RE: Anyone want technique exercises?... (in reply to Grisha)

jg, you are right. I can only get punchy scales up to about 220-225. After that they become softer.

No, what you said is absolutely right. I agree with you. It's been a while since I practiced scales and maybe I can get that punch into the faster ones as well. Cheers!

I'm hungry and coming after you in pure speed so you better watch out!

The wolf at the top of the hill is not as hungry as the wolf climbing the hill.

Grisha, I did this video a very long time ago and was wondering if you could tell me about how fast is the run in the tarantas, not the tangos. Thnx.

Yeah, I took that line from the movie Florian. I couldn't come up with a different one. Kinda cheesy but oh well.

Rain, it is actually from a taranto called "Virgen del Mar". at_leo_87, after watching his 1 minute plus scale marathon and who knows what other powers he has up his sleeve, I might just go back to playing Carcassi etudes.

Grisha, I thought it could have been a bit more tasteful. It kind of reminds me of Legnani's caprices. Maybe I'll put it back adding a descending run.
