  • Important subject. Just subscribed. Regarding the zoom in, I would join if I could, but I have lessons on Mondays at the scheduled time. I will have to do with the recordings.

  • I completely agree with Joosje and Bill Young. Very timely TWI on this subject. I've been having trouble with things like pressing too hard, maintaining a proper balance in the LH fingers, holding barres for extended lengths of time, too much tension on thumb-wrist tendons.

    This sounds very interesting. I didn't notice the time of the Zoom in. Is it on Monday 7th at 7pm CET? I have a Guitar Society meeting at 8:30 CET but I can be late for that to attend the Zoom.

      Derek We haven't scheduled a Zoom meeting yet, as we were asking in the signups how many people are actually interested in it as we've seen a lower and lower amount of people actually participating in the Zoom calls, so stay tuned for updates!

      martin Thanks Martin - that explains why I couldn't see the time :-). You're going to be very busy for the next few months (years :-)) but I'm hoping things will have settled down here and I won't be as busy so that I can spend more time on Tonebase!

    • martin Hello Martin I have signed up but did not opt for zoom because of the time difference. I just assumed that the lessons would be recorded for viewing at a later time. Am I right in that assumption?? 

       

      Cheers

  • Very interesting subject and definitely one where I can and should improve a lot. I am travelling and internet connection is sometimes very poor, so I don't expect to be uploading any videos myself. But I look forward to learning from Arturo's instructions and the discussions in the forum.

    Very important subject! I have comitments most Monday evenings so will probably not be available for a Zoom catchup. Hopefully everything will be recorded so I can take the lessons off line
