Re: Villa-Lobos Prelude No.1!
@Ariel Elijovich Thanks Ariel! I've learned that the "spell check" is unreliable, and if I'm not patient to review it, results can be misunderstood. Wow!…

Re: Villa-Lobos Prelude No.1!
@Ariel Elijovich Yes, excellent analysis and response. Thanks!! What about my question: "Have you found a way to achieve the same round tone with free strokes as with Rest strokes?" Also,…

Re: Villa-Lobos Prelude No.1!
@Ariel Elijovich Holding the right hand "straight". requires a bit more effort, because I need to hold it up, rather than letting the hand drop limp with gravity.

Re: Villa-Lobos Prelude No.1!
@Ariel Elijovich @Mark "every possible natural movement or body position is appliccable to playing". Yes, and I suppose the challenge is to make the position shifts as fluid as possible.…

Re: Villa-Lobos Prelude No.1!
@Ariel Elijovich Thanks Ariel! It's not habit yet, and I have to look in the mirror sometimes to check if it looks straight. I guess it will take some time...

Re: Villa-Lobos Prelude No.1!
@Mark Thanks Mark! Previous to this video, I would always allow my right hand & wrist fall limp and relaxed and this created the deviation to the right side.…

Re: Villa-Lobos Prelude No.1!
@Ariel Elijovich I was referring to my "Ulnar Deviation" of my right hand position (like Segovia). You suggested I try to have a more "Straight" position for healthier motion.…

Re: Villa-Lobos Prelude No.1!
@Ariel Elijovich Perhaps it is because pianists and and other orchestral instruments are trained in musicianship early while learning technique; whereas many guitar teachers often wait until…

Re: Villa-Lobos Prelude No.1!
@Ariel Elijovich Thanks Ariel! Yes, the left hand continues getting better, but I need to treat it with extra care and wear the brace when playing. At least I can start playing some less challenging…

Re: Le Support Voyager
@Blaise Laflamme @John Mardinly Yes, the more I think about it, I agree with you both. Even with this beautiful Zither, if the suction cups come loose from gravity, it can cause damage.…

Re: Mastering Tricky Passages

Re: Le Support Voyager
@John Mardinly@Blaise Laflamme Got it. Thanks John! I see this Zither stand available on GSI guitars, but it is expensive. Do you think the Le Support may hang freely and not touch the wood,…

Re: Le Support Voyager
@Blaise Laflamme I guess the K&K works as long as the guitar with Le support attached rests on it for only a very short time, otherwise the suction may fail due to overall weight pulling sideways…

Re: Le Support Voyager

Re: Villa-Lobos Prelude No.1!
@Marc Adler Thanks Mark! You should try this one. I believe it is the first VL piece I ever worked on, and it is not too difficult.
