Re: What do you think about the tonebase Practice Plans? @martin So interesting. The link you sent me just now works fine for me. When I try from my main page (Practice plans), it gives an error. Many thanks for this!

Re: What do you think about the tonebase Practice Plans? Hi everyone, I am a bit stuck with the Practice Plan, as one of the videos (about Rasgueado) seems not to be accessible any more. So, I cannot finish the plan. Any thoughts?

Re: Week 1: Improve your Recording Skills @Neil Macmillan I was thinking the same. Even in my case, using a simple smartphone and not treating the output at all. Now I wish my training room was bigger !

Re: Week 1: Improve your Recording Skills @martin Thank you for the comments and for leading us through this experiment. Yes, indeed, playing in the corner felt good. I wish I could use more than one mic and balance the sounds in that…

Re: Week 1: Improve your Recording Skills @Neil Macmillan Wow! Good stuff! Thanks for sharing. I would love to hear what our colleagues have to say, but to me, with the mic in front of you, at a longer distance, gives the better acoustics.…

Re: Week 1: Improve your Recording Skills @Jeff Parker Thanks for posting your videos. Firstly, it looks like you are in a somewhat large room, much better acoustics than mine... To me, the position with the best projection and clarity of…

Re: Experience with Alaska Picks Listening to your playing during the Carcassi challenge makes me think they are doing a good job in terms of tone. I wonder if the difficulty with the thumb is due to the fact that, with this finger,…

Re: Week 6: Triumph & Reflections Thank you all for the very helpful suggestions. I will continue to exercise this piece, trying to add more colour to the slurs and to add emphasis to the melodic and harmonic tensions.

Re: Week 6: Triumph & Reflections @Barney Thank you, playing closer to the soundhole is definitely something I have to consider more, in general. And yes, if you mean during the descending slurs, I try to snap off these.

Re: Week 4: Expressive Exploration Hi @joosje ! Yes, I meant glissandos (I wonder what I was thinking when I wrote 'slurs' ). Thank you for the feedback. I am trying to train at a slower tempo, but when I record, always it goes up,…
