wow, 68 cm! I've got a 62 cm Frei, and sometimes I find that a bit much to handle! But yours certainly has superior resonance. (Of course, it's also made by an exceptional luthier!…

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags! @Steve Price Very nice, Steve! Such 'jazz' arrangements of the old standards really work well on nylon strings. And I'm impressed that you've learned it the 'old-fashioned' way. Bravo!

Re: Baroque Mini Challenge @ferran Very nice, Ferran! That's a beautiful looking (and sounding) lute you have. Six courses in E is unusual these days, but probably makes good sense, especially for guitarists!…

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags! @Eric Phillips Frankly, I thought his discussion of chicken pickin' was a bit weak, and he hardly even mentions string bends. And then, to top it off, he just glosses over pedal boards like they…

Re: Baroque Mini Challenge @bryan. burns2011 That's a beautiful arrangement and performance, Bryan, as is the video. The setting of the prelude in C major gives it a fresh character for those of us used to the 'standard'…

Re: Baroque Mini Challenge @John armato Lutes, yes; theorbos no - they're too big, and liable to make guitarists feel inadequate ... Just kidding! Of course, period instruments are not only allowed, they're encouraged! (By me,…

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags! @Barney It has generally been assumed that lutes and vihuelas were always tuned in 'G'. And indeed, they often were, but there was no standardization. Most historical method books advise that the…

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags! @Barney Beautiful tone and fluency, Barney. The capo is not really necessary - 16th century vihuelas came in a variety of pitches, including E, like the modern guitar.

Re: Week 2: Pack your Bags! @Jack Stewart Great piece, Jack! It looks like a real workout for the left hand, but you're pretty much nailing it. As for the right hand, it does take a bit of time to re-orient its position to…
