Heres something u might like...i tried to make a loop copying the format ( not compleatly) of the palmas used in the Moraito audio...approx the speed...u might have to slow it down 1 or 2%

u dont have to use it...but its here if u want it

however u cant use it the way it is...theres a litlle surprise in the timing of the original that you will have to figure out yoursefs

the palmas start exactly where the palmas start where it does on the audio so the first part is quiet..its aprox the same length

I added the voice to give you a nice lead in

no ofcourse not...but its at judges discression how they vote...the voting will be done anonymously...noone will know the name of the member playing...they will be uploaded here with only reference numbers...

Theres a panel of Judges judging you on 3 criterias

Technique/Execution
Compas/Timing
Feel/Aire/Swing

Jason Mcguire, Norman K, Todkk, Ricardo, Ron, Kate, Pimientito, Grisha, and probably more..judges to confirm

personally if you play it slower but with a great swing i for one will be pleased...but i can only speak for myself we picked a diverse, broad panel just for that reason...so that it covers many views and tastes of what and how it should be..

it will be very interesting to see how we vote it

Theoretically, count me in! If I get too overwhelmed with studies, is it OK to just NOT submit my MP3?

OK I am in - this is my real confirmation. But how did we go from 2 to 3 months to 4 weeks? What about people like me with real jobs

and families that can't play as regularly? Plus my mind is feeble and it is hard to remember stuff...

I will try my best but if we can split the difference and give it 6 weeks I would be happier! Please....

Thanks to Flo and all the judges and prize donations - this is turning into something really cool.

I was outvoted...and than when i thought about it...i agreed with it...its just 1 falseta...wanted to find a period between Doable yet without losing momentum

...well who says u have to win ? u can still take part and do your best...or find a reason to argue with your wife this month and pretend to be sulking in your room

Put me down for the challenge, now that I have nearly completed my 'version' of Punta del Faro (after nearly 10months).

Ive got one of those Olympus dictaphones so I am assuming I can upload from that

Well I reckon the loser needs Jason's lessons more than the winner, so as a likely candidate for the position would like to beg for that instead!

Will go practice now, then decide which level to do, and then find a reason to argue with my bloke and pretend to sulk in my room
