I am just starting the Brouwer studies and wanted to thank you for your posts of them. (Your discussion with rexicano will be very helpful). Also saw your video of Lauro's Valse No. 4. Lauro is a favorite of mine. Have you tried Virgilio? It is a lot of fun.
I really like your videos, you played very well, great performance, congratulations!!!. I also play, I hope we can share scores and if you need some feel free to ask. greetings.
There are many ways to try a solution but all you need to do is get rid of excess tension in you left arm from the shoulder on down.
one video shows a relaxed vibrato;
Ana Vidovic Torroba's Suite Castellana
Try moving in you seat while you play as if you were a little drunk. Sounds silly but might help. Important not to PRESS too hard and Play Chromatic scales slowly with a subtle vibrato as an exercise. If you come to San Francisco I will give you a free lesson.
@Rexicano I have been trying so hard to play vibrato but every time I try, my hand tenses up when. I've watched and studied cellists and violinists as well as guitarists, and tried to incorporate their techniques but it is not working for me. I will try my best to "be drunk" ;)
the single note playing slowly is probably the best solution.
I see vibrato as essential to most guitar music, especially Spanish music.
Patience is the only way...it takes time.
BTW; you can easily extend the Brower piece by just repeating it and also there are many ways to articulate the music besides the common arpeggio pattern.
Most can be played with tremolo or even as a samba or mixing all these. It's a perfect piece to improvise on.
@Rexicano Yes, I have tried playing this several ways, repeating some sections. But I wanted to stay true to the score for recording purposes. I have been working on the vibrato though, and it is still very hard. Especially on the first string. And trying to play them at different speeds is hard. I mean, the higher the notes (especially by the soundhole) the faster you have to move and the lower notes by the nut has to be wider and slower. And it also depends on the piece too. :(
Brower does not mind altering it; I met him and asked.
It's too short as is so it needs the repeat. Forget Classical purity; it's a trap.
Take the vibrato slowly; trying too hard is as bad as not practicing enough.
Make sure your thumb pressure is light and keep it opposite the 2nd finger most of the time (on other side of neck). you cannot always do vibrato everywhere like on the first chord but there are many places it helps this piece. I like Bream and Parkening's vibrato a lot.
Truly a beautiful piece, you play dynamically and with great emotion! I see the red thing on your arm, are you practicing too much? Remember to rest, I have noticed myself what happens otherwise....Pain! lol
I always put it on when I wear short sleeve shirts so my arm doesn't stick to the guitar. This way, I can move around my arm when I want to play different timbres. It works great! You should give it a try.
great piece, i never noticed it but randy rhoads used pretty much the same chords in diary of madman for the intro

One of the best versions I've seen of this piece but it's crying out for more vibrato. You have just a very little added and it can take a lot more.
