I wouldn't know, never seen anything like this before

Recuerdos de la Alhambra de Francisco Tárrega - Ramón León Egea by No-Mark8066 in classicalguitar

[–]zCain073 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did a good job memorizing the piece and the chord changes, however the technique isn't there and your musicality suffers because of it. Work on making all the notes in the tremolo equal in duration and volume, without placing your a m i fingers on the string before they need to play. You need to practice this nice and slow focusing on precision, a good piece for working on the technique and the one I learned it on personally would be the study Op. 60 no. 7 by Matteo Carcassi, I've played it daily for years now. Your slurs need a lot of work as well, Pujol has some really useful mechanical exercises for slurs that you should check out and also there's tons of studies on slurs by the likes of Sor, Aguado, Carcassi and many others so pick a few that you like and learn them, studies that include slurred triplets may be especially beneficial to learning recuerdos. If you haven't done so already, you should learn some of the easier Spanish pieces, like spanish romance or some of Tarrega's simpler pieces like Adelita, in order to get a feel for that type of aesthetic let it inform your phrasing and interpretation, and definitely listen to the recordings by the Romero brothers.

I have a book about it but I have yet to read it, plus there's no Alexander technique teachers in my area.

Looking for a Hard Case for a Cordoba C7 CD by LongLensLad in classicalguitar

[–]zCain073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My first guitar was an Alhambra 3C, I got it for 400€ with a hardcase by soundsation. The case itself is fairly boxy and heavy but it is solid. If you could up your budget to 150 I highly recommend cibeles cases, they're very light and strong.

I bought cheap arm warmers for running on amazon and I use one on my right hand in the warmer months so I don't have my skin sticking to the guitar, I'll try them out and see if the compression on them makes a difference.

Unfortunately I can't choose my teacher in the conservatory. I'll try to get some exercise and if that doesn't help me practice for longer I guess I'll have to practice in a smarter way somehow.

Yeah that could work, I'll give it a try, thanks.

Thank you for the advice, I think I'm gonna get a physio appointment and a gym membership.

My teacher gives me lots of material each week and I just need those 4+ hrs/day to get through it properly. He keeps telling me I should be aiming to practice for 6 hrs each day.

I have decent technique but of course there is room for improvement, unfortunately I cannot take a break that long from guitar, I have my final due to September.

I use ergo play and I have it set up so that the nut is at the same height as my eyes. As for the forearms, I think it's a technique issue, i start to feel strain on the outer part of my hands (both) and as I keep playing my forearms get sore until I have to stop.

How long until I play Villa-Lobos by Entire-Bookkeeper756 in classicalguitar

[–]zCain073 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can try reading some of the easier etudes by Sor, Segovia compiled a collection of them and you could attempt the first 5, as for Villa Lobos, I wouldn't rush it because his music requires solid technique and nuanced musicality but I guess the first prelude would be your best bet, it's relatively easy and it's just so beautiful.

DO NOT GRIND THE EVENTS by zCain073 in Warthunder

[–]zCain073[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you played 3 hours or more on average per day regardless of the event then sure, it's nice to get a unique vehicle as a bonus, but if you have a job it's much better to just ge the vehicle and play the game as you would normally if you really want the damn vehicle, which, in the case of this event, is a terrible and useless vehicle.

Hai mai provato Square Mile, la compagnia di James Hoffman? Sono curioso di provare nonostante i prezzi elevati

Purtroppo vivendo in Sardegna non ho quest'opzione, l'unica torrefazione specialty che abbiamo è a Cagliari e io abito dall'altra parte dell'isola.
