I pretty much know where the notes are on the fretboard, seems the hard part for me is getting the fingering and timing ie hand technique on the higher level pieces. Prehaps a path to hand technique patterns/ exercises to get quicker at playing the more complex pieces. Are there any shortcuts? As it takes so long to get a nice legato and speed, lol!

Hi Martin!
I think it could be really interesting to invite maybe a 7-string guitarist to talk about more traditional Brazilian styles (like choros) and the improvisational aspects of the genre. This could appeal to many fans of Brazilian guitar music in general, and it would be cool to see if we could incorporate some of it into our own playing—especially when comping in chamber music—while still remaining (semi)classical? I hope this makes as much sense to you as it did in my mind
I particularly enjoyed the lessons from Douglas Lora, for example, who touched on this topic as well. I found it both really fun and informative!
Cheers from Vienna!

I love the wide range of topics covered and always get something useful from every livestream. The cross platform sessions are always very interesting and its great to hear perspectives from community members on other platforms.
For me, I would love to see livestreams with Gabriel Bianco and with Łukasz Kuropaczewski also I'd like another session on the Carlevaro method.
Thanks Martin

I have watched several livestreams from other instruments perspectives on pieces that are also part of the guitar repertoire that I found really informative: Matt Haimovitz on Bach's Cello Suites (preludes 1 and 3), Vijay Gupta, violinist on Bach's Chaconne.
Stephen Goss is always informative and appreciated.
I find different practice routines and technical lessons valuable.

Hi Martin, I'd love to have a livestream (and a lesson or two, if possible) on rhythm and harmony, especially on rhythm. As someone who's relatively new to classical music, I lack certain technical knowledge about things like which beats to accent and how to use accompaniment with melody and be on time at the same time. Without proper use of rhythm and harmony, my playing often sounds sloppy and not crisp enough. I'd love to correct that.
I'd also love to have a few livestreams (perhaps a series of livestreams on various aspects like how to understand the relationship between intervals, chord progression, modes etc.) on music theory that's relevant to beginner guitarists. I feel like we could have more theory content on the site.
As for artists or guitarists, I'd love to have Douglas Lora to discuss the 5 preludes of Villa Lobos. It'd be great to have other artists who haven't yet been on tonebase before.
Thanks for all the great work you guys do.

Hi Martin,
For me, I would love to see livestreams, from any guitarist, that go through a piece, like explaining the backgroud/context, analyzing the score and explain the score by using music theory, and highlight the technical difficulties and how to get over them, and etc.
Basically more like an online class to teach a piece. I believe that what would benefit me the most.
Just my 2cents.
Thank you!

I find the masterclasses with Tonebase members very very instructive - not only do the members bring focus to the challenges we all face, but also masterclasses bring out the interpretive and expressive challenges in addition to the technical ones. Pavel Steidl has some of his own on YouTube, as well as very expressive performances.
