Re: When is your favorite time of day to Practice?
@Matt Hall My posts had tons of typos until I learned you can edit them after posting them. If only I could do that with my playing!

Re: When is your favorite time of day to Practice?
@Rick ruhl Whenever my wife asks me, “What would you like to do for Father’s Day?” I always want to say, “Play guitar all day with nobody else in the house.” But that might not go over too well.

@Steve Price Great work, Steve! I hadn’t heard either of those before. The Brouwer is especially impressive.

Re: When is your favorite time of day to Practice?
@Blaise Laflamme Wow, I wish I could be so well organized with my practice routine. In my job, I am ridiculously well organized, but when it comes to the guitar, I am so all over the place. 😜

Re: When is your favorite time of day to Practice?
@Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise, you are an inspiration as well! I got into TB for the huge library of lessons, but it’s the community and people like you that keep me going on the musical journey.

Re: When is your favorite time of day to Practice?
If I have my druthers, I prefer to practice in the early morning. I have always been a morning person. That said, as a full time high school teacher, husband,…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations 🥁🎸
Poulenc - Sarabande for Guitar (May 12 update) I tried to add more dynamics today. I also did a few small things in the fingerings to try to make it more legato and have less string squeak (although…

Sor - Valse Op 47 No 6 For the last several weeks, I have been working through Sor's opus 47 over in the practice diary. I am now on this last piece, and since it's a waltz,…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations 🥁🎸
@Wai Thanks, Wai. I think the vast majority of Renaissance and Baroque pieces could fall into the category of song and dance. Let's hear what you are working on.

@Jack Stewart Thank you, Jack. I have listened to Sanel Redzic's performance quite a lot. His attention to detail is just astounding, and I'm sure I don't even catch half of the special things he…

Re: Video(s) of the day/week/month
@David Krupka Yes, maybe that's why a Tonebase Team choice might be the best way. Who knows, maybe it could even be posted onto the Tonebase YT channel (with permission, of course).…

Re: Video(s) of the day/week/month
I like the idea, but I would worry a bit about how it's chosen. I would want everyone to always feel valued, never judged. I would want it to be more about variety, inclusion,…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations 🥁🎸
@Steve Pederson Thanks, Steve. Like I said, I think calling this a dance piece is a bit of a stretch, although it does have a definite sense of pulse. I really just wanted to work on it because I…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations 🥁🎸
@Steve Price Thanks, Steve. Yes, the fingering in the Ricordi version is a mixed bag. I always prefer unfingered scores, so I can add my own and not have the score be too cluttered with cross-outs.…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations 🥁🎸
@David Krupka Thank you, David. I tried to make the ending a little more interesting by plucking at the 12th fret. Yes, wouldn't it be great to have more guitar music from Poulenc?…

Re: Week 1: Rhythmic Revelations 🥁🎸
Poulenc - Sarabande for Guitar (May 11) Okay, it's a stretch to call this piece "dance" music, but I have been wanting to play it, and unless I am mistaken, I think the Sarabande is a dance.…

Re: Fernando Sor - Six Petite Pieces Op 47
Cantabile Op 47 No 5 Another update for this. I have it memorized now. Definitely some improvement, but it is slow (and I am feeling impatient). Measures 25-39 feel a little better, but still insecure

Re: Fernando Sor - Six Petite Pieces Op 47
Cantabile Op 47 No 5 I finally feel ready to start putting this whole piece together, which I have done in this video. Measures 25-39 are still pretty poor, but I think with more practice,…

Re: Week 3: Fingers on Fire 🔥
@Khiem Nguyen Sounds great! In my my opinion, Mateusz Kowalski is the best guitarist out there for playing Chopin. Maybe listening to him could give you some ideas.

Re: Week 3: Fingers on Fire 🔥
@Khiem Nguyen Thanks, Khiem. I noticed that, when playing rest strokes, a small amount of the guitar's resonance was dampened by touching the adjacent lower string.…
