LOL... sorry Ron, i am a most laconic guy

Yes the falsetas are really not easy especially playing them in one take.

okay, it's been settled!

everything will proceed as normal. we'll stick with the new judging method. so judges and contestants, after the entries have been posted, send your comments to ailsa and she will post them up by judging deadline. you're off the hook deniz, just get back to practicing! i'll send everyone a reminder pm in a few days.

here's the email again.
flamencoguitarcourse@yahoo.co.uk

so anything else that needs last minute discussing? any other recording rules?

aaargh... why nobody mentioned it. Pepes 2 remates (closing arps) in the end are a mess. Im curious about your solutions for that.
My little finger actually hurts because of the last falseta (playing the d-string), so today i could only practise the rasg at the ending. My A figner also hurts, but not too much. Am i the only one with injuries?

uff, I'm feeling it too.. sore wrist. hope it's better tomorrow cause I really need to do more takes.. i'm having real trouble with the last falseta. pepe bums a few notes in the closing arpeggios, but I think it's still close to what he intended. at first I thought he lost it and made a correction to get back into compas, but if you play it slow and clean it up it the variation he does makes sense imo, he kind of underlines it in the second last 12.. oh well, most of the time when i reach the end I'm all over the place anyway, so those details might not be the most important thing right now

Come on you guys...No excuses!

I want it sounding EXACTLY like the originals, clean and with spot-on compás too!

I'll be deducting points for sloppy work.

Get practising!

cheers,

Ron

yeah, yeah, dream on baby...

If I manage to get through the piece without breaking my fingers I'll be happy, sound quality is nice to have, but hardly expected.

Ah, and compas is for flamenco players...
