Duende, I and a handfull of other users have been excited about an idea of having a thread for each Technique vith videos uploaded by members of exercises, falsetas, the idea is for us to share our ideas and prespectives, etc.
Henrik and I started it, this is the idea
: http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=27518&p=1&tmode=1&smode=1
I got a litlle bit too excited and uploaded alot too quic  but I wanna know what everyone thinks of it, because if you guys are not into it, and are not gonna contribuite yourselfs to, theres no point doing it.
So please just vote or let me know if you think its useless or a good idea or whatever, i just dont wanna get myself too excited about it spend days doing videos and realise that only a handfull of us are into this idea, and the thread will fade away at the back of the Forum somewhere.
We not using the Tab section that much anymore because of copyright issues, the only thing is used for is to make requests, ( u can make tab requests anywhere, and its probably a good idea not to have it anymore cause it just puts Simons site at risk, mibe we could replace that section with a technique section ?)
I dont speak on the behalf of Simon or anyone else, i just wanted to open this to discussion know for myself what you guys think.
I dont think that we would use more upload space that we allready do for audios because the limit can remain 2 mbs and its no different than just uploading audios, the only difference is that unlike the old audios we upload and fade away at the back of the forum never to be heard again, technique exercise videos will always be there for all the new members and us to discover and practice.
So tell me guys what do you think ?
I never acctualy asked anyone i just did it, but if we gonna keep doing it id like to know what you think ?

I think it's a great idea, but will there be enough heavy weight forum members to contribute
Its not about that koella , its not about fat guitarists besides i dont belive there one guitarist here who considers himself a heavy weight, there are many brilliant players here and i hope they all jump in and remember what it was like when they started out and needed some guidance but i leave it all up to them. From what i have seen in the past they have all been pretty generous with advice and guidance for everyone no matter the level.
Even if its just newstarters trading exercises and prespectives you still have something better then what you have right now.
Koella noone decides who puts stuff up and who doesnt, is for everyone if you have a good exercise from a book or learned from someone and you think it will help us then by all means upload it. Il leave it up to your good judgement.

I guess it could be a good idea...esp. for the newbies. A great idea for them!
Yes it will be greate for everybody I belive that anyone could teach you something. I am looking foward to new ideas for myself too.
Doitsujin stop your complaining (its like you're my romanian relatives) and get those exercises ready I love the way you play and i want most of the stuff you do for myself, infact this hole idea is just an excuse for me to get my hands on your exercises
Almost forghot the other best thing about this , is that you can put a face to the name, i just watched Fergusitos video and even tho i seen him before its still nice to see him, kind of makes us feel like real friends seeing echothers faces, its a litlle more personal, i am so bored of this just not knowing most of your faces, all i know is the names, we been here for years, its about time

Ok, my thoughts:
I think the video thing generally is very useful, its good to see you guys do your stuff and it would be helpful if if clips were easier to find, though any kind of classification system will have its problems. I'm already confused by all these PICADO-PICADO-PICADO-Florian-Solea type theads
Personally I would find it more useful to have material grouped by Palo. At the moment I am trying to find Tangos material that I like and can play, for example, and it would be nice to have all examples under one thread, rather than wade through a Picado thread looking for anything Tangos-related, know what I mean?
Bear in mind only a very few people here have cameras. I have one, though I haven't had much time to play with it yet due to other commitments. The videos I have made look like they were shot in a closet . The sound is even worse - like an old 78rpm record thats been put through the washing machine (if I use the camera mic), but I am making headway using an external mic and syncing up.
Anyway, I am working on this and hope to get out of the closet soon (joke for Florian) with something half watchable.
And after all the mince pies, chocolate, peanuts and beer over the last few weeks, my weight should now be heavy enough.

i cant promise a thing ,but i'm graduating Automatics and Computers(with the
will of God)
I know some php and i'll know some jsp.Asp i dont intend to learn,but still
wait me to get me a job ..so that i'll have some free time.After that,i'll offer to help
if u want me too and if u'll trust me.
look..i dont really am into computers i'll do whatever to live ,so i'm not that pasionate when
comes to computers.
But rafa did managed to do it on PDL's forum ....also this kedada files,have u seen how
much hdd space was needed for them?The solution exists and wouldnt be that pesimistic
about it.But i think this should be an effort to see if we can be that organized.
Phrygus had this good idea ,only files with tab ...no posts.There are many ideas,put it all
on a free site,just the html ...I can do that(but cant promise I'll do it tomorrow),and
the site to contain only links to other site where we actually upload the stuff.
The big problem is the one with hdd free space ,for a long time..I mean if the file
is beeing erased in one week ,tough luck.Anyway, i dont know if we'll find a free one...
but we have to find the one that gives the maximum for free.I'll do the little
site just to post the links(the post's about the files will still remain on foro flamenco).
But cant promise tomorrow.
[crazy idea]
look,i have super crazy one.Lets say we have a GMAIL account.We setup 10
new accounts (that are free) like flamencoforo1,flamencoforo2......flamencoforo10.
We all know the password for flamencoforo7 lets say ,the other passwords will be
known only by ...someone that we decide.That flamencoforo7 is the current one
for lets say 3 months,after that we move to flamencoforo8 account(and ofcourse
flamencoforo7 will have a new password)
How do we upload?Simple ,just send it as an attachement in a message to YOU(by
you i mean ,u "flamencoforo7".
I hope u got the idea.Now what's cool about this .Gmail offers 2GB of free space,for
every user...and the single limitation is the atachement that has to be no bigger than
10MB(but here the max is 2MB, so cheers to google).
Just looked i have 98 invitations left , so i can set up enough accounts to hold me for
a long time.
LOOK the main issue with gmail idea is that ,we got to trust ourselves that we can manipulate an email account and not erase by accident files(or because we're evil).
Gee,i have 98 invitations left .....how much is 2*98=196GB ...will that be enough.
We also have to look a little to find out if gmail will have a problem with us doing this,
though i cant see why gmail will not me want me to give my email password to anybody.
it's my password....i can give it away.
[/crazy idea]
ok,I recognize ...heavy drinker idea.
