Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Paul Kennedy Great start on this one, Paul! Beautiful tone, and those stretches don't seem to be causing you much trouble at all. My impression is that you just need to become a little more…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Olli For me, Olli, the lute and the guitar have distinct tonal characteristics; in the right hands, either can produce a gorgeous sound. (And your are quite right that Eric does well with both!…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Jack Stewart I also remember that Entree by Ballard. Unfortunately, Noad's transcription, transposed a fourth up from the original (assuming a third fret capo) made a fairly easy piece rather…

Re: WEEK 1: Vamos, Compañeros @Eric Phillips Well done, Eric! (I may try recording a variant of the fantasia from a 16th English source.) Growing up, Frederick Noad was my 'teacher' too.…

Re: Music Technology: the Ipad A few things I would be happy to see discussed: (1) best way to store and organize scores; comparison of online and offline storage. (2) How to handle page turns - reliability of bluetooth devices…

Re: Week 1: A Guitar has Six Strings, Right? @Hélène Beaulieu Very nice, Helene (excuse the missing accents - English keyboard). And what an interesting guitar you have! I can't quite make out how many strings it has - it looks to me like nine,…

Re: Learning a piece @Kevin Mudd I certainly agree that music theory is not rocket science! For the motivated learner, a lot of ground can be covered in a few months. I subscribe however to the idea that theory is best…

Re: Learning a piece I wouldn't let this hold you up, Nikhil. To learn all the theory you need to make a harmonic analysis of a piece like Lagrima will take a long time. For the present purpose,…

Re: DRESS REHEARSAL for the tonebase Community Concert If I may offer a candid opinion, it would seem to me preferable to provide more than eight spots on the program, but to restrict individual performances either to a single piece only,…

Re: Kick-Off for the Happy Holidays Challenge! @Martha Kreipke I had similar thoughts, Martha. Perhaps in the future Tonebase might choose to make this a more inclusive 'seasonal' challenge?
