Re: Week 4: Resurrected Rhythms: Celebrating Revived Pieces! For this challengeI memorized the second movement (Andante Religioso) of La Catedral. I tried to paint the melody horizontally and focused on phrasing.

Re: Week 4: Resurrected Rhythms: Celebrating Revived Pieces! @Steve Pederson Very nice Steve! I’m very impressed by your transcription. It might be fun to try different to separate the main melody from secondary themes with different colors or dynamics.

Re: Attending the 2023 GFA Conference in NYC @Jack Stewart Ha ha! But just think — we could all learn something from your experiences, and you could immortalize what you want to remember, before you forget.

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! @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.
