Hello ... it's 10 minutes past the hour. Is this event still going to happen?

I got a reminder in my email about the event starting at 9am Pacific. I have been waiting for it to start as well. However, on this page, the event is supposed to start at 8:00 AM PDT. I think there is some issue with the system. Maybe Martin doesn't even know that he is hosting it today.

I don't think we missed it. Most live streams start at 1:00 pm eastern. Announcing the early time in the email might have been a mistake. I'll assume the stream will start an hour later at 1:00 pm eastern.

Hope Martin is okay. This never happened before...

I wonder if will start in half an hour, although the app does say live now!

Hi Martin! I have to work Spain time 7pm so I might miss most of it but I will come in right away after and hopefully catch some of it.
I'm working on Sor Op. 6 no 11 and I think some passages are just impossible. The shift from m. 37 to 38. How do you land cleanly? Very tough to get that pinky to land on the g! The other really tricky passage for me is mm 59-60. I don't understand how anyone can stretch that far to get 3rd finger on C# on the 5th string, the first finger on the g# on the 3rd string and the second finger on the c# on the 2nd string. I'm even trying it on a short scale guitar and struggle!

Hi, everyone, what's going on? Just read the comments. I hope all's well. Perhaps, someone from Tonebase should inform us if the event's been cancelled or rescheduled in case Martin can't communicate that due to some emergency.

I sent an email to the Tonebase admin team . Hopefully we'll have an answer.

It looks like the event has been rescheduled for August 11th..... The mystery will then be resolved.. 🫣
