@Fiona ConollyOh, I see now that there's a different lesson on the Romance presented by Scott Tennant. Is this perhaps the one you were looking for: https://app.tonebase.…

Re: "Beginners Forum" Invitation
@Fiona Conolly I agree that the site could be a little more user-friendly - although once you're familiar with the layout, it's not too difficult to find things.…

Re: Week 3 - The Empire Strikes Back ⚔️
@Andre Bernier My thanks as well for sharing Jakob's comments. It's very interesting to see the kind of feedback that's available from the ToneBase coaches. It's obviously paying off well for you.…

Re: Week 4 - Return of the Finisher 🏆
@Eric Phillips Very fine performance, Eric. Beautiful clarity in the harmonics. I suspect you're right about Barrios not playing it (and just about everything else!) the same way every time.…

Re: Week 3 - The Empire Strikes Back ⚔️
@Robert Love Nice playing, Robert! It's sounding much more secure and polished than your earlier video. My main suggestion would be to allow the music to 'breathe' a little more.…

Re: "Beginners Forum" Invitation
@Fiona Conolly Hi Fiona - welcome to the ToneBase Community. You'll fit in nicely here, should you decide to stay - we're mostly 'mature' ourselves, and although not everyone is a beginner,…

Re: 🎓 The tonebase course that changed your playing
@Steve Price I very much enjoyed the livestream with Borbola. I found her idea of musical interpretation as 'storytelling' interesting, even though it's not something I would be inclined to make use…

Re: Villa-Lobos Prelude no1 track edition
Good 'catch', Dimitri! I would say it's an error. In both the first edition and the more recent scholarly edition edited by Frederic Zigante,, the last two notes of measures 64 and 65 are F# and G#.…

Re: Week 3 - The Empire Strikes Back ⚔️
@Michael Shirk I tried speed bursts too, but the passages are long enough that my little 'bursts' (even though they did get longer with practice) always ran out of steam well before the end of the…

@Michael Shirk Great start with this, Michael! (Any rust you might have accumulated on that long road trip has been shaken off pretty quickly!) One small suggestion I would make is that the melodic…

@Richard M Levy I watch a lot of the Siccas Guitars YT videos but I almost never pay attention to the particular instrument being featured. I didn't even realize that they're producing their own line…

Re: Week 3 - The Empire Strikes Back ⚔️
@Jack Stewart When I noticed it, the name had been rendered as 'Theologies' - which actually suits the surname! I wonder if, in life, he was known simply as 'Theo'. It is an unusual name.

@Jack Stewart I forgot to ask whether you noticed what spell-check did to the name 'Thelonious'? Who say AI doesn't have a sense of humour?

Re: "Beginners Forum" Invitation
@Michelle P I've played a few Hill guitars in a local music shop - they're very nice! I'm not familiar with the model you have, but I suspect it's similar to (but of higher quality than) the Aria 19N,…

Re: "Beginners Forum" Invitation
@Michelle P The earliest form of the six-string guitar (which emerged in the last quarter of the 18th century) is now generally referred to as 'romantic' - a modern descriptor, not a historical term.…
