Yep, Doit and Matic were my favourites.
But as mentioned, everyone did a great job. Hard Falseta (and too stay in compas with it).

I think Yaelisa's problem with the tapado at the beginning of Doit's performance was that it wasn't sure. The point of starting out things with tapado (the invention of Paco de Lucia

) is to setup a rock solid groove to create a bed for the falseta to rest upon. When that initial thing isn't solid it can be a detriment to the falseta. The tapado can be as complex as you want to make it, but it still needs to be rhythmically very solid and accurate.

I've just looked at the submissions and the challenge material and it makes for a really great lesson, I'll use this as a slow-practice piece as suggested in the explanation video. Thanks Jason, for all of this excellent stuff.

Well played Doitsujin! I also enjoyed Matic's submission very much. Bravo!

Congratulations Doit! What happened to Matic's socks-on-hands submission? Doesn't he get extra points for that?

Both Rombsix and Matic recieved extra points for the "socks on hands" videos. I am glad everyone enjoyed the challenges. Doit was great on ToddK in the Alegrias really did some fine work. The sense of community and helpfullness is extraordinary here. Every member desrves credit for that.

Nobody has to play like Paco de Lucia to be validated.
