Oh boy...

I've known some girls from Leiria, Pombal.. that area. I don't know if there's something wrong with Earth itself on that region but the girls who come from there... well, you should know so Iam not going to say.

Wow, really cool falseta. Pretty advanced stuff. The tone and fluidity that John has is going to be by far the hardest part to emulate.
I will watch this one with great interest. Please find my crappy excuses for not participating below. In my "younger" days I would be all in on this.

-Baby
-Guitars to make
-House to paint

Andy I've got a solution, you should just do what I do and neglect your everyday obligations.

So you guys recommend going to Leiria????

XirdneH_imiJ joined, were toast lol

Anyone start getting into the falseta?? Rhythm/compas is going to be the toughest part for sure....

No it's, perfect, if I lose to you it's like "well yeah, of course you lost to Richard." But if I win I'll feel like a super hero.

Iam sure of it.

The most important thing is to warn people who aren't participating because they might not read the first post and end up writing something there.

edit:

Lenny, you want me to post the image somewhere else? It might not work from that link... have you tried?

Sr Martins right certo, certinho , mine gone now ... i been unceremoniously booted out ....

thats how scared you all are of my entree eh ??/

I think you need to put up a list somewhere and add names on it by edit , so we can all see , at a glance , how many and who is in ...
You dont really need a thread that you cant post on at this stage ...

you only really need one thread ... like all the rules and
names etc ...sure chat could happen there too ..
the thread you dont post on is really at the end when the entries and judging bit starts up ...

This is the thread to "screw around".

The other thread is strictly for "business". You can see automatically how many are in by the post count.

I'm walking through this falseta now, and it's no joke. Very advanced.

I'm very curious to see who here can make it through this one. And within one month.

Should be very interesting and fun for sure.

To whoever starts now, it's one month and 20 days. The least someone can have is 20 days.

Yeah, this sure is fun but Iam really starting to need to win those strings... too much practicing is wearing them out.

It may turn into "just turn in whatcha got!" Lol at 90bpm it's a lot less crazy though....and he's got the rhythm plugged into the score pretty well from what I've found so far.....

Kiko - I'll make a list also but due to the system we've got we also have to make a post, check out the "How to enter" section. We'll try it for this lil challenge and see how it goes.....

No phonograph or anything like that... this is clearly a modern digital recording. The thing is that it was recorded near the kitchen while french fries were being made.

Yeah Lenny, centered it's beautiful!
