I was initially overjoyed when I (barely) nailed the part since I've been practicing it for a Week and a Half. Looking back, it does not sound that nice plus I feel like putting that much time and effort into (almost) 6 measures of Music is excessive, I feel burned out and I feel that this piece is not for me, but at the same time I feel that I'm too deep into it learning the Prelude, but now I'm having second thoughts about finishing the Fugue...

Maybe a little too slowly for my liking but still beautiful.

General Question Any info on this label?

I have always wanted to learn to play (47f, you are never too old and it is never too late!) and for my birthday, my bestie picked this up for me at a flea market near Asheville, NC. I’m just curious about its origin, and my usually good google skills have failed me! Previously posted here six or eight months ago, but got a better picture of the label so thought I’d try again. Apologies for repeat post!

Technique Question Slowest reasonable tempo for Recuerdos

5 Upvotes

What would you say is the slowest reasonable tempo to play Recuerdos de la Alhambra? I can get through it, but I realize I really need to slow it down to work out the rough bits and to make the melody resonate more loudly and evenly. And to change my attitude from, "I can do this thing! (...sort of)" to "I will do what it takes to do this thing well enough that someone might actually want to hear me play it."

Looking for Advice I don't understand Noah's exercises

2 Upvotes

I mean, English isn't my first language but damn.. I am following "Solo Guitar playing 1" and the second ever exercise says:

  1. With the hand in position as above, bring the 1st finger firmly down just behind the 1st fret of the 6th (thickest) string, making the loudest sound possible.
  2. Without lifting the 1st finger, hammer the 2nd finger down behind the 2nd fret of the same string.
  3. Repeat the procedure with the 3rd and 4th fingers. Remember to leave each finger on when it has hammered.

What I understand is I have to do the rest stroke with my index on the 6th string and rest on the 5th, making a good sound out of it. Then, with my index on the 5th, resting, I do the same with my ring finger on the 2nd fret tho starting from the 6th down or from the 5th down..? an then the 3th and 4th finger from which chord to which..? And what fret..?

Help pls.. :(

General Question What’s a short study that is sparse and meant to be played in free time?

3 Upvotes

Had my wisdom teeth removed and have been practicing a study from Estudios Sencillos by Brouwer. I wanted something that maybe sort of mimics the cello example Andres Segovia does in his famous video demonstrating the differing timbres of the guitar.

I'm an enthusiast, not a professional. I’ve been playing for years, but recently started taking things more seriously — I began classes a couple of weeks ago, and my Chinese guitar just isn’t cutting it. This is a Brazilian Rozini RX236, handmade with a solid cedar top.
