Martin "Nitsuga Challenge"
..... that would be very nice 
-
joosje Dear Joosje, when Martin starts the "Tremolo-Challenge", I promise to you, "Campanas del Alba" will be the first piece I`ll record !
-
Eric Phillips Hello Eric, I own the complete scores - there are many contemporary pieces that are often played. And on the other side, exactly as with Tarrega, there are smaller, one page pieces, and also "easier" pieces as well.....
-
Olli well, I might join you with that one, Olli. But for the moment I am practicing some pieces for a summer masterclass in France. I will refresh the tremolo pieces later.
-
Olli Bravo!!!
-
Olli Wonderful Olli - great playing. Campanas Del Alba is one on my to do list (or should I say wish list!). I also agree that a Mangore challenge would be a great idea
-
Olli great take on this piece Olli! You're definitely on a run to play a dedicated concert to Tarrega
-
Olli very well played Olli. Thank you for sharing your interpretation with us. This was my main focus for this challenge but I’ll be working on it for some time to come. I’m learning it from Tariq Harb’s lesson here on Tonebase. I think it’s my favorite Tarrega piece although I’ve not heard them all!
- One thing you found easy:
-
Dear Martin and fellow challengers,
attached you can find my versions of Sueno and Gran Vals. Maybe I could manage to record a try on Capricho Arabe this week, but as usual .... time runs away and it is very diffucult to catch it .....
Have fun and see you soon!
-
Thomas that’s so beautiful Thomas. Very musical and wonderful tone. Thanks for sharing.
-
Thomas These are outstanding Thomas! I think you’re the first one to tackle either of these pieces. Sueno is beautiful, and is very difficult to make legato. Gran Vals is so challenging, especially all those barres! My arm is sore just listening to you. Great work!
-
Thomas dear Thomas, your recordings are very beautiful - thank you
-
joosje Thanks a lot for your kind words, Joosie! I am looking forward to your next prelude because I am a big fan of your tone as well.
-
Eric Phillips Thank you Eric, my arm is sore as well
At least it was worth ist, because you like the result. -
Olli I am glad you like them and I am very impressed by the pace you recorded so many difficult pieces! Great!
-
Thomas Wow, both submissions are wonderful, great performance! Sueno is such a beautiful little gem, Tárrega has so much of them to offer!
-
Thomas Bravo!!!
-
-
Dear Martin and fellow challengers,
it is already late at night, but the next days will be very busy, so what shalls .... I gave Capricho Arabe - and me - a chance a few days ago. You can find it attached, but please be tolerant, cause it was a first take recording (with some sctratches)
. I hope you like it anyway 
-
Thomas Another great performance!
-
Thomas wow, that sounds great
-
Eric Phillips Thank you, Eric!
-
Olli Thank you, Olli!
-
Thomas YES, so awesome!!! This is one of the pillars of guitar compositions, I hope it'll stay with you for a long time!

Hi all,Still on Lagrima, I’ve been working on part 2. It’s much more dynamic, and I feel it’s not fluid enough yet to be really musical. However, I love the dramatic feeling it brings!
- One thing you found easy: learning the piece. From hearing the piece, I thought this second part would be complicated to learn and this was actually pretty easy. Playing it decently, on the other hand... is hard (for me)!
- One thing you found difficult: the fluidity, playing with the rhythm but not completely breaking it so the changes keep being smooth.
-
Didier Lágrima is one of those pieces to which I am and will be always coming back! There's is always a new detail to discover! Recently I try to play it a little more "clean" without too many glissandi!
End of the Year Challenge: Finish Strong!
