Hello Martin,
That was a great class on Garcia de Leon's studies. Like you, I had never even heard of him until he began to be featured here in Tonebase. What great pieces! Like you say, they are a great complement to Brouwer's Estudios Sencillos. One thing that I particularly like about them is the titles and dedications he gives to each one, which are not only interesting, but useful for interpretation and imagery while playing.
I hope you don't mind, but I am submitting videos I made of the first three studies which you taught. I guess I'm missing not having the Sergio Assad challenge anymore to keep me busy! I don't expect any feedback, but I just wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying them and how much I appreciate all the help you gave me through your presentation.

Eric Phillips really good Eric

Derek Thanks, Derek!

Eric Phillips This is so cool, Eric! Glad, that you enjoyed those pieces! Did you have a chance to watch Bill's releases on some of the later studies? Looking forward to having a great time with you during the Carcassi Challenge!
-
Martin Thanks, Martin. Yes, I did watch Bill's videos on the later studies. I've been playing number 18 (Luciernagas) for about a week now. That is so fun to play, and really easy to memorize for some reason. I will probably put a pause on these studies for now, though, so I can concentrate on the Carcassi.

Eric Phillips awesome!
