Re: Week 1: How to practice when there's no time
@Blaise Laflamme Thanks for the advice, Blaise. Yes, I need to rethink the movement of the whole arm, I was trying different ways to play these few bars, and started feeling loose in my left hand.

Re: 7 Ejercicios Previos - Abel Carlevaro
No. 6 started to sound like a real tune, really like this one, and no.7. The combination of basses and melodies in both pieces is very interesting and unique.

Re: 7 Ejercicios Previos - Abel Carlevaro
Ejercicios Previos no. 1-4 are very similar, no. 1-3 focused on the thumb movement, and no.4 combined both bass and melody movement.
