kozz -> Back again (Sep. 12 2009 5:29:04)

Hello people,
it has been along time, but my mind went down from phrygian to a minor state, so I had to work on that a little bit. I've been there before, so a good talk with a P and some medication to balance out the serotonine level and we're getting back on track again.

I see a lot has happend, the beginners contest, prof.dr.R, some nice holes and a BIG MARIAGE...concratulations!

So now I am at ease, I will read some posts!

cheers!
koz

BTW: There's also a good side about it, it makes me feel Taranta all the time [:D]




minordjango -> RE: Back again (Sep. 12 2009 5:33:48)

Gee Kozz, stay well amigo , im usually traveling about Phrygian Dominant myself , but just except it.

as they say thank goodness for Guitar, be well look forward the tarantas!




Ron.M -> RE: Back again (Sep. 12 2009 5:39:41)

Hey Kozz!

Good to have you around again, man!

I've felt fed-up and depressed for about the last 10 years....I thought that was normal? [:-][:D][:D]

What's happened to Arash?

Haven't heard much from him since the Iranian Elections.
Hope he hasn't gotten himself arrested or anything!

cheers,

Ron




xirdneH_imiJ -> RE: Back again (Sep. 12 2009 6:33:40)

he logged on today on youtube, so i'd think he's fine just not a lot to say...probably spends more time on Jason's site...




gj Michelob -> RE: Back again (Sep. 12 2009 7:08:02)

There is a little chapel, near the Roman forum, dedicated to St. Paul. A tight stair leads the ever-inappropriately-dressed tourist to a small lower level chamber. There, legend has it, St. Paul wrote his famous Epistles (letters to the Romans). And he did while slowly drowning in the sewage of the eternal city which drained in that chamber.
Each time I visit Rome I visit that painful site. While I lost much faith in the Roman Church, I still admire the revolutionary men and philosophy which had erected its first walls.

We all at some point in life, more or less frequently, will feel as a drowning prisoner, locked in a St. Paul’s chamber, struggling to breathe as the sewage raises around us. Whether real, an elusive ghost or a grandmother’s fairytale, any belief that there is a purpose in life, higher than the immediate circumstances, will grant wings to our crawling soul.

If you can play a Taranta, let it always take you to the heavens it conjures, when you end a phrase and your fingers form the F sharp Major. There “the eagles dwell, as does my heart”

[edited F sharp minor to Major.... ]




minordjango -> RE: Back again (Sep. 12 2009 7:46:03)

after that read im going to play some Tarantas Poetic Evocation , loverly GJ M




mrMagenta -> RE: Back again (Sep. 12 2009 11:33:46)

Kozz, nice to have you back!

Yeah, Tarantas.. When feeling way down I like improvising very loosely around that form, or perhaps some lazy blues stuff. I sometimes go on for a long time, but eventually, and inevitably, I begin fitting in more and more rhythmical passages, right until I find myself in some dancier palo or strange half-ass funk etc. A bit like forcing yourself to hold a smile for a few minutes - it seems unfitting and stupid, but it can take the edges off things and trigger something uplifting, perhaps there's some primitive feedback loop that kicks in and overrides all those heavy thoughts etc.

That's exactly what it was, slowly but progressively.

Even the day before yesterday [:D]...
I've been indeed on Jason's site...sign up for one month and then excercise it...

Wow, GJ, I have to re-rereread it
Never heard of St.Paul, has it something to do with the DaVinci code [:D]

MD, when will you upload something again, I remember you had a very nice sound.

mrMagneta, I like Tarantas very much also. It's a nice form to freely excercise all you've learned on techniques.
Yesterday I've learned Jim Opfers arpeggio he has on his youtube channel.
What I like most is when it briefly goes into happiness and joy and than back in to darnkness again and waves on and on,....it feels like hope isn't lost yet

Guitar playing is a nice way to relief things, a year ago I couldn't use the guitar to express my feelings, now I can play few things.
I can imagine when you are more experienced it can be really powerfull.

Saludos

Oh, but thats not my intention, perhaps I'll need to Google St.Paul, religious legends is not my area....

Might that be the Mamertine prison, with the little door, in the forum, where St.Paul and St. Peter were held before their crucifixion? Always has an strange effect on me that place; but were they there together, up to their arse in ****, what did they talk about?

My father was Peter ("the rock") which is why I am called Simon (Peter's original name and it means "he who hears" in Hebrew) but in Spain they told me "Simon" means "he with the small nose" from the Greek, which is closer to the bone.

When I was in South America I was told that it is a very special name, in honour of Simón Bolívar.

In Mexico, "simón" is slang for "sí" [:D]

Whatever...

There is a cultivated man, Simon,… it is indeed the place.

What did Peter and Paul talk about? I suppose they had their own little “forum” through a special “network”…. one of underground tunnels, known as the catacombs.

Simon aka Peter the Rock, indeed. He built a church and you ForoFlameco, a place many of us frequent more religiously than the former.

St.Paul and St. Peter

Did some searching and reading and now I know why it didn't ring a bell. I am not religious at all, on the contrary actually.
So does this mean I am not cultivated? [:D]

A dangerously phrased question, sir.

History, philosophy and religion necessarily overlap. Particularly for the Catholic religion, not only it is notoriously the successful alchemy of Greek philosophy, Roman Law and Jewish Theology, but it mothered one of the most important revolution in the western hemisphere. Perhaps, ultimately it destroyed a thousand year of progress to restore the darkest moment of mankind.

St. Paul was a Roman cavalry officer who converted after ruthlessly leading the most degenerate prosecution of early Christians. His conversion and conviction inspired generations, and deserves a place in history as he does in Sunday school.

As where things most of the times go wrong is not the question itselves but the phrasing. Having re-read it; it could be.

Can't agree more that things overlap, wheter that needs to be necessary I don't know. Science has been used by religions to keep the mass "unknown".
Like the Greeks had this Orcale with fire and doors that opened mysteriously, but was in fact nothing more a combination of "some" wireing and the communicating vessels.

But you write St.Paul was converted....maybe I've read something completly different then.

"The Scriptures do not record the deaths of Peter or Paul, or indeed any of the Apostles except for James the son of Zebedee (Acts 12:2), but they are clearly anticipated (see the readings below), and from an early date it has been said that they were martyred at Rome at the command of the Emperor Nero, and buried there. As a Roman citizen, Paul would probably have been beheaded with a sword. It is said of Peter that he was crucified head downward. The present Church of St Peter in Rome replaces earlier churches built on the same site going back to the time of the Emperor Constantine, in whose reign a church was built there on what was believed to be the burial site of Peter. Excavations under the church suggest that the belief is older than Constantine."

ill have to leave so i can watch you tube , really miss youtube , it was really improving my spanish !!




kozz -> RE: Back again (Sep. 15 2009 2:23:45)

That's a ****ty to be separated from your girlfriend due to money issues.
But than again, you seem to have a livestyle concentrated on your wellbehaviour. Being all over the world for some time, really being there.
That's something I am thinking about at the moment.

Switched from job a while ago. Working in R&D as a chemist to a IT-er in Storage. I really liked it at first, but it is a lot of desk work, hence the backproblems, and perhaps also the brain problems [:D]

A girlfriend of mine went to Barcelona this weekend to find herselves a job as an architect because she was fired overhere. I am thinking about it also moving to spain, but have no idea if there will be any work.

About the segiruiyas recording, I'll try to record some today or tomorrow and I'll post it.

Haven't slept for 30 hours now, so the muscles are relaxed, the head is in a good state of mind for some segiruiyas. Perhaps the diazepam and alprazolam will also contribute to a nice feeling :)

cheers mate!

Careful with amigo !! nice to chill though!

Yes i have been in asia fair time now m, just studying Culture and liguistics , the GF things is bad ****e !! but that's life i guess, ill give myself 3 months to egt my guitar up to scratch, lose a few pounds and get Spanish going , all good.

Oh man Spain is pretty hard to get work , of course depends on what you want to do, but what an awesome place to reside!! my backup plan is totally Spain! would be awesome.

kozz -> RE: Back again (Sep. 16 2009 7:17:01)
