Re: What is your favorite guitar practice hack?
@Gerben Miedema Very true. Losing focus has been one of my biggest challenges since I've been playing.

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
I've played this both ways over the years, but this one note has been bugging me ever since I got the Koontz edition a while back. In his edition, he puts the first bass note in mm23 as an E for ease…

Re: Bach’s Prelude in D minor, BWV 999
@Blaise Laflamme This has always been an interesting topic to me. I've been back and forth, but now I'm firmly in the 6th string F camp for measure 23. It's tricky to pull off,…

Re: Who is the composer you feel is underrated in the guitar world?
@Eric Phillips Very nice, Eric. I love this piece. I commented on Porqueddu's forum, and he ended up emailing me and Alfredo Franco, and there is supposed to be a lot more of his music published,…

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 I have a recording with Davide Ficco playing Lauro and Barrios, and he plays an E, but I got curious and found a YouTube video from '81 with Lauro playing it, and he plays the A.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Three
Two pieces from Joaquin Rodrigo's El álbum de Cecilia, originally for piano. These were transcribed by Pepe Romero, and the transcription was dedicated to his father, Celedonio.…

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.…

@joosje Excellent, Joosje. Those runs in the courante are very slick. Nicely 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.…

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@joosje @Jack Stewart Thanks a lot. Most of the suite is over my level, but it was really a good find, I think.

Re: The Dance Challenge Week Two
@Eric Phillips Thanks, Eric. The similarities aren't so noticeable in this piece, other than the fact that it is such a peaceful dance nestled in between heavily contrasting sections (here,…

Bogdanovic: Suite brève: III. Sarabande Just learned about Dusan Bogdanovic's Hommage to J.S. Bach, Suite brève. There are some very tough movements, but they're actually not too bad compared to some…

@Eric Phillips That's really nice, Eric. I think Aguado really excels in these shorter character pieces.

@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.
