Great idea, but I agree with Jack it would be tough to make happen within a year. You also might want to talk to your graphics/marketing folks. The image above makes it look like it's going to be one…

Re: Week 3: Discovering Hidden Gems
@Jack Stewart That's really nice, Jack. It sits very well on the guitar. I really enjoy transcribing but then I think I like the studying part more than the playing since only about one out of every…

Re: Week 2: Delving into Diverse Styles
@joosje It's interesting that some things look or sound simple but they just don't fit under my fingers well. I could sightread the Solis piece pretty well, but it just wasn't working musically.…

Re: Week 2: Delving into Diverse Styles
@Eric Phillips Yes, I sometimes catch myself thinking I've been playing for ages so I should be at a higher level. But then I realize it's not paying the bills so it doesn't matter plus I don't want…

Re: What is on your musical bucket list?
@Dave McLellan You're right and I might try to figure out a mini-version of the suite I'm comfortable with. Enjoy getting ready for the next season. I especially like the nature and birds theme.…

Another practice session of Edin Solis' Prelude from Pasaje Abierto, this time everything up to the bridge where things start to get really hairy. This might be my last post on this for the challenge…

Re: What Nail Products Do You Use?
@Jan Bardine I second the Nailtiques Formula 2. I've been using it for a couple of years. I keep a few coats on and replace them every couple of weeks. I can tell a difference in my sound since it's…

Re: What is on your musical bucket list?
@Dave McLellan I had sort of the same take on this. I go through Nocturnal every once in a while but it's still well beyond me. A great piece to study though.…

Re: Week 2: Delving into Diverse Styles
@Spare Machine This is really coming along well. Nicely done. This is why I love these challenges so much. I primarily listen to 20th/21st century music and I've never even heard of Frantz Casseus.…

Re: Week 1: Exploring New Territories
@Jack Stewart I didn't know that. My wife has been looking into it and I guess it's one of the better places for expats. We've always toyed with the idea of retiring someplace outside of the US.

Re: Week 1: Exploring New Territories
@joosje That's interesting and I like the take as melancholy film music. That kind of thing helps me figure out how to approach a piece. I don't think it always comes through,…

Re: Week 1: Exploring New Territories
My first submission of work from Costa Rica. Here are the first twelve measures of the Prelude from Edin Solis's Pasaje Abierto. It's nearly a quarter of the song but it serves as an introduction…

Re: Week 1: Exploring New Territories
@martin Personally, I'd lean towards the earlier date. A shorter time means we can have more challenges. Like Blaise said, we can choose something a little easier.

@Blaise Laflamme I am totally sold. The main thing holding me back was scanning in music. When I was doing it years ago it was a flatbed scanner, importing files, converting file types, etc.…
