ELITE GUITARIST - FORUM

Hello Classical Guitar Friends! You may recall that when I first started at Elite Guitarist back in April 2020, I shared in my Introduction post that I was aspiring to become a great guitarist before buying my dream guitar. Well, it is now October. I have worked diligently to become a better guitarist, and this week is my birthday. I bought the guitar, and I would like to share my efforts of the last six month with you. Here are the 20 pieces that I learned: · Be Thou My Vision · Pachelbel’s Canon in D · Un Dia en Noviembre · Girl with the Flaxen Hair · Malaguena · Torija · Greensleeves · Canco del Lladre · Romance de los Pinos · In Moments of Solitude · El Noi de la Mare · Wild Mountain Thyme · Estudio 5 (Sor) in Bm · Preludes (de Visse Suite 9) & (Segovia Lute suites) · Julia Florida · Cancion de Cuna · El Testament D’Amelia · Selva Adentro · Estudio 6 (Sor) in D · Prelude from Cello Suite (Bach) You can access them at https://tinyurl.com/y37furpt . They aren’t yet performance perfect, but I hope to polish them to that level in the next several months. I welcome your feedback generally here or please post specific responses about individual pieces in that tune’s Comments area. Yours truly, Dan

The sheet music for Leyenda indicates alternating I and m for the b on the second string for measures 1-16. Is that the way it is typically played? When I play it using i only it sounds more consistent to me. Thanks

Hi All, I very pleased to be a new member of Elite Guitarist. I'm from Hampshire in the uk and have been playing acoustic guitar for just over 20 years. A year ago i decided to start having lessons again to improve technique and I wanted to take some exams. My teacher asked me to give him a brief prior to our first lesson in which I said I was more interested in contemporary music and particularly wanted to learn fingerstyle guitar. I had said that classical music wasn't really my thing. I was therefore a bit surprised to be presented a classical piece in our first lesson....the rest is history i guess! im absolutely hooked, now he is trying to introduce modern music and to be honest i would rather stick to classical! This website is great, the selection of music is brilliant, different skill levels and challenges, expert tuition and great knowledge. Im slowly working my way through each and every piece and enjoying every minute. Thanks for having me!
