Week 1: Jumpstart Your Journey!
Get the Scores for the Carcassi Etudes op.60 Challenge
HOW TO BEGIN 
Ready to join the "Carcassi Etudes op.60 Challenge"? Here’s your starting line:
- Pick Your Etude: Dive into the evocative world of Carcassi by selecting an etude from op.60. Whether it's a piece that tests your technical limits or one that you've longed to perfect, the choice is yours.
- Commit to Practice: Embark on a disciplined practice routine, aiming for consistency. Share your journey with at least two video updates each week on our platform. This commitment will not only enhance your skills but also enable us to experience your progress, fostering a supportive atmosphere in our tonebase community.
- Share Your Practice: Submit a recording that you feel best captures your connection with Carcassi's music. This will inspire and contribute to a rich collection of performances for our community to enjoy and learn from.

These two etudes really stood out to me on a recording I heard by Tariq Harb. I've been spending quite a bit of time reading through them slowly to get to know them and figure out the fingering. I think they fit under the fingers pretty well but some of the jumps and especially the slides over a fourth or fifth are going to be tough at tempo.
-
Neil Macmillan Thanks, Neil. I appreciate it.
-
Steve Price well done! You opened this challenge with these real difficult pieces and set the standard high! Looking forward to more of this.
-
joosje Thanks a lot. I actually didn't realize how difficult these were until I started working with them more. I don't usually spend a lot of time working on right-hand fingerings, but these are making me focus on that more. They're very pretty pieces so I'm enjoying spending the time and effort.

I am new to Tonebase. This will be my first participation with others on the site. I'll work on #7. I'm not sure how to record and upload the piece - I'll work on this with the goal of having it recorded by the end of the weekend.
So far, I'm loving Tonebase. There are so many options for activity. Thank you for this.

Alan Hoff Welcome to the challenge Alan, I'm happy to read you're working on #7, a famous one!! You can record simple using your phone, or use a ton of gear, and then upload on YT (create your channel if you don't already have one) and make it «unlisted» to share here but not worldwide! Feel free to ask any questions in the forums, the community is pretty responsive!

Alan Hoff I'm working #7 too. I'm trying out Sabrina Vlaskalic's fingering as discussed on tonebase:https://app.tonebase.co/guitar/courses/player/sabrina-vlaskalic-teaches-carcassi-study?moduleSlug=sabrina-vlaskalic-teaches-carcassi-study-no-7-op-60

Hi all. I've been missing from these challenges for some months now. I've actually taken part in most of the one's that I missed but just didn't get round to making a video of myself! Hopefully that's going to change for this one. I've started work on No 17 which I've never played before so should be interesting. I've just tried to video myself but messed it up so hopefully in the next few days I'll have something ready to post.
End of the Year Challenge: Finish Strong!
