Re: Week 4: Harvest Melodies @Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. It's just the microphone that's built into the iPad. There is no USB port to use.

Re: Week 3: Whispers of Nostalgia @Blaise Laflamme Thanks, Blaise. It’s my same USB microphone. I didn’t even try using the laptop microphone, since they are usually pretty bad and meant to record a voice.…

Re: Week 3: Whispers of Nostalgia @Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary It's sounding great! I like how you really take your time between phrases, giving each one plenty of space. Your fretting hand (I assume your left hand and the video is reversed?…

Re: Week 3: Whispers of Nostalgia Shand - Il Pensieroso Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I settled in on a more difficult piece, and this is really the first time I am able to play it straight through.…

Re: What livestreams would you like to see on tonebase? A while back, we were going to have Antigoni Goni do a livestream about playing Tarrega. It got canceled, and I would love to see it rescheduled.

Re: Week 2: Change of Colors @Wai I love this piece, Wai, and you’re playing it very well. If you want a treat, look up one of several recordings of it by Ronn McFarlane on the lute. Mind blowing!

Re: Week 2: Change of Colors Shand - Inquietude Op 56 No 1 Like Blaise’ post above, this is a pretty intense and somber piece of music. I am not sure if it evokes Autumn, but if it does, it is certainly late Autumn,…

Re: Week 1: Music of the Fall @Ron That's great! His music is seldom played, and despite its age, it sounds very fresh to me. And he seems to have a lot of pieces in my technical range.
