Carcassi — Étude No. 10, Op. 60 (Free Solo Edition)
About the piece: Étude No. 10 is built around slurred figures — hammer-ons and pull-offs — played on the first string, layered with left-hand position shifts up and down the treble strings. The challenge is keeping the slurs even and clearly articulated while the fretting hand keeps traveling to new positions, without the tone thinning out or the shifts becoming audible. It’s a compact study in left-hand fluency across the neck.
