hi!

are you familiar with the rest sroke....rest stroke is when u rest you're finger on the adjacent string...example: when u pluck the 1st string with ur anular finger...youre anular finger will rest on the 2nd string...giving a warm and beautiful sound...and the sound will have force...its not about loudness of the melody...its about force..giving the melody its independence to the accompaniment...its like listening to two guitars playing...every classical guitarist uses rest stroke...

if you find it very dificult to apply this in cavatina...try playing romance the amour with the rest stroke...

cavatina is not an easy piece to play...the melody is very beautiful and the accompaniment is in arpeggio style....

when you play cavatina...always remember that the accompaninent should be played low...the melody is the boss...the melody should be played loud than the accompaniment...how to do this? simple! play the accompaninent just like touching the string, dont give force to it...dont pluck it hard just pluck it soft...in the melody...pluck it with force...

use rest stroke in the melody....

i know its very complicated for you... but always try harder so that you will be able to play better than you are before...

thanks...
