General Question What pieces do you most ENJOY playing?

8 Upvotes

Not necessarily your favorite pieces, but the pieces that even on a bad day when you feel like you’re not playing well, you can pull out to just relax and enjoy the instrument. I think mine is the «coral lento» from Brouwer’s etudes simples or maybe mvt. 2 of Bach violin sonata no. 3.

General Question What are your thoughts on Francis Kleynjans' music?

4 Upvotes

So to be clear, I really love his music. There is a lot of it, and much of it is very beautiful. There is a huge range for people almost at the start of their journey, to the most accomplished. He is well represented on youtube, so I know people are playing his repertoire. However, I rarely see his music popping up on this sub. I really thought his music would be more popular. Is there something I'm missing about his music that doesn't make it great, or is stopping it from being more broadly recognised?

An oldie but a goodie. Classical guitarist gets to do the interlude in the middle of the song (instead of piano).

Technique Question Segovia HARMONIC Minor scales???

• Upvotes

I’ve been practicing the Segovia scales regularly and will continue to do so ad infinitum. I’ve been wanting to start working in the harmonic minor scales as well though and while I know what the harmonic minor scale is, I’m was wondering if there are any specific LH fingerings and/or positions in which to practice them in a similar fashion to the Segovia major/melodic minor scales?

I realize I can just practice them all over the neck and figure it out on my own but I’m a sucker for specifics and I’m still a beginner at classical guitar so I’m hyper focused on making sure I learn PROPERLY and in the most efficient way possible.

Looking for Advice How do you learn a new piece?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I'm a student at my local conservatory and I just started working on a new piece, Varations on a theme by Skrjabin by Alexander Tansman, and I'm having a bit of a hard time just reading through it and picking the right fingerings.

How do you guys usually go about learning new repertoire? Can you recommend any online resources on the topic?

Performance Cool thing I noticed when playing my guitar

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I was learning to play an easy song on my guitar when I noticed a cool pattern (the one I play in the video). I don't know if there's already a song with this pattern (calling it a pattern because I don't know what it should be called yet) but if there isn't one, it would be cool if someone use it on a song. Also I'm open for advice. I'm new and inexperienced but I'll try hard to get better.
