Re: Mistake in notation "spanish romance" measure 14?
There are various arrangements of this piece, but this measure is basically a B7 chord and D# is the 3rd of the chord, so it's harmonically correct (and more interesting imo) to have some bass…

Re: Annotations to your music
@Mircea I have a gen 2 ipad which seems only works with the original iPen. Gen 3 and up use the newer (and even more expensive) ipen. Not sure if Apple's "palm rejection" is better on the newer pen…

Re: Opinions on using a strap to hold the guitar instead of supports.
I wouldn't recommend it for an expensive guitar, it might change the resale value since some people are traditionalists when it comes to classical guitars.…

Re: Armrest in new Franz Halasz videos
@Olli I'd like to know exactly what he uses, I'd guess it's more like yoga mat material since the rug pads are sometimes rough. This would need to be sticky to hold the guitar in the cello position…

Re: Opinions on using a strap to hold the guitar instead of supports.

Re: Annotations to your music

Re: Bluetooth Page Turners
The clicking sound would be okay for noisy gigs, but I'm not sure I'd want that for a quiet classical gig or a recording. I saw one of the LAGQ players using a pedal that looked like the AirTurn Duo,…

Re: Bluetooth Page Turners
Is AirTurn Duo the best one for classical guitarists then? I like the idea of the more compact version for gigs but if it's not as good I'd like to know.

Re: Need advice on Villa-Lobos Etude 1
It's just an E major chord with the 3rd (G#) in the bass. I'd say, don't kill yourself on a left hand stretch to practice a right hand exercise, just play a different voicing.…
