This is a little better than last night.

The h armonic variation.
If your nails are too long, you are bound to be clicky with this technique. Notwithstanding, if you’re playing too strongly with ‘m’ the harmonic voice will be over shadowed. There is also the risk of tapping the feet board with ‘m’.

Final variation on Milan’s sixth pavan by Joaquin Nin-Culmell.
I’m less than half pleased with this recording, but, given the duties I have taken on lately, that’s all I had time for today.
Enjoy my suffering. Lol
I worked on this Llobet variation a lot with the metronome today. I have an issue with clicking on this variation. Playing with p and i rapidly and consecutively on the 2nd string seems to bring about clicking. I have noticed that if I play with a lighter feel on the trebles this problem is lessened.
The boxes and plastic in the background are there because my home is still being repaired after it was damaged by Hurricane Michael, nearly a year ago on October 10. Despite living in a torn up world, I still have to practice, and I believe the challenge of making a video most days of the week will help me keep to focus on my practice.

This is an excerpt from Pavan No 1 by Luis Milan. In this video I stop at a scale that I am debating on whether to play with or without slurs. I think I like it with the slurs.

Believe it or not, this is one of the variations I actually feel better about. It needs to feel 20x better, but that’s the point of this blog. Documenting progress.
28, part 2
I did three takes and I’m sharing the better of the two today. Milan Pavan 3.
Just trying pay through the piece without stopping, without fixing buzz notes and other things. As long as it sounds halfway decent. Only focusing on the order and sections of the piece. If it’s all pretty much in order, that is the goal.

Patching this minuetto by Francisco Tárrega. Says to play the entire piece with pizz. It’s so tempting to play normally.
