After just over four months of blood, sweat, and severe left-hand muscle aches, I've finally memorized the chord positions for Romance!
Last week, I decided it was time I stopped feeling so defeated and sorry for myself, get right down to business, and just learn the piece. It was a royal pain in the ass, but I finally did it! Now, I begin the process of refining and adding musicality (feeling) to it.
After congratulating me on my progress, last night, my teacher noted that it's my first official piece of repertoire. I hadn't realized it until he said something, but Romance isn't an arpeggio exercise. It's a very common piece for Classical guitar, and is still played by guitarists worldwide.
Cool. :)
