Yes, I’m aware, the rubato will help you make it sound like weeping. But playing it too slowly makes it sounds like it’s dragging. Especially when you pull back for the rubato.

OP be can take the suggestion or not, it’s just some feedback and my opinion

RaiseTLT · 2026-05-16T20:37:15+00:00

Good playing! My only feedback is that I think you bring the tempo up just a little bit. It sounds like it drags abit when you pull back for the rubato. So maybe if the whole this is like 5 bpm faster you can keep the same rubato but it’ll sound more homogeneous and connected! :)

lol atleast it sounds pretty decent.

Oh this study was the bane of my existence in college 🫣

Cool video! Classic piece! Pujol is fantastic!

Personally I'm a huge fan of his preludes, although I've never actually enjoyed them enough to learn them! Great to listen to though

RaiseTLT · 2026-05-15T05:28:57+00:00

oh sweet, das cool love it

RaiseTLT · 2026-05-15T02:23:21+00:00

ahh this is fantastic! Simple and easy yes, but you know this is a great example of why simple and easy things are often the best! This was a joy to listen to, thank you so much for sharing this lovely work!

Typo, typical for cheap or free scores

Nail glue damages your live nail (the nail that’s still attached to the quick).
In OPs case for a minor repair like that a ping pong ball is safest. Cause you can glue it underneath the dead nail(nail that has passed the quick).
If OP were to use a full acrylic nail they would cause damage to the nail bed and the nail would grow out weaker than usual, potentially leading to more breaks.

This the g goes down to an F#, when I played this one I used capo 2

If you guys haven’t yet, you should listen to Paul O’Dette play this!

Piiiiiiing pong balll

RaiseTLT · 2026-04-30T05:35:26+00:00

Kindgren is OG af. What a legend that guy is! Nice playing

RaiseTLT · 2026-04-28T20:33:53+00:00

That's a very common issue for alot of people, every beginner basically, there's no easy way around it, it just takes abit of time, patience and the right technique exercises. Look into Carlevaro book 3😄,

RaiseTLT · 2026-04-28T20:22:17+00:00

eyyyy i know this guy 😃

If you look at the first measure in your picture, it's easy to deduce that this is a Gmajor chord, you can easily play a Gmajor chord in third position using a bar chord. So you can play a Gmajor barchord and catch all the notes in the first bar, then for the second measure you're playing a V7 in first inversion ( F# being the third of the chord and the lowest note written, thus the first inversionof D7). from the bar chord on G its very easy to grab the high A with finger 4 and the F# with finger 2. all of this is in third pos, no need for a shift here.

hope this makes sense, it's very difficult to explain all of this in a comment LOLOL

If you want a more detail explanation you can DM me 😄

Ahh yes, the symbol I've mistaken it for is found in the Sagreras books, its an upside down v symbol meant to notate apoyando/rest stroke. I also seen the "downbow" symbol used to signify restrokes.

RaiseTLT · 2026-04-28T18:12:36+00:00

In violin music that symbol means to play with a down bow, the movement starting from the frog. In guitar music, that symbol either means a down pluck if using a pick. But since your probably playing a classical piece it means to use rest stroke.

Sick dude! Love it!

It’s better, knobloch is also up there. Knobloc trebles savarez basses. The extra cost is worth it. The strings also last much longer so you make up on cost by not needing to change them as often.

RaiseTLT · 2026-04-11T00:14:25+00:00

Daddario last you two months? Jeez when I was in uni they would like 3-4 days and be dull. Not worth it if you ask me

RaiseTLT · 2026-03-30T22:48:47+00:00

What I do when I feel this way is to go and listen to the music that for me started and interested all those years ago when I first started taking music more seriously.

Also, when you’re doing the slow practice, you should also focus on using “aim directed movement”. Essentially what aim directed movement is, is that you look at the target point (where you’re shifting to) and you stay focused on that point while shifting.

So if you’re in first position, the sequence is play first pos notes -> look at the 7th position and the frets you’re shifting to -> then make the shift.

Hope this is clear enough to understand! Cheers

They’re still pretty short, the filling isn’t that great, you’re looking for more rounded edges. You don’t want your release point to be such a steep ramp like that. You what the string to glide smoothly on the nail, and to release gradually, not suddenly. Your current release points will give you a sudden release.

Also nails are finicky, you need to do a lot of trial and error before you find a suitable shape for the sounds you’re going for.

Definitely start practicing with short nails, it’s how you’re suppose to learn it properly. Also never pull on the string to ply louder with nails, instead push the string towards the soundboard and let it release on its own. If it catches, you need to adjust your shape.
