That looks really nice James. David's use of constant fingerings in the notation is a bit distracting, but helpful in figuring out a few of those voicings. He certainly is thorough. I guess that is the classical influence. Thanks for posting this. David is really doing some great work.

Your point about fingerings would be correct for, say, sight reading, but to learn how to articulate multiple voice movement where you would want to control which voices sustain while others are moving, the fingerings are critical. This is from Jimmy Wyble's approach, not just the classical approach. I have found the hard way that trying to do these w/o the fingering approach is difficult. Give it another chance!! I think you'll like it!

Hadn't thought of that, thanks for the insight!

Two minds with a similar thought: Jimmy Wyble and Johnny Smith! From this post, you can see how fingerings are critical if you want to hold certain voices; in Smith's case, for legato movement, in Wyble's case, for inner movement:
