@Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary Very nice, Nijwm. Really good dynamics. I've lost files during one step or another in the editing workflow so I know what you mean, lol.

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. Definitely #2. All the open space and the trying to release notes quietly made this one much more challenging for me. Normally, when I play,…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
Right and left hand muting is not an area I'm strong in, so I'm using #1 as a chance to work on that and try to keep the melody notes to their given values.…

Re: hairpin symbol represents rubato not dynamics
@António Fernandes I'm definitely no expert, but in the example you gave, I'd say the hairpins are only for dynamics, to create rising and falling waves of sound.…

Re: hairpin symbol represents rubato not dynamics
This is very interesting. I wonder how much of it comes from the natural tendency to slow down as a passage gets quieter and speed up when it gets louder.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
@Blaise Laflamme @Ariel Elijovich I don't have the best ear to tell, but are you keeping the accompaniment the same while applying the dynamics to the melody only,…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
For #1, I'm curious about interpreting the dynamics? Should they be applied to the melody and accompaniment or just the melody, keeping the accompanying notes at the same level throughout the piece?

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages with Martin
Hey Martin, glad we're doing this one again. I've worked on Brouwer's Preludios Epigramaticos on and off for years, and I've never come up with a good solution for this phrase from #3.…

Re: Leo Brouwer's Estudios Sencillios!
#1 was the very first classical piece I ever tried to play. I found it as a teen when some rock guitar magazine reprinted it with a lesson to try to broaden their reach.…

Re: The Old White Owl - Daniel Oman
This is excellent, Blaise. I wish I had the ear to appreciate the new mics, but your stuff always sounds great. Do you do any EQing or any other processing? It might be my room,…

@Dale Needles Well-played, Dale. I need to get back to these, since I really enjoy them every time I hear them.

Re: Carlevaro - Compositions
@Blaise Laflamme I like that a lot. But I'd probably call it something like "Community Woodshed" since my sprinting days are definitely over, lol.

@Blaise Laflamme I'd be good with that. I think Eric just added them under the general discussions section, so if nothing official is being set up, we should do that and I don't mind helping with…

Re: What is your favorite guitar practice hack?
@Martha Kreipke This was very helpful. I'm working on a modern arrangement of an Irish folk song and the melody moves throughout the voices. I remembered this and highlighted all of the melody notes…

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,…

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…
