Why are your opening strokes like wacking at the drum? Doesn't seem very musical or technically correct.

I guess my chops weren't that good :) There's a lot of things I would do differently now. These videos were just posted for reference. When I posted them a few years ago no one else had the Carters up and people were asking for tips so I just posted them. They are by no means close to perfect, but I guess they can serve as means as to what not to do :) Like whacking the drums in the beginning LOL.

this piece is freakin SCARY when you look at it.

nicely done though :]

[linguamortua]

Thanks! It's pretty fun though. Don't let it scare you.

I've done March, Saeta, Canaries, and Improvisation. They are all posted here on youtube.

In fact the only ones I still have to do are March and Saeta.

I have some vids ready now but only Canaries and Moto Perpetuo. I have an exam in a week that I have to play this stuff at. I'm also going to play as a concert the whole program the day before. Hopefully I'll get it recorded so I can put it up.

Do try it though. To start just try the first two lines and see if you can play. That's the hardest part actually so if you can play that you can do the whole thing without a problem.

Is that the only one of these 8 pieces you haven't done?

[linguamortua]

You know, I'm going to tackle that someday. Post a vid when ready man. Keep in touch.

It's not too bad actually. Just do it slowly at first and work out the best sticking. Then raise the tempo bit by bit.

I can't play it with total finesse but it's not impossible to play.

[linguamortua]

Nah, my teacher adviced me to stay away from that one unless I wanted a headache LOL. Maybe you ought to try it. I might try it in the future.
