Re: Eric's Lute Corner
@Eric Phillips If you're still wanting to post something, once you get more comfortable with the technique, I'd be curious to have you show the period-appropriate technique.…

Eduardo, Thanks for doing this. Part of the problem with technical exercises is that there are sooo many of them it's overwhelming so they get forgotten about.…

Re: Catedral Barrios
@Manolis That's impressive and it's coming along really well. You're motivating me to work up some of the larger works I've dabbled with but put off.

Re: 20 Microestudios (No.1 - 10) - Abel Carlevaro
@Dale Needles He really is one of my favorites. A nice mix of challenging and accessible. A lot of his music is out of my reach but I'm slowly chipping away at Evocacion.…

Re: 20 Microestudios (No.1 - 10) - Abel Carlevaro
@Dale Needles Hi Dale, Listening to Carlevaro's recording of 9, it seems like he's playing it fairly loose when it comes to time. I know this piece is marked poco libero,…

Re: 20 Microestudios (No.1 - 10) - Abel Carlevaro
@Wai That's great! There is so much going on in it. Like you said it's pretty abstract and although it's relatively short I think it's one of those pieces that it would take months to really…

Re: Arturo Castro Nogueras: Beyond Brouwer - Contemporary Classical Guitar Music in the Caribbean!
@Paul Kennedy I believe that's Roberto Sierra's Sonata para Guitarra. It won a Latin Grammy for best contemporary classical composition in 2021 so it's nice to see guitar getting some love.…

Re: Group 1
@Nick Thanks. Still a ways to go on anything faster and still clean. This session has been good for making me focus on the details since I'm normally pretty lazy about that.

Re: Group 1
Here's a slow take of exercises 3 and 4. Still working on the right-hand pinky. It either wants to be sticking out or curled in my palm so I'm working on finding a middle ground for it.…

Re: 20 Microestudios (No.1 - 10) - Abel Carlevaro
@Blaise Laflamme I second the Preludios Americanos. They're challenging musically, but still accessible without the difficulties of pieces like the Cronomias or his 5 etudes.…

Re: 20 Microestudios (No.1 - 10) - Abel Carlevaro
@Wai Really nice. I think there are a few studies that Carlevaro added these coda or tag endings on to that are challenging to interpret. 6 is another I think.…

Re: More Ponce repertoire lessons
Definitely Tres Canciones as @Hector said. His "baroque" prelude in E is really interesting and a lot of fun. I've always thought the Seis Preludios Cortos were a charming set and I'm surprised…

Re: Group 1
@Nick It's a pretty nice instrument. My wife actually bought it for me before we were married so that's at least '98. It's funny I've never seen another one until now.

Re: Fantasia XXXI by Francesco Canova da Milano
I really enjoyed these. It's interesting that I don't really appreciate how well that music fits the lute until hearing it back to back like this. I'm not sure if it's because it's reminiscent of…
