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.

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@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…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Ariel Elijovich Very nice, Ariel. I love some of the alternative approaches to these. I like these studies since there's so much to them. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
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…

@Jane Anderson Really nice, Jane. I especially like the difference in feel between the A and B sections. It makes it very dramatic. Excellent work.

@George Aubrey Thank you very much. These are the main ones I'm aware of, but I figure if they caught these, they probably fixed more. II measures 8-9: Missing barline.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Blaise Laflamme Are you using the old Eschig edition? I've considered buying the Zigante edition, but since it still says Eschig, I'm not sure if things like this and the incorrect bass notes in X…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary Honestly, you came across as confident in the video, and there weren't any of the usual mannerisms and tics that show up when someone is really nervous. Again, nice job.
