"any suggestions on fingerings & how to practise this piece?"
Yes. You are already playing all the notes very correctly. Now you must try to play this etude with your own interpretation. Don't play all the notes with the same volume, try to play them with more in crescendos and diminuendos, specifically on the scales. Nice play, but don't concentrate that much on the notes, but on "the music".
lol. All you overly critical guitarists. This guy plays this piece fine. Not everything has to be lightning fast to be good. Most of the people you see playing this like they're an expert have probably played it 10000 times so naturally they'll be great at it.
It's a hard study, you're doing it fine.. but it could be better... be careful with the scales, sometimes you're not realizing this study was composed by a cello player (Villalobos), the scales must sound more legato. You're doing a good job, keep working :)
Thank you for the comment... yes it needs practise to get more clear. When it comes to speed I think it sounds nice in this tempo too. Tempo doesn't really make a lot of difference in my opinion; the only ones who care are guitarists playing 3 hours of scales every day:)
I like the scales section to be very fast (for example theres a small sample of Ivan Rijos here on tube, he can make the notes run like from a machine gun) but the second section should be sensibly slower and as musical as it can be :)
The scales are easier to do if you start at a slower tempo on the high strings and pick up on the bass, and still sounds nice I'd say.
Mmmm.. I haven't heard this piece before, but my first impression was that I found it difficult to pick out the melody (maybe it's just me!!). I don't know what to suggest, apart from taking it a little slower and trying to bring out the melody more. Looks like a difficult piece, so top marks for trying.
interesting- thanks a lot for the comment... there is no 1 melody, but there are plenty of melodic elements in between all the scale runs and arpeggios, that I need to bring out clearer. Having heard other virtuosic performances it's easy to get caught up in the idea that it has do be played at a certain speed.

...you need it a bit practise, but this is a good playing
