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.…

@Jane Anderson Very nice, Jane. It's sounding very clean, which is something I'm working on now.

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.

@Blaise Laflamme Excellent, Blaise! Really nice energy. See, that whammy bar we were just talking about would come in handy after all, lol.

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.…

@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary For mm 9 and beyond, I play it as written and keep 4 down for the whole time all the way through mm 16. I like having that stability.…

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!
@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary That was a beautiful performance, Nijwm. Just a perfect pace and really nice even tone throughout. I really like the transition to the second section.…

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…

Number 5 - Like I mentioned to Marc, I think this one is deceptively simple. The first chord shapes are very common, but then they get more challenging and adding the open strings and complex rhythm…

@Blaise Laflamme I was gonna say it's for the whammy bar, but sadly my guitar doesn't have one, lol.

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Marc AdlerNice, Mark. That's what I'm working on now, too. I think this one is deceptively simple. It gives you familiar chord shapes and then throws these oddball shapes at you that you have to…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary Thanks, Nijwm. I actually feel pretty good about mm9 and up, but mm8 is what gets me. It takes a pretty dramatic hand position change, and it's very hard for me to play cleanly.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
I've been working on III since this was announced, since it's so much fun. I need to balance the voices better, but I'm happy with where it's at. The breakthrough for me was treating it like a scalar…
