You know I’ll be there! I want to work on something to improve my right hand damping. I’m thinking of number 14. Lots of open bass strings, and probably some treble string damping would be good to keep the scales clean.

I like Carcassi’s opus 60 no 2 and 7

I’m afraid I now have a family obligation, so I will have to watch the kickoff later. 😢

I had just this last week started revisiting Op. 60, and remembered again how much they have to offer. These "melodious studies" were the first thing my new teacher introduced me to when I returned to playing the guitar a couple of years ago (after half-a-lifetime without it). It was like entering at the deep end of the pool... but just like that, it reminded me that I used to know how to swim....more or less (!). And away we went.
The edition I have worked with is the one "edited, fingered and explained by" Rey de la Torre. His commentary/"explains" have a kind of dry wit that sticks with me when I come back to each "study", and each time I return to them, I find something new to work on.
This is my first "challenge" at Tonebase. Looking forward to it!

I can’t believe I missed the kick-off, but watched it after the fact. This looks like it will be fun. I will focus on 2,3, and 7 for now. Looking forward to the interactive live stream. I will try to catch up a little.
