What do I need?
We are going to use ZOOM (←click to download) for the tonebase Community Concert. In order to have the best audio quality, you can activate the option to Preserve Original Sound, here you find the documentation on how to activate that. It's best to use headphones with when the Original Audio Option is enabled.
LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, WE LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

I really hope there will be another opportunity to perform in another tonebase community concert!
I would love to attend and perform, but that is the very day I am expected to become a Benedictine Oblate at St. Meinrad Archabbey in St. Meinrad, Indiana. I think I will be too distracted that day. ;)
May everyone do well!

Todd congratulations to you Todd!

Martin I really enjoyed the dress rehearsal and all the good vibe of the community. Wishing for more performances like this.
-
Jorge Awesome, happy that you enjoyed! Your performance of Ophelia was so fascinating!!
-
Martin Thanks. I think this contemporary piece take advantage of the guitar sonority, and creates this incredible atmosphere.

Thanks Martin for organizing , thank you all for your participation, support and patience.
Posting here too some lessons learned:
- Stage fright does exist! I played worse than any of my performances in the last month. The one hour between the start of the rehearsal and the time I had to play was enough to "disconnect" me from the guitar and make me feel anxious.
- I tried playing the prelude at a faster pace, which somehow I prefer. Note to self: do not start your concert with a fast piece! A slow one will be better, to (re)connect with the guitar in the concert setting .
I'll be looking for more tips and techniques to stay connected with the instrument and keep concentration under pressure.

Calin Lupa Thank you so much for sharing, those are very valuable lessons!
