Re: Let's Vote for our Next Challenge @Steve Price Fine choices, Steve! (I'm just not sure if we're the proverbial 'great minds' that think alike, or the fools who seldom differ ...)

Re: Let's Vote for our Next Challenge Well, I do know which one I won't be voting for, and that's number three. (Who came up with such a dumb idea in the first place ...) I like, more or less equally, all of the other suggestions.…

Re: New Challenge Ideas? @Marc Adler Interesting to hear that you commissioned a work from Gulli! What sort of piece is it? Landslog is a set of eleven short pieces of increasing difficulty,…

Re: New Challenge Ideas? @Eric Phillips You do 'own' a number of recent works - we all do in this community! I'm referring to the three sets of pieces commissioned by ToneBase over the past few years.…

Re: New Challenge Ideas? @Marc Adler I generally receive an email from ToneBase informing me that a new topic has been posted. (Mind you, I get so many emails from ToneBase that I tend not to look at any of them ...)

Re: New Challenge Ideas? @Nijwm Bwiswmuthiary What you say about waltzes is not correct, Nijwm - there are dozens (possibly hundreds) that are well within your reach. Many of those composed in the early 19th century are…

Re: Request: Complete Performances for Tutorials @Marc Adler Hi Marc - I joined ToneBase in 2020, just as the Covid lockdowns were getting started. A lot of the pre-recorded material was already available at that time.…

Re: What are you working on? @Lars Kjøller-Hansen A very nice performance, Lars! Really great rhythmic drive! I think I know what you mean when you say that you never imagined you would ever play such a piece.…

Re: What are you working on? @Eric Phillips Sounds great, Eric - clear, lovely phrasing! And, compared to your earlier take, I like the warmer tone of of your guitar at this pitch. I tend to agree with @Lars Kjøller-Hansen about…

Re: What are you working on? @Andre Bernier This is coming along well, Andre. (Despite it's apparent simplicity, it's quite a tricky piece!) It looks like you have a very nice recording setup.…

Re: What are you working on? @Eric Phillips Thanks, Eric - both for starting the thread, and for introducing us to another little-known composer! It's a nice piece that reminds me of the minuets of the Peruvian guitarist Pedro…

Re: Practice diary 2024 - Andre Bernier Very nice, Andre! I've not heard of this suite before, but it seems well worth learning! Btw, I don't think this was written by the Los Angeles-based film composer, despite the name.…
