Domenico Scarlatti (Sonata in A K.322/L.483)

in Classical Guitar

Piece is Sonata in A (K.322/L.483) by Domenico Scarlatti - Arr. Thomas Koenigs

(1) With this 'trill' (circled in red) do I hammer on and pull off with the 4 starting on 'E' and 1 on 'D'?

(2) Then slide back to the C# with the 1......is the C# created with just the slide or should I slide and pick the C# with my right hand finger?

(3) Also two bars along the music 'trill' indicates 41 and not 4141 as before....is there a specific reason for this?

Any advice much appreciated ;-)

Hi Tavi

Many many thanks for not only replying but taking the time to provide video advice/instruction. I totally agree with your advice and will be checking out the intermediate tutorial that covers trills!

This version is printed in the current Trinity guitar syllabus grade 8 exam pieces and providing a real good challenge....but loving it........hopefully I can master the cross-string trills and put a video up of the first section at least....btw one of my other pieces is the vals venezolano 2 and your tutorial has been invaluable for me getting through this...just working on making it less 'clunky' at present ;-)

Once again many thanks!
