Re: Week 4: Etude Extravaganza! @don Nice job bringing out the melody. The inner voices of the arpeggios are sometimes not audible. I recommend slowing down and listening for evenness of inner voices and making sure you can hear…

Re: Week 4: Etude Extravaganza! @Andre Bernier Thanks for sharing these pieces. Very good choices for the etude challenge. Eric made some very good points about alternating i and m. It’s like walking your fingers—much easier than…

Re: Week 4: Etude Extravaganza! @don I listened to your performance again with that in mind and I had fun imagining many possibilities. I’m seeing a comedy—flirtation, miscommunication, definitely conversations and adventure,…

Re: Week 4: Etude Extravaganza! @Barney True. My guitar is a 664 mm, which also adds to the difficulty. Is yours? I’ve been told it’s like playing a fence post, but I love the sound.

Re: Week 4: Etude Extravaganza! @Barney I have really only played my guitar. I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth. I’ve been using Savarez high tension Alliance trebles and Cantiga basses. What strings do you use?

Re: Week 4: Etude Extravaganza! @Barney Thank you Barney. I think our guitars may be related. Mine is a 1969 Ramirez 1A, purchased at Ramirez shop in Madrid in 1969. Mariano Tezanos Castro (MT) was the luthier.

Re: Week 4: Etude Extravaganza! @don This is coming along nicely, Don. Lots of fluidity. This piece has so much potential for dynamic expression. You might think about telling a story with your interpretation.
