Bahen :) !!

Can't believe all the names I still remember

Thank you, been good brother and you ? x

First thing I need to do is figure out how to download Spotify and convert to MP3 for transcribing, I googled and there's a way .

Update my flamenco albums with last 10 years..

Edit.

I found an app, download about 10 albums already

For transcribing, this AI app can very effectively separate out tracks in multi track recordings. I.e. make any recording you like cante only for accompaniment practice. Or for transcribing isolate and hear the guitar only. You have to pay to slow down much. But in the free version you can download an mp3 of the isolated guitar track and slow it down in another program.

Awesome thank you was still using transcribe but Il try it.

@Grisha x great sport

Simon said don't do anything complicated
But we'll have a little fun.

Like an Auction type thing

Everyone welcome to join in as a player
Or as a bidder or both.
Il put $100 if noone outbids in 2 weeks Grisha plays whatever song I pick.

Thoughts ? Everyone? What U think some fun? All the bids win or lose go to Foro , this just the first draft..Well come up with rules

I'm thinking a master section where anything is on the menu and different level sections with limitations.

Ofcourse noone has to bid 100 I owe this place a lot it's my pleasure, plus I love challenging Grisha....any amount works.

But I started some muted exercises when everyone is a sleeping... working on it..just trying to get comfortable with the guitar atm.

Henrik.....care to test your flamenco memory still ? 😆

You haven't stopped playing so you like 15 years ahead of me at least .

I know I said you just have to say hello but I lied :) jk. No pressure....

everyone welcome to be as involved or uninvolved as they want

RE: Hello Gents :) (in reply to Escribano)

I've felt so bad over recent years because I've only ever come here when I needed info, only taking and never sharing

Lockdown was wonderful until that government money stopped coming in last year and I had to get my ass back in gear and get back the lost income...

Hope you're all well!

My picado has always been behind the rest of my technique, whenever I can get a third finger in there I can often get up to speed, though...

Fergusito amigo xo

How have you been? What's been happening?

Bro....this is turning into a real reunion, I wonder who's next..... surely Jason

So good to see you here again man., I think you left even before I did.

Forget picado.....this time around I'm not touching picado !!! :) Took up 70 % of my attention span....I'm gonna work on everything else. !!! ( I hope I've grown up :) )

I'm a married man with 2 kids, picado is what you do when you trying to get chicks :)
