Re: Performance Anxiety
@Michelle Roper This has been such a good discussion. I've always thought a lot about the differences between sports and other competitions and performing on the guitar.…

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages
Hey Martin, I have a couple more questions about Brouwer's Preludios Epigramaticos. If you only have time for one, the first problem I have from No. 2 is what I need more help with.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Marc Adler I just looked back through the thread, and it looks like Blaise's edition has the ties, so apparently, there are different copies from Eschig out there.

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Marc Adler That's interesting, Marc. Those chords are how @Jane Anderson played it. I'll have to add it to my list of notes and corrections.

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Blaise Laflamme That's really interesting. I can see how changing the timbre on one note in a block chord would be a really useful tool.

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Ariel Elijovich Thanks, Ariel. Applying this to #6 would take some work since my independence isn't quite there yet. I've seen people do exercises like emphasizing one string in Villa Lobos Etude #1…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Blaise Laflamme I think his point is that the corale-style doesn't necessarily mean the voices have to always stay the same volume. Choirmasters will use dynamics to bring out certain lines in a…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
I watched a really good lesson with Jonathan Leathwood on voicing, and he spends a lot of time talking about Estudios Sencillos #2. He points out that just because it's a "coral,…

@martin I was working so I missed the livestream, but just watched the replay. Your input was extremely helpful. Treating it as a feature and not a bug, as they say in the programming world,…

@David I think this is the right product at the best price, but I didn't actually order it. By the time I finished this study group session, I had so many notes in my score,…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Marc Adler Nice, Marc. Minimalism was some of the first classical music I ever listened to, and this piece definitely has a Glass/Reich/Adams vibe to it.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Ariel Elijovich That's a beautiful story about your father, and it is a perfect illustration of the value of these kinds of works. Borbola Seres did a couple of sessions on Tonebase a while ago and…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
Tied up with work, so I haven't had a chance to post, but I did stumble on this live version of Roland Dyen's take on #6 as a theme and variations that is a lot of fun.

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Ariel Elijovich This is really helpful. A slight shift in hand position made all the difference to hit those notes cleanly and reduced a bit of strain in my hand. Thanks a bunch.

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages with Martin
@Barney I get the lack of response is frustrating. Not long ago I got locked out entirely for a few days and couldn't get a response. It was actually Blaise and Martin who ended up helping me out.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Marc Adler Nice Marc. I fat finger that passage you're talking about all the time. Currently, I'm experimenting with using 4 to play both pull-offs, but we'll see how that works out.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Ariel Elijovich No, I use a rest stroke with a. But, I do the kind of crossover you're talking about with m when I play the ascending version of #6. I switch between the way Brouwer suggests and…
