@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: 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.
