Technique Exercise: Octaves

Here is the sixth of a series of technique exercises I've dedicated to the guitar. This is a combined warm-up exercise for both hands, but I would suggest starting off with the R hand first (see below exer. 3 and 4). Nevertheless I sometimes might start my daily warm up with the L hand. In this case I would work on exer. 1 and 2 making sure my thumb is always opposite finger 2, and moving my fingers and not my hand.

Exer. 5-8 are variations for the R hand that may inspire you to find different formulas for different musical/technical needs. After combining both hands, I would recommend varying the tempo, dynamics as well as the position you practice the octaves in with the help of a capo.

SFSU GUITAR RECITAL 04-28-2017

After having recently won a scholarship at San Francisco State University, where I am working on a two year Master of Music program(emphasis in Classical Performance),SFSU Master-Music Program I had the pleasure of performing on campus at the Knuth Hall. I must admit that my Alvarez guitar responded wonderfully in an authentic auditorium. I will be performing my own guitar recital next semester which

I'm looking forward to already. April 28th was the official premier of David Gonzalez's Preludio en Forma de Rondó.
