Hello Giuseppe and Goran! Thanks a lot for your kind words, I´ll work on the pieces in order not to have much mistakes.

I've loved this lesson as the music has been very beautiful and fun to play. I can see some of these becoming part of my repertoire.

Elias, you play Scarborough Fair flawlessly and with very good tone! The only thing I would suggest is to think about which notes are the melody (sometimes in the bass and sometimes in the treble) and let the melody sing through the entire piece and drive it.

Jack, you play all the pieces very well, and put together they make a nice concert! You do a great job on the scales of finding the correct upper frets with your left hand without looking at the fingerboard. Your Paganini is very nice and Scarborough Fair flows beautifully with a bell-like tone. On the Novelette, you play it well and bring out the melody and mood of the piece very effectively; one comment: I think the "hammer'ed" note (or slur) on beat 3 at the beginning of the melody is the same time value as the the note before it, I think both are eighth notes and so should be even in duration.

Giuseppe, great job on Novelette No. 3! Did you just put new strings on your guitar? The bass notes are especially crisp and sonorous. The only thing I might suggest is an even more free or rubato interpretation of the piece.
