El Kiko -> RE: What is the mythology behind the smart asses on the Foro ? (Jul. 19 2012 21:41:23)

I suppose you'd be expecting a smartass answer from me , but no ....
I don't think its anything to do with flamenco specifically , just some people are serious and some are not , in all types of life.
As to flamenco , its recreational , its for enjoyment , it should be done in a fun way , you should play with a smile and have fun doing it , maybe it will sound better , maybe not but it will feel better.
People come for to this foro for enjoyment , sure there's a bit of study and some learning etc .. but it should be fun too and that's how I treat it.
I have serious things in my life I don't need more from a passtime on a computer.
Having said that , there are times to be serious and understanding on here as well .
Also I see things getting even tooo serious , especially these big disscussions about , eg .. the name or function of a chord ....i tend to switch off those things now , they wont help me play .
I think that you can explain many things that are useful in a lighthearted way or a serious way , one is more enjoyable , but both should carry the same information.....
The only thing about being funny or sarcastic , as you put it , is first you must be able to laugh about yourself ... this is important , this may help people identify with you ,
If you are just generally sarcastic about others , its the same as just having a go at people , this will get annoying real quick ...
However perhaps not so much if I start by ridiculing myself ,.......before I move on to Estebanana,..........
Which is more "flamenco" and why?
I suppose the lighter side of things is more flamenco , surely , the flamenco attitude is a bit devil may care kind of thing ...
ANd maybe Being fun is a trait people generally appreciate in others.
Don't be overly serious
