Capricho Árabe: Inside Tárrega's Timeless Serenade
Capricho Árabe is the piece nearly every classical guitarist dreams of playing — Tárrega's serenade weaves a singing melody, rich Spanish color, and some of the most rewarding technique in the romantic guitar repertoire. In this stream we'll walk through the piece section by section: shaping the famous opening cadenza, hiding the shifts in the chromatic runs, and making the harmonics ring. You'll also get a guided tour of our brand-new Capricho Árabe track — a step-by-step path through the entire piece, just released on tonebase. Whether you're deep in the piece already or it's been sitting on your someday list, you'll leave with a clear route in. Join us live on September 14, 5pm CEST.

We go live today at 5pm CEST. Bring your questions.
On the stream: the piece section by section, shaping the opening cadenza, hiding the shifts in the chromatic runs, making the harmonics ring, plus a guided tour of the Capricho Árabe Track, step by step.
The more specific your question, the more useful the answer: a bar number, a fingering, a passage that keeps fighting back. Post it below or in the Week 2 challenge thread and we'll answer as many as we can, live.
See you at 5pm 🎸
