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: 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.…
