You are right Arash. The sound will influence the judges. I will add that. It depends on each challenger how much effort he puts in the contribution.
As I wrote, professional sound engenering like we saw it in Todds fenomenal alegrias in past is not allowed, because only a hand full of the challengers could do that. The playing should be judged and not the arangement. But buying a good mic in 3-4 month or rent it should be possible.
I like unplugged camera recordings most. I went to a lot of worksops and the videos are awesome.. with a normal cam.



Doitsujin -> RE: Challenge, Advanced Thread (Feb. 15 2009 1:36:25)

Anders wrote me an PM and told me to sponsor a handmade Anders-cejilla for the winner!!!! Thats phenomenal!!




It will be a very special one especial for the challenge. Man,.. I dont know what you do, but I will train harder than ever now!

I´ll add that to the initial post.

Thank you 1000 times Anders! Thats a good thing!

Oh yes, for sure[:)]

Well, I´ll make a funky Cejilla and I will do a photo and post it. Besides that I pay the shipping of the cejilla to the winner.

And I will also be a judge[&:]

Oh thats true. Hmm i didnt see that, now i have to take back my recommandation.
With such a score, i dont think that you can be a good Judge[8|]

[:D][:D]



Doitsujin -> RE: Challenge, Advanced Thread (Feb. 15 2009 7:52:47)

Because we still need serious judges, I want to call for more judges.

I think gl Michelob would be a great judge who dont play games!
So, Michelob, would you join the league of judges?



Doitsujin -> RE: Challenge, Advanced Thread (Feb. 15 2009 9:14:01)

I´m happy that ToddK told me that hes willing to be a judge!! That makes me happy! He always tells his thoughts clearly without harming anything! Hes a perfect judge!

Thank you Todd!



Florian -> RE: Challenge, Advanced Thread (Feb. 15 2009 9:21:27)

damn i was hoping he was in ...i would love the pleasure of going against him...


theres still time to change your mind todk [;)] my invitation stays open.. parametics would have to brake my door down and forcefully remove the guitar from my grasp before i let you beat me... for all the bulls*it over the years to me and Edgar..i dont care if i come second to last in this group as long as i beat you..


so heres your personal invitation....join

if you cant do it with your hands use your pick i dont care

Doitsujin, I am touched by the honor you are extending to me. As you know, my experience with Flamenco is at a rather developmental stage (although I doubt anyone could have watched more youtube flamenco videos than I did). Hopefully I can add yet another angle to the discrete views/votes other judges will cast.

Without instigating a senate hearing to scrutinize the validity, qualifications and credentials supporting my appointment, unless anyone posts any objection, it will be my privilege to serve.

Thank you for the kind remarks.

Yep! Thats great! Thank you gj Michelob for serving a judge!!

I didn't have to check more than one word in any English sentence for around a year till now. When I read your posts I recognize every time how worse my English is.. eem.. Michelob..Could I hire you for correcting and pimping up my phd-thesis when I finish it?? [:-]I will have to write in english.. OMG! I have to improve it a lot.. [&:]

Thats a laywer for you! It's a very formal way of saying "of course I'll be a judge"[:D]

Your reply would be something like "It is with greatest gratification that we the forum, humbly acknowledge your gracious acceptance of the extension of our invitation and not withstanding paranthetic preamble, judicial investigation or scrutiny of disposition, hereby unto you, sanction authority to the dutiful service of your illustrious comission."

Are you sure?

If Todd can use a pick then he's gonna be very hard to beat IMO.

But I like your spirit man.

I'm dying to see the showdown already!!

Man...I'll get the popcorn and beer in for that weekend!

(And get another couple of spare Fuses for the Forum!!...[:D][:D])

cheers,

Ron

[:)] blushing and laughing. I do some mercenary-writing in fashion, if your thesis is on the history of refined saddlery and the development of Hermes’ handbags, I will gladly serve (again); alternatively, my contribution may ill-reward you. LOL

Save for the last one, it is quite a legion of serious flamencos; inevitably intimidating as much as passing judgment on brilliant guitars such as Florian and Ricardo (?). I am so relieved I will be blind-folded as justice summons its ministers to be. Wow...:

Pimientito, your mockery of lawyerly parlance is precious. Well done!!
Florian, you are the last guy I would arm with any more dangerous darts than cupid seems to have already bestowed… after all I have two daughters, and the last hazard I want them to face in life is meeting a guy like me or you, amigo –the Mediterranean risks.

LOL- Are you in any way related to Frasier Crane?[:D][:D]

I am often and legitimately accused of excessive rhetoric and sophism, but of Frasierism? I will add that to a line a fellow attorney wrote on a different forum “you [Michelob] are an inflated balloon in your own parade”. I deserve it occasionally, and might as well admit it, before I face a flood of unrepeatable abuses from the members.


Enough words now, I am off to practice some flamenco!!
ciao

[:D][:D]

gj,

I have no idea who Frasier is, since I'm probably too old and don't watch TV...but just to say that in the UK, there has been quite a dramatic change to the language over the past 20 years or so, where the emphasis is in using clear, everyday words...though still with respect to grammar etc.

Even RP (Received Pronounciation) has loosened up a lot and increasingly Regional accents are heard amongst presenters and newsreaders on the BBC.

The main thrust now is to communicate ideas, rather than to use a poetic or verbose style.

John Major ( our ex- PM after Maggie) used to be excellent at this and was highly entertaining, with a speaking style that Charles Dickens ([:D]) would have felt perfectly at home with. (you see...even ending in a preposition is acceptable now! [:D])


For example, on this Forum I tend to write in very short paragraphs and try to keep my words simple, because I know a lot of members have English as a second language and it can be very tiring to read.

The main problem I have now is trying to keep up with street language and mobile phone text language, but I have a teenage daughter who kinda gives me some guidance when I'm stuck. [:D]

cheers,

Ron

My teenagers recently dared me to go up to my boss and say, "Yo wassup mahomey?"

But I do find it invades my speech anyway, and I hear myself saying stuff like, "yeah that's well cool innit bruv?"
