I prefer to practice scales in pairs, but sometimes I have to adapt to the requirements of the music.

I never warm up before playing guitar.

In my music, I avoid standard major and minor tonalities, often using poly-modal harmonies instead.

My music is non-standard because I don't prioritize melodies; instead, I focus on harmony, tension, and other aspects that support the melody.

I prefer to warm up with easier pieces before tackling more difficult music to protect my hands.

Rhythm is not important in my piece, and I often focus on the flow rather than strict rhythmic structures.

In my approach to playing harpsichord music on guitar, I try to avoid cross-string trills unless the piece was originally written for instruments like the lute or theorbo.

It's essential to maintain a comfortable feeling while playing scales, ensuring that both hands work harmoniously together. I always start my practice with simple exercises to build comfort and familiarity.

When I began playing guitar, I practiced pieces by Giuliani, Sor, Carulli, and Carcassi because my teacher recommended them, and they form the basis of technique and tonality in classical music.
