Pepe Romero Strings
Has anybody used Pepe Romero strings or other rectified nylon strings? Thoughts? I have heard that the rectified nylon makes for a warm sound.
Repertoire Metrics Chart
Some years ago, I created a Metrics Chart (or Metrics Grid) which I use to assess my progress in learning a piece. It is attached here for your free use, sharing, and whatnot. Excel and PDF copies.

I like this. By the way, I visited GSI this last week... a needed half day break from Disneyland. I was the only one there and spent a few hours with David Collett. What a great experience playing several guitars in my price range. Then he gave me a little tour of the place. Being from the SLC area, he showed me the original works of Segovia found in a box in Uruguay. He said you catalogued the contents of the box, since you are a Segovia expert and guitar historian. Awesome!!! It was inspiring to see the original score handwritten by Segovia. Wow! You should host a classical guitar lecture at one of the local libraries to share your knowledge. I think there would be a few people interested in hearing your expertise.

@David Norton that would be awesome!! I would love to meet up learn the story behind the box!!
One or more classical instruments
What is the best route to becoming the best player I can. Is it to play one guitar most of the time to really get to know it or rotate several different ones to just enjoy their different quirks? Any thoughts please?

I play my Dominelli the most, but I love my Vicente Carrillo as well. Then my Bernabe is a loud boomer, I call it El Trueno.... and I have a Justin Leslie concert model that is surprisingly great sounding....and smells fabulous... so you can see my dilemma, I love playing them all!!!
How often do you change your guitar strings?
I don't want to start a debate on the quality or the longevity of strings 😅, just want to know what your habit is. Answer the poll!

It seems like I change when I want to try a new type of strings. I'm that guy, always looking for something different.
Recording anxiety
Is it normal to have performance anxiety when simply trying to record myself playing or practicing? I often think I am playing certain pieces well then as soon as I hit "record" it all falls apart. Anyone have ideas or advice to make it easier to record?

Pressure always adds difficulty to any experience. Mistakes happen, so try not to let them impact your experience.
