Gaspar Sanz - Folias

After last month's community challenge, I decided to practice one more Gaspar Sanz piece. This one had a stronger "vibe" of dance music than Españoleta, the tempo was faster, and the consecutive ornaments alternating between bass and melody were killing me...

  • That was excellent, Wai! Again, your sound and clean execution are so great. All those slurred ornaments are not easy to do at all. I really enjoy listening to you play Sanz.

    Hi Wai good job, I only have a suggestion about the last part from 1:19 :I would put the accent in different ways, only on the first of the sextets and not every triplet ...what do you think?

      ivan paolo Hi Ivan, thanks for the comment. Yes, you have great ears, I played a little bit off this time. The music was written in straight 8 notes, but I wanted to add a little bit of "swing" feel to the melody because it was a piece of dance music.

      However, as my guitar teacher told me many years ago, I always went too far when I played music that way, but you know, it's difficult to break your bad habits. 🤣
