Re: Week 1: A Fresh Start
I’m choosing Brouwer’s Cancion de Cuña. I’ve always wanted to learn it but I’ve not gotten around to it so this will be the perfect opportunity.

Re: Week 5: Mastery in the Making
This is week 5? I was on vacation. Is it too late to join the challenge? I’ve been working on 25. Right now trying to increase the tempo from 75 to 80 but it’s tricky.

Re: What courses would you like to see next on tonebase Guitar?
@David no David. She plays off the side of her thumb so she doesn’t use the nail. That is all flesh you’re hearing. She keeps it a bit longer only for when she plays flamenco style which she is also…

Re: What courses would you like to see next on tonebase Guitar?
@Phill Tadman yes I know of them. They are good ambassadors of no nails technique. Rob MacKillop has a very good article about her on his website that you can read here: https://rmclassicalguitar.…

Re: What courses would you like to see next on tonebase Guitar?
@Jack Stewart quite true. There is no one like her - nails or no nails. She’s an incredibly powerful player. Watch out for her new CD to be released any day now called Estampas Latinas,…

Re: What courses would you like to see next on tonebase Guitar?
@Phill Tadman it definitely requires a different technique. You need to learn to dig in and escape the string in a different manner.

Re: What courses would you like to see next on tonebase Guitar?
@Phill Tadman good one Phil! I play without nails and if done correctly, which takes a lot of practice, has an exquisite tone. Virginia Luque is the most famous and incredible player to do so.…

Re: What do you think about the tonebase Practice Plans?
Ok so I filled out the questionnaire and had a look at the suggested videos. I’m afraid none of them were of any interest to me. I really like the Level System but this practice plan isn’t something…

Re: What do you think about the tonebase Practice Plans?
I’m not sure Martin. I’ll have to take a look at it. Since I’m taking regular lessons with a world class player it probably would be redundant for me and I can’t afford the extra cost.…

Re: Fingernail Problems and possible solutions
My solution, Jack, has been to learn to play without nails, ala my teacher, Virginia Luque. It takes some getting used to but in the end it’s so rewarding!

Re: Technical Passage Mini Challenge
@martin I agree with you Martin! I also prefer to not play the barre in that passage. It is definitely the trickiest part of the piece. And I like your ornaments. They sound very nice.
