Well, this is incredibly embarrassing, I have completely blanked on that stream! I am terribly sorry, I will reschedule that stream to Monday next week! Again, I am so sorry!

Hey Martin, glad we're doing this one again.
I've worked on Brouwer's Preludios Epigramaticos on and off for years, and I've never come up with a good solution for this phrase from #3. The highlighted notes are the melody, which is a repeat of the opening phrase. I always struggle with bringing out the melody notes within the chords, especially the first B, balancing the sound of an open string against the notes in 7th position. If you have any ideas, I'd appreciate it!

Hi Martin,
Thanks for doing this again. This little excerpt is from Thomas Fellow's Medusa. You can find a few videos of this piece on YouTube. I like the version that Jule Malischke played.
My issues are the LH fingerings after the fermata in measure 81. The tabs are published in the score by Thomas Fellow himself. The tempo of this piece is fast, so I need to do the optimal LH fingerings.
I have seen Jule play the high E (12th fret, 1st string) with her thumb, something that I have not previously seen in classical guitar playing. I am also not sure if the A-to-E from fret 17 to fret 12 should be a pull-off.
I can really use some professional advice here.Danke,
Marc

Thanks Martin for doing this. I won't be able to join live but I'll watch the replay. There is this arrangement of a Vietnamese folk song Beo dat may troi arranged by Pongpat Pongpradit that I'm trying to learn. I've attached both my fingering and a clean copy for your reference. From bar 52 to 68. Mainly 4 problem areas that I need your advice on:
1. Was trying to connect the B to the E using 4 finger to gliss over but that will mean the not playing in time but i can't think of any better fingering to connect that 2 notes.
2. right hand using a-m-a-i to play the appregio it feels unnatural but it keeps the right hand in shape(not needing to move) not sure if I should keep it or change it.
3. 3 and 4 is the same just if you have time left check if my fingerings are something you will advise to use?
Once again thank you!
