chris, that's really extreme! i wouldn't want to resort to that! kris, that's a great idea. then maybe i can rule myself out. has anyone ever seen that movie, the thing? the scene where they all have to test their blood to see if they're infected? [:D] quote:
Usually the dancer leads the speed ups, no? So what would you do if your test would result in that the dancer is not the best at it? yeah, during speed up, the dancer should lead. but i've experienced a few cases where the musicians had to ignore the dancer and lead the speed up. yikes! quote:
Those who saw their mistakes always developed further, at least thats what i have seen. i've noticed that too. in real life and in this forum. not only does it stop your development, it makes people want to slap you and remind you that you're not god. [:D] quote:
Take a baseball bat and crush cajon player's (or the dancer's) head to make it a lesson for the others who speed up for no good reason. but they're nice people. do i have to? [:(] quote:
problem is many dancers outside spain view flamenco differently, many do it as a hobby or exercise or just to be out of the house...and thats not even the problem but they are not spending any time on palmas at home or anywhere near enough....unlike us they dont have think to record themselfs so they can hear themselfs...so u have to use what you learned to give them practice ideas and how to approach it as if it was an instrument yes, a lot of the students still seem to think it's just "casual clapping along." one thing i've noticed is that the unsteady ones always hold their hands close to their chest like they're praying. the confident ones who take it seriously hold their hands further out. it's little trick i've learned to warn myself. lol. quote:
its a little strange...only happens during rumba. because no one takes rumbas seriously. [:D] jk! quote:
How is it when you are in xtc when playing at home, do you follow the metronome strictly or do you find yourselves shutting down the metronome and continue? ricardo and the rest of this forum have brainwashed me to try to be super tight with the metronome. of course, i'm not perfect but i feel pretty confident with my tempo maintaining abilities. the thing is, i always notice and feel the sensation of being pulled forward when in group situations, i just don't know how to pull it back. after awhile, my leg just gets really tired of stomping so hard! [:@] ok, a little off topic, but ricardo's idea that metronomes > compas loops has been resonating with me more and more lately. what are you guys practicing with nowadays?
