Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes
@Peg Barrett I actually really like #12 too. On paper (or computer screen), it just looks like a simple arpeggio moving up and down. But when you hear it,…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes
@Elizabeth Uyehara Good work, Elizabeth! Doing just one etude, or even one part of one etude, for the whole challenge is great. Practicing each one of these really well could easily last months.…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes
Study 21 Initial Run Through. I had never played or even heard this one prior to this challenge. When I played a few measures of it last week, I loved it and put it on my list of pieces I'd like to…

Re: Interactive Class: Shifts and Scales!
I'm afraid I will have to miss this one, as I am back at work. 😥😭 It's looks like the Hand Doctor is expanding now to elbows and pects!

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes
Study 9 update. I'm trying to add a bit more musicality and contrast to this now. Martin suggested a more staccato approach, so in the A sections (beginning and end) I am playing the bass notes…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes
@Emma Well, I’m not saying it’s great, but I’m feeling like moving on. I said that, however, before Martin did his video about thumb placement on this etude,…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes
@Peg Well, I'm finding 9 particularly fun to play. Martin didn't put that in the difficulty chart, but I'd say it's intermediate. I'm planning to work on 21 soon.…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes
@Martin Thanks for making this great tutorial as well, Martin. Here's the way I've always played this one. I don't like playing the accompaniment with i and m, but rather p and i,…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes
@Martin I loved Martin's fingerings so much that I just had to give them a try. The fingering he gave for measure 15 is particularly mind-blowing 🤯. The only one I chose not to do is the barre…

@Barney Thanks Barney! As a teacher still on summer vacation, I have more time to play right now. Needless to say, that changes really soon!

@Martin Hey Martin, Thank you so much for making this video tutorial. I would really like to be able to do what you suggest (i.e. place the thumb when playing an arpeggio).…

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes
@Barney Great job, Barney, I’m glad you chimed in! Really clear separation of melody and accompaniment. This one has some really interesting harmonies.

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes
@Khiem Nguyen Wow! Martin just posted his video a few hours ago, and you are already playing the new fingerings very well. I love the legato sound!

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes
@Martin I keep saying this, but some day I need to buckle down and get ready for the start of school. It’s just SO HARD to put down the guitar, though! Can Tonebase pay me to do these challenges? 😄

Re: WEEK 1: Exploring Carcassi's Etudes
@Martin I’ll be honest, I am barely giving any thought at all to my right hand. I know I repeat the a finger a lot, like a bad habit. As for the a-i scales, that often just feels more natural to me,…
