Re: Unconventional sitting position I generally play with the guitar over my right leg, 'folk' style. On a low seat (like a couch) this works well. On an ordinary chair, I need to sit with legs crossed.…

Re: READ ME FIRST: Rules & FAQ for the Recording Course! Thanks for the very detailed response, Martin! I'll keep an eye open for the H4n. I'll also look around for a mic stand. At the moment, I use a camera tripod, which can be adjusted for height.…

Re: READ ME FIRST: Rules & FAQ for the Recording Course! Hi Martin - I'm looking forward to this! (Just downloaded the trial version of 'reaper'.) I have two possibilities for the USB mic: a Blue 'Yeti', and a Zoom H2n recorder.…

Re: Community challenge ideas. @Roni Glaser I love Francesco da Milano! Brandon Acker features one of his pieces in his most recent lesson for tonebase. Indeed, I was thinking of recording something by Francesco as a sort of…

Community challenge ideas.
The first community challenge having been such a success, I though it might be useful to have a thread where proposals for future challenges could be shared and discussed. I'll begin with my own.…

Re: DAILY UPDATES (Click Me!) Main Thread - Where the magic happens! Week two update: as in week one, I had limited practice time. In the end, I didn't manage (or even try) to make any recordings. But I did, over the course of the two weeks,…

Re: DAILY UPDATES (Click Me!) Main Thread - Where the magic happens! @André Nardi Nicely played, Andre! I really like your use of dynamics and the beautiful rubato at measure 14. It's not easy to get just the right timing, I find, but you nailed it!

Re: DAILY UPDATES (Click Me!) Main Thread - Where the magic happens! @Mircea Wow, that was great Mircea! Very effective use of dynamics too. (And btw, while I can agree that the l.h. changes are idiomatic, I'm not so sure they are all 'straightforward' - not for me,…

Re: DAILY UPDATES (Click Me!) Main Thread - Where the magic happens! I also considered some different fingerings (so that the top voices could all be arpeggiated in the second half) but in the end I've kept to the original suggestions, mostly because they're easier!…

Re: DAILY UPDATES (Click Me!) Main Thread - Where the magic happens! @Mircea Thanks Mircea! I do try to think of 3 versus 2 in this general manner, but I never seem to get a satisfactory flow in the triplet - small hesitations manage to creep in, quite uninvited!…

Re: DAILY UPDATES (Click Me!) Main Thread - Where the magic happens! @Martha Kreipke Hi Martha - here's how I think of it: there are 18 sixteenth notes in each measure, which is equivalent to 9 eighth notes, so the time signature is 9/8.…
