Obligatory break from guitar

Hey amigos,

I have just entered a phase of INTENSE studying (12 hours per day) for the upcoming US Medical Licensing Exam. I hope to take the exam towards the end of July. Therefore, I'm going to be less active on the foro and unfortunately will have much less time to practice guitar, if any.

If all goes according to plan, I hope to make the comeback from hell afterwards, though.

Cheers!

Good luck with the exams Ramzi!! I've got my Masters exams in a month and I've been having a lot less time for guitar lately too. It's worth it in the end though. Maybe by the time you get back I'll have recorded a certain video for you at last

Best wishes and good luck to you.

I've come out the other end now - I retired from my first career (nuclear engineer) and now I've started a second one. Not a young sprout anymore but I'm not ready to stop working.

Hey romb I think you know where your priorities are , give up medicine and keep us amused , Why help thousands when you can help about ten .

So you're saying I'm only going to get 10 patients as a doctor later on in the future?

Well I can put my hand up as someone you are treating already .

Best of luck with your study romb . Perhaps online consultations is something you have considered as a future option . You can prescribe popular songs in a flamenco style , you have already done so much .

Ramzi,

I'm sure you are up for this test. I can imagine the amount of time you have already put in to get this far in your studies. If everything goes to plan, will you be able to order one of those plastic door signs. One that simply says,

DR RAMZI MD/ EL RUMBERO?

At least use it as introduction text on the screen for any future you tube videos.
