Re: Group 1
Another great lesson, Borbála. I love how you show there's so much that can be done creatively with music at all levels, not just the masterpieces. I forget this sometimes and end up struggling with…

Re: Group 2
@Blaise Laflamme It's funny I played it as written and I kind of like the half-step dissonance there, lol. What would that be? An F6#5? Brouwer might approve but probably not Carcassi.

Re: Week 2: Deep Dive into Dynamics!
@joosje These are really nice takes on 12 and 16. I love the ebb and the flow of the time and dynamics. It really turns these studies into really lovely pieces of music.

Re: Week 2: Deep Dive into Dynamics!
@Andre Bernier Thanks, Andre! As far as changing hand position it's just personal preference in this case. I learned just from listening to others and what I thought sounded good to me.…

Re: Week 2: Deep Dive into Dynamics!
@Neil Macmillan Nice, Neil. That's coming along well. The repeated notes sound even to me which I think is one of the main things Carcassi was going for so well done.

Re: Week 2: Deep Dive into Dynamics!
@Carlo Martins Very nice, Carlo. I've always liked 7 and think it's very dramatic. 6 never really appealed to me on the page but seeing it played well makes me want to take another look at it.…

Re: Week 2: Deep Dive into Dynamics!
@joosje Thanks for your feedback. I think the variation is a really good idea especially when I start playing the repeats.

Re: Week 2: Deep Dive into Dynamics!
@joosje That's really coming along nicely. I think your phrasing and rubato is really lovely especially in the b section. I agree he makes some interesting choices regarding dynamics.…

Re: Week 2: Deep Dive into Dynamics!
Week 2 of 18 and 20 with no repeats. Because of all the leaps and glissandi in these pieces, I decided to memorize them since reading makes it even harder for me.…

Re: Week 1: Jumpstart Your Journey!
@joosje Thanks a lot. I actually didn't realize how difficult these were until I started working with them more. I don't usually spend a lot of time working on right-hand fingerings,…

Re: Week 1: Jumpstart Your Journey!
@David Krupka Thanks, David. I really like 20. It has the same sweeping arpeggios as the 2nd Villa Lobos but that's beyond me. This might be too, but it's certainly more approachable.…

Re: Week 1: Jumpstart Your Journey!
@Blaise Laflamme I understand that. I'm not to the point where I want to do all the fingering myself, but when I'm combining fingerings sometimes the score can get too messy.

@Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. It's funny I was using his recording as a reference so it's nice to see his edits and fingerings. After you mentioned it I found the book on his page he offers in a…

Re: Week 1: Jumpstart Your Journey!
These two etudes really stood out to me on a recording I heard by Tariq Harb. I've been spending quite a bit of time reading through them slowly to get to know them and figure out the fingering.…

Re: Group 1
Hi Peter, Thanks for sharing this lesson. I've generally avoided cross-string trills since I have trouble with control so I'm glad to have the chance to just pull the band-aid off and work on them…
