Welcome to tonebase!

Hello to everyone. I'm Jimmy from Chesapeake, VA. I'm glad to be here with you all.

Hi tonebase peeps,

I'm from all over California, growing up and living in different cities and towns between Los Angeles and Oakland.  My favorite food from there is my mom's homemade pumpkin soup in the Fall and fresh picked wild blackberries in Summer.  I am just starting to learn guitar and have no formal musical background, so I'm working on establishing a solid foundation of basic theory and techniques.  Tonebase is a cool concept.  I'm hoping to learn from the community and maybe someday contribute as well.

• I am from Busan South Korea, currently living in Bundang. My favorite food is kimchi as most Koreans would do.
• I took private lessons about two years in total but my right hand went wrong since I began this instrument alone. I couldn't fix my finger problem with teachers. Now I am visiting a center where I can get advice for a short period of time and think about me myself. So I practice Guilani 120 studies or Some other simple etudes to kick my boredom out.
• Before I got here, I could find another free place where I can meet isolated amateur guitarists but I wanted lessons that are well explained and I subscribed to Tonebase. I payed for it though I don't imagine music along with money. Anyway, I will try to focus on here and want to spread my conversation with current environment around me with music.

Hey all!

• I'm from Syria originally, currently living in Stockholm, Sweden.
• I like to improvise with both music and food!
• I taught my self to play guitar and kept on doing that until I moved to Sweden where i started to learn about music theory and notation . 
• I joined Tonebase because it's worth it. I like the interpretations for the pieces and the possible fingerings they add to these pieces.
• I'm hoping I could contribute as well someday.

Hi everybody in the guitar world

• I'm from Switzerland, and because of that I feel obliged to mention Cheese Fondue as my favorite (winter-) dish; but don't worry, I really love it!
• I play acoustic guitar since my youth, mostly steel string, sometimes nylon, and this on rather modest level and in various styles. No experience with classical guitar repertoire - but I love and admire it. That's why I, in retirement since some years, currently meander around on this website. I'm impressed by the fantastic content, both in terms of music and lessons, very inspiring! We'll see whether something will further develop in and with me...
• Tonebase is and will become really relevant for me if it can wake up a strong motivation to also expand my active music playing in this classical guitar direction and will help me to joyfully and consistently develop my guitar playing step by step - being aware of the limitations set by age, time and energy.

Hi everybody,

• I'm from Bordeaux, France. My favourite food ? I really don’t know : each day, i eat my favourite food ever. 
• I'm currently working on Berceuse (Mathias Duplessy), a short piece, perfect for my level  (a difficult challenge but not too difficult). I began classical guitar three years ago. Before i used to sing and play chords on guitar.
• I hope to improve my interpretations and better understand the keys of classical guitar.

Hi All,

I'm Andy

I'm from the UK. I live in North Hampshire, in the south of England. I'm about a 1-hour train ride from central London. My favourite foods are generally from all around the world. An English/UK food favourite would be Ham, Egg and Chips (with mushrooms and tomato too ;) )

I'm really only just starting out with Classical guitar. I have played the guitar for about 30 years, but have been mainly playing blues-based music.  I love classical and flamenco guitar and bought a new classical guitar about 2 years ago, while on holiday in Spain. So I am trying to go back to basics and to retrain basic technique right now, as my current 'learned' blues style is very un-classical. 

I hope to be able to enjoy playing classical and flamenco music and for it to develop me as a guitarist. I also hope I can meet new people who share a common interest in guitar-based music.

Hey guys!

I'm Ryan and i'm from Melbourne, Australia!

I've been playing guitar in bands for almost 20 years now. Ive been a firefighter for about 10 years but before that i played guitar in weddings and clubs. since being a firefighter i haven't had to play Jessies girl (not even once!) and i've been able to focus on playing in only original bands.

Once Covid hit, all the shows stopped so i decided to take up something i've always wanted to do which was play classical guitar. i found a great teacher and i've been playing non stop! ive been working through Brouwer pieces and attempting some of the Legnani caprices as well.

its hard to say what my favourite food is, but just thinking about a piece of raisin toast with a whole bunch of butter lathered on top of it starts to make my mouth water, so lets just go with that!

I'm hoping to join a community that not only loves the guitar but encourages the sharing of  knowledge and can help me discover new pieces and players.

Hi! I'm from Brazil, Porto Alegre is my hometown, it's located at the south, near Argentina, but nowadays I live in Portugal, in Caldas da Rainha city. My favourite potuguese food is Cod Fish, of course! =)

I'm currently working in some ideas to put togheter my skills at the guitar and in electronics (Max/MSP mainly).

I hope to find people to chat and kneow some new ideas!

Hi there! For anyone interested, I'm from Australia and have been playing all sorts of guitar since I was in high school. Classical was something I dabbled in as a curious learner, but my desire to be the next Slash quickly overcame that. I let it go for many years, until COVID last year I decided to regularly practice it again and I've discovered an all new love of the instrument. Anyway, that's my story. I'd have KILLED to have something like Tonebase when I was a kid.
