This video was recorded in Joe’s living room in Alhambra, California on January 24, 2010. (my 6th try)
This is one of Heitor Villa-Lobos’ famous classical guitar study. It says a arpeggio study in the subtitle of the manuscript. It sounds like a study for right hand. This confuses me for quite a long time. I find out that the notes in each measure landed at terrible places. It makes me very hard to execute right hand arpeggio and I even doubt it this is a arpeggio study. There is almost no fingering on the score. It makes the left hand fingering awfully hard to figure out. There are lots of possibilities to play one single measure.
I keep changing both my left hand and right hand fingering through out my learning process. The previous 5 videos are the prove. Fingerings on each one of them are different. I can’t say my fingering is finalized in the video, but it’s workable so far. It depends on what I want to practice & improve. I may still keep changing it over time.
My current focus is a-m-i-p and p-i-m-a coordination on different “string-groups”. That means, sometimes, more than 1 stock on the same string, but the right hand still keeps the arpeggio fingering. There are some unusual string-crossings when I keep doing this way. There should be ways to improve it. But I’m keeping this fingering for my current practicing purpose.
At the last note of the 4th measure, I play a D the 1st time(I think it should be a D, the same as the 2nd note of this measure), then an E the 2nd time(It says on VL’s manuscript), because I’m not sure if there is a human mistake on Heitor Villa-Lobos’ manuscript. As a practice, my fingering ensures that it can be easily performed in both ways. I hope someone can prove what note it suppose to be.
Argentina : 1978 + 1986 = 3964
Germany : 1974 + 1990 = 3964
Brazil : 1970 + 1994 = 3964
Brazil : 1962 + 2002 = 3964
WHO?: X + 2010 = 3964
Q: Who will be the champion of FIFA World Cup 2010?
A: Solve this equation:
X + 2010 = 3964
X = 3964 – 2010
X = 1954
Q: What happened in the 1954 FIFA World Cup?
A: West Germany beat Hungary 3 to 2.
Q: What does this suggest?
A: Germany is “doomed” to win the 2010 FIFA World Cup.

The final score sometimes depends on luck.
Spain has a fabulous team this year. But look at their first game. They are just out of luck.
This pattern is not a fixed prove. We can use 3964 minus the year of every past champion team. It’s not hard to find out it doesn’t work out every single time. That’s why we still keep our faith watching each team fight its way through.
It will be nice to provide a “shortcuts” like extension which combines as many as Google application shortcuts, then user has option to switch either one ON of OFF.
So we don’t have to install pipes of extensions icons beside the address bar.
A Chrome extension called “My Shortcuts” does a pretty good job. But there is still plenty of room to improve.
