Re: Who is the composer you feel is underrated in the guitar world?
I've always been surprised to hear so little by Alfredo Franco. He writes in a modern language, but it's still very accessible. The only player I know who plays his music regularly is Cristiano…

@martin That's lovely, Martin. I'd heard the Farinas, but never the Ianerelli. I'll have to check him out.

@Eric Phillips These are awesome, Eric. Shand is one of those names I heard a lot from players I knew, but there were never any recordings.

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Three
@Ron Thanks a lot, Ron. I agree. I've learned so much through these and found some of my new favorite music because of them.

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Three
@Jack Stewart Thanks, Jack. I'm just happy to find something by him that I can try to play. The "simple and pure" makes sense since he wrote these for his only child, seven-year-old daughter, Cecilia.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Three
@Eric Phillips This is my favorite from the set. I love that alternating triplet/duplet pattern. I messed around with that one before, and it's another tough piece. Well done.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Three
@Eric Phillips Very nice, Eric. Those shifts are tough. I don't think Lauro gets enough respect for how challenging his music is. Very little of his music is approachable without quite a bit of skill,…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@Ron I think the chaconne is my favorite, but I love the gigue, too. Of course, Bogdonavic gives it the full polymetric treatment, which makes it extra hard.…

@joosje @Jack Stewart Thanks a lot. Most of the suite is over my level, but it was really a good find, I think.

@Jack Stewart Very nice, Jack. Sorry to hear about the nail drama, but hope you enjoy LA. There's so much I love about the guitar, but nail care is not part of that.
