In this video I am practicing Cavatina by Stanley Myers whom the song was adapted to guitar by John Williams. In this video i played the song in a much slower tempo and it worked. I managed to play pretty fluently although it could still obviously be much better. I am going to fix my nylon guitar and start practicing using that because that guitar is what i am going to use to perform the song at the day of the assessment.

This is me practicing Cavatina by Stanley Myers with arrangements by John Williams. In this video my playing was not fluent and needs a lot of improvement. The notes are not heard partly due to the steel strings. My fingers aren't strong enough yet to bar them but i should do fine on nylon. On the next practice i'll try and play it slower and hopefully more fluent.

This is me practicing the Hungarian Dance No. 5 by Johannes Brahms. In this video i am playing at normal speed and the sense of mysteriousness in the piece really shows. I though i played fluently in this video but i will still practice more to better myself. I will try and learn the other parts but if i cant manage it i'll just perform this part of the piece and repeat it.

This is me practicing the romantic piece composed by Johannes Brahms. The piece is called Hungarian Dance No. 5. It is pretty tough and being able to play parts of it is very satisfying. In this video i am playing it slowly as to be able to get the tempo and each note right. I thought i did well but i could still improve more.

This is a video of me practicing lullaby by Johannes Brahms. I found out that this song was considered to be a romantic era song so i opted to do this instead as it is both simple and beautiful to play. Here i did not memorize much of the song so i read the tabs for it on the internet. Next i am going to start memorizing the songs.

This is a video of me practicing lullaby by Johannes Brahms. I memorized parts of the song and played it twice in this video. I think my playing was good and was fluent. However much improvement could still be made and i am going to work on that.

This is me practicing the moonlight sonata by Ludwig Van Beethoven. I am planning on doing this for my guitar playing assessment. It is hard but i will try my best to do it properly and well. This is a video of me doing the first few bars of the song. Over the next few days i will keep on practicing and hopefully be able to play the whole song fluently.

This is me practicing the deer hunter soundtrack again. After weeks of training i still haven't got the hang of it so i don't think i'll be doing this for the assessment. I am interested in doing moonlight sonata for my assessment and hopefully i can accomplish that. In this video my playing was not that fluent and needs a lot more practice.
