Doing some metronome work with Rodrigo’s Fandango. It is easy to speed up the quarterly chords if you’re not careful. Likewise, it can be hard not to slow everything else down.

I am recording and using the metronome all on my phone here. My house is much improved since Hurricane Michael, but most things are still boxed up. One day I’ll find my metronome.

This the beginning of Tarrega’s ¡Sueño! tremolo. It’s very hard to play up to tempo, and make sure the first chords are clean. These things I wish to V improve upon. I’m not Halen with tempo or clarity of chords here.

Day 14

Quite under tempo, this is an excerpt from the ending of Innocent Meandering by Harold Blanchard.

I created this blog to share what I learn while practice, but also because something strange happened with my old blog and it started following people I had no idea about. I’m back up here.

It’s been a year since I my home was severely damaged by Hurricane Michael. I have been completely moved out of my home for five months not. It took six months for work to begin on the house.

Anyway, two weeks before I was completely moved out of my home, I had tried to begin the “100 days of practice” challenge that some people have done on the Internet. They post a video of what they’re working for 100 days. I’ve seen some people skip a day or two and pick it back up , but not near as long a break as I had after I moved completely out of my home. So, I’m going to try something similar now that I am practicing more. I have a concert in 83 days. I hope to find time to post a video most everyday between now and then. If I make a goal of 100 days, this will keep me inspired to work hard even the day after my recital and so on. I hope to do better with it this time.

In this video, I am playing an excerpt from a caprice by Luigi Legnani.

P i m/a exercise, etude for classical guitar.

Dear #classicalguitarists, what are some fun exercises and etudes for developing a solid p, i, a triplet in the right hand?

For instance, Asturias, Llobet Folias (3 & 4), Brouwer Estudio Sencillo no 4, Giuliani No. 2.Any suggestions and advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

These Milan Pavans are harder than they look/sound.

I swear to change strings soon. Haven’t had much time to lately with unfortunate circumstances. Often don’t start practicing until I’m tired.
