Rene Izquierdo: Workshop and Excerpt Masterclass III (Mar 27th) Questions / Suggestions
By popular demand Rene Izquierdo will be answering your questions from the chat and accept short recorded excerpts AGAIN from you for a unique, tailor-made masterclass experience!
To make this helpful to as many people as possible, we suggest sending in excerpts of single passages, up to 30 seconds in length. This also takes the pressure off of having to perform an entire piece at a time.
PLEASE ADD A SCORE OF YOUR RECORDING AS WELL!
If you do want to send in a full recording, that's fine! Let us know what timestamp (minute & second) you would like us to focus on, so we can pay special attention to those.
In addition, you are most certainly open to send in text questions before the masterclass using this very thread!
The format for sending in videos is the same as in all tonebase public masterclasses:
- Submit right here, by replying to this thread!
- (Alternatively, send me your video submission at [email protected])
- You can either attach a video directly from your computer, or paste a link to a YouTube video
- (If you opt to use a YouTube video, it can be unlisted - no need to make it public!)

- What questions do you have for him?
- Any particular area you would like him to focus on?
Forum questions will be answered first!

First we would like to take a look at the videos that have already been submitted for the last excerpt masterclass but didn't discuss as we ran out of time!
Derek Eric please let us know if you still wish your video from last month's workshop to be discussed or if you want to submit something new!
-
martin Hi Martin - I'd like to submit something new please. I' have a couple of things in mind so I will post another video by the end of the week. Thank you very much.
-
Derek Alright, noted!
-
martin Yes, absolutely! I would love to hear from Rene about the short video I submitted last month! Here it is again, if that is helpful. I was particularly asking about the trill right before the deceptive cadence in bar 11. I find the fingering really tricky. But I would love to hear any thoughts he has on the piece in general, as I know it is a piece with which he is very familiar. Thanks so much!
-
Eric Awesome, thank you re-submitting your video with the score, I look forward to Rene's advises!
-
Eric great choice. I am also very much looking forward to Rene’s views on the piece.

Hi Martin, if there is room I wanted an opinion from Rene, on the tension of the left hand, after many tests with vibrations, mute and various notes at the end there is this tremor, I do not have Parkinson's
Thanks
-
Giuseppe Gasparini Grazie Guiseppe, we will take a look at this

I have a question for Rene regarding developing picado speed. Does he have any tips for coordination with the left hand? I seem to be able to alternate i and m in the right hand faster than my left hand can keep up so this is limiting the speed at which I can play scales. Thank you!
-
Jaime Great, thank you for that submission! He is an expert on "reflexive speed", so I am sure Rene will have helpful advice on speed and coordination for you!

Regarding my post above, hopefully this video will show what I mean:

Hi Martin
Hers is my alternative video.
It is a simple exercise by Tarrega. I would like Rene to comment on my left hand position, in particular when playing higher than the 12th fret.
Thank you both very much Derek
-
Derek Wonderful, thank you for your submission!!

So I have a bit smaller hands and while I try certain pieces and practice and warm up, there is one piece and location in particular that I struggle with...bar 37-39 of Leyenda! Is there an alternate fingering for this perhaps?
-
Chris Hi Chris, maybe Rene will need a sheet so he can quickly know what bar 37-39 you are refering to look like? :)
-
Khiem Nguyen yes! So sorry! I hope this comes through okay.

hello i was working Rodrigo's Zapateado according to Rene's guidelines in a master of the tonebase .... I took some notes but the master was retained from the tonebase not and why could I give some tips that were presented in the master namely
1-fingered from bar 1-8
2- some slurs that Rene proposed to cut at the time
3- Beginning of the part in Mi M (chords)
finally everything that is useful to work the piece
thanks and i look forward to seeing the master again on the tonebase because it was very good and useful -
Rene has mentioned Pujol's studio 1 (end of book 2) a few times. I have trouble right in te beginning. End of measure one beginning measure two where the righthand fingering is 1,2,4,3,4. 3 wil not place accurately and 4 lifts not effortlessly. Is at advisable to place 3 and 4 at the same time and not is sequence? Can Rene please gives me pointers to how to practice this piece. You mentioned palm touching nek. What wil improve accuracy and speed? Thank you
-
Hello, I wanted to congratulate master Rene, from a video he dressed and corrected the wrong posture, in two days I solved the problem, Thanks
-
Giuseppe Gasparini that is so awesome, I am very happy to hear that!

End of the Year Challenge: Finish Strong!
