Re: ULTIMATE tonebase Community Concert! @Robert I enjoyed your performance of the Brouwer piece, Robert! I think your habit of just sitting down and recording yourself 'cold' really paid off in the concert.…

Re: ULTIMATE tonebase Community Concert! @Steve Pederson Great job in the concert, Steve! Furthermore, your guitar sounded particularly good. (Even Dominic noted that in the chat.) For many of the participants (especially the violinists)…

Re: WEEK 2: Keep on practicing! @Eric Phillips I generally find memorization works the same way for me - it somehow just happens. (Unfortunately, it rarely persists - if I put a piece aside for a week,…

Re: WEEK 2: Keep on practicing! @Eric Phillips It's sounding very good to me, Eric. Just one little rough spot that I imagine will be ironed out in no time. What I most like is how 'musical' it is sounding now.…

Re: Level 1 - List Of Pieces (+ Discussion Space) @Jim King I'll answer as a fellow ToneBase subscriber, not an authority of some kind. While ToneBase presents a lot a valuable material, I don't think it is a substitute for a structured learning…

Re: WEEK 1: Select And Practice Your Piece! @Steve Pederson The piece as we know if for guitar is an arrangement (presumably by Brouwer) of something originally composed as part of a film score. ('Una dia de Noviembre' is the title of the film.…

Re: WEEK 1: Select And Practice Your Piece! @Steve Pederson That's funny, Steve. As it happens, I sometimes yearn (quietly!) to repurpose my own dining room in just such a manner. (Pretty sure that won't be happening any time soon though ,,,)

Re: WEEK 1: Select And Practice Your Piece! @Steve Price Steve, you might look at the prelude from Weiss's Suite IV if you want a piece that is a little easier. It is similar in character to the first part of the Fantasia,…

Re: WEEK 1: Select And Practice Your Piece! @Jack Stewart This is sounding really good, Jack! I love the sense of 'purpose' and direction in your interpretation. I agree that an improvisatory feel is what is called for here.…

Re: WEEK 1: Select And Practice Your Piece! @Eric Phillips This is really coming along nicely, Eric - a BIG improvement over your earlier take. (With Sor, I find it always takes a while for the left hand to adapt to its task; and remember,…

Re: WEEK 1: Select And Practice Your Piece! @Steve Pederson I like your song arrangement, Steve, although I think the opening bars could be taken just a little faster. I can’t help but wonder, though,…
