Challenges!!?? 
Hi folks, how is everyone?

Finally got some time and energy to spend a bit more time around these parts.

Whats happening in here with the challenges? are there any running at the moment, I could do with something to work/focus on.

I read something about alegrias challenge, anyone shed any light?

RE: Challenges!!?? (in reply to Stu) 
Hello Stu,

yes we had a couple of very inspiring challenges! There were bulerias of Moraito, Solea, and basic bulerias compas. The challengers did a good job and it was really nice to hear so many different players!

Actual running challenges are two advanced challenges if I am right.
JasonMcGuire hosts one where the challengers have to master a tricky bulerias falseta of him. Its rytmically really challenging and you need a fast thumb.

The other one is as you mentioned an alegrias challenge. The challengers have to master the whole composition "la ardila" of Tomatito. Its extremely hard.. because its a complete composition.. It takes a lot time to get all the things into your mind.. And than you need a fast thumb, too as well as a couple of other fast tricky technics.. Its ****ing hard.

You are welcome to join! Both challenges will end at June 1. You don't have much time left, but if you give it a try it will be appreciated!

Hey doit,

thanks for the info, I will have a go at both but I think entering the challenge is beyond me. Ill keep my eyes open for next intermediate one.
