Cheers Davey, Space, Hmmm. That's what he said( my tutor). STOP playing, make them wait for the music, let their imagination fill in the quiet spots..So I guess when I said it's not 'the final frontier then', that's why he scowled at me
Thanks for the comments as always.
You've had your tone and intonation sorted for a while now. Your timing and phrasing has stepped up a level just lately and is really coming along. I think the next thing to think about is getting a little more expression into your playing by varying the dynamics and perhaps bending the note a little. If you carry on at this rate you'll be a fine player quite soon.
