Re: Experience with Alaska Picks Listening to your playing during the Carcassi challenge makes me think they are doing a good job in terms of tone. I wonder if the difficulty with the thumb is due to the fact that, with this finger,…

Re: Week 6: Triumph & Reflections Hi all, as this challenges comes to an end, I wonder if the members have tried before something like an open mic, in small groups maybe, to exchange ideas and play at least some tricky passages to…

Re: Week 6: Triumph & Reflections Thank you all for the very helpful suggestions. I will continue to exercise this piece, trying to add more colour to the slurs and to add emphasis to the melodic and harmonic tensions.

Re: Week 6: Triumph & Reflections @Barney Thank you, playing closer to the soundhole is definitely something I have to consider more, in general. And yes, if you mean during the descending slurs, I try to snap off these.

Re: Week 6: Triumph & Reflections @Ron Bravo! Be sure that we all play and make mistakes. As joosje said, 'recording is unforgiving'. I would add that the guitar (to my ears) is specially unforgiving!…

Re: Week 4: Expressive Exploration Hi @joosje ! Yes, I meant glissandos (I wonder what I was thinking when I wrote 'slurs' ). Thank you for the feedback. I am trying to train at a slower tempo, but when I record, always it goes up,…

Re: Week 4: Expressive Exploration @Vilio Celli Hi there. I am also training this one. It is quite fun to play! I would just add that in the 'legatures' starting in bar 8 of part B all the notes have the same tempo.…

Re: Week 2: Deep Dive into Dynamics! @Carlo Martins Thank you all for the kind comments. Study n.7 reminds me of a 'chorinho' (for a reference, listen to this https://youtu.be/FJJhm7gNL8c?si=bD-oEWEHzOPvfMa_). Does this makes any sense?

Re: Week 2: Deep Dive into Dynamics! @joosje Hi! Thank you for the remarks. Indeed, bars 24-29 in n.6 are a bit hard for me, but I think I can try to keep the melodic notes ringing. For n.7, you've hit the nail in the head!…
