kozz -> Hello from Eindhoven again! (Aug. 23 2014 17:57:52)

Hi all,
I’ve been an active member on this forum a few years ago, some will remember me maybe.
My interest got focust in electronics and slowly faded away here, as did my flamenco guitar playing.

Around this summer I picked up my guitar again, a beautiful Anders Eliasson blanca peghed. Damn what a beauty it is. Strings are worn, but the guitar sounds so good.
Funny thing was that I never stopped doing those finger exercises for rageados, in the bus, in a bar, just everywhere, and although all other things were/are not in shape, that went pretty well. Seems like a good exercise.

I found the good energy again to play guitar and start learnin. Will post some video shortly to get your peoples advises!

Also took the step to get into woodworking as a hobby, no plans to build a guitar yet, just working with wood and hand tools. I’ve never worked with wood before but it seems real interesting.
Especially curious about how-it-feels.
Got myself two second hand old Stanley planes which I’m gonna restore, hopefully in a good way. Seems like a nice project and a nice way to get to know your tools.
I’m gonna re-read some threats with a new perspective!


Remco

Not allowed to place pictures yet/ or just here, the planes look great [;)]

Welcome back! And whatever you do, don't lose compas...[:)]

Hey Kozz! Good to see you back![:)]



Pgh_flamenco -> RE: Hello from Eindhoven again! (Aug. 23 2014 20:13:56)

Welcome back. Did you open a bed and breakfast? IIRC that was something that interested you at the time...



Escribano -> RE: Hello from Eindhoven again! (Aug. 24 2014 9:20:26)

Hi Kozz, good to hear from you again. My playing has dried up in favour of electric blues for a while but I still listen to flamenco when I am working.

I have also developed an interest in electronics (integrating devices with phone apps) and have a product ready for kickstarter. Perhaps we should put our heads together?

Hee pgh, yes thats right.
Unfortunately after we’ve had been looking around for a finca near Barcelona our relationship ended.
She eventually started RetreatYourself weekends in The Netherlands, about yoga and mindfulness.
Thats really going well, she’s having even retreat weeks in France and Ibiza, a webshop, and next year a book will be ready.
I’m really proud of her that she achieved this, she really worked hard for it.

Hee Simon,
yeah I recon that, never stopped listening flamenco.
Great to see you’re still busy in that direction. Interfacing is really cool.
We can always put our heads together Simon, but my primary electronics interest was for modular electronic music, bleep bloop [8D]
But lets have contact anyway, who knows!



gerundino63 -> RE: Hello from Eindhoven again! (Aug. 24 2014 18:34:12)

@Kozz, no, not anymore, unfortunatelly the restaurant went out of bussiness this winter.....playing there was a nice and a very educational time for me. The owners of the restaurant have a better time now.....being employed instead of your own boss have some benefites too

El Kiko -> RE: Hello from Eindhoven again! (Aug. 24 2014 20:36:30)

Kozz....[8D][8D][:D][:D]...I wondered what happened to you ?/

you went to India ? , so you must be proficient on the sitar by now ,, tabla and all ...

Its good to hear they have a better time now, being in a financial uncertain situation is not what you want.
So you've got a lot more time to explore the other palos isn't it?
[:D]

Unfortunately no India, but I got a set of tablas and a banshuri (flute) made there. (as decoration [:D])
Healthy again, but still a dropfeet. I changed jobs also, and for the first time in years I really like what I am doin, and that gives energy.

Good to see so many people are still around!

Depends on what you call mistakes.
I don't see playing out of compas as a mistake, for many its not natural, and its a road to get playing in compas, and awesome if you get to do so every time a little better.
(For the compas police: I am not saying playing out of compas is correct, but hey we all have to start somewhere.)

I did check some video's in that awesome long thread, progression all the way El Kiko!

Thanks Lenador!



Anders Eliasson -> RE: Hello from Eindhoven again! (Aug. 26 2014 16:20:25)

Thats very good news Kozz. I´m glad you kept the guitar. Its very nice.

Take it easy, so that the flamenco bug doesnt bite to hard again. I´ve been concentrating on the fiddle for 2,5years, and the guitar, I hardly play anymore.

Now, that sounds very tempting. Keeping your own business going can be very energy consuming. I like the building part of the show, but all the rest.........

Yes, there were times I'd better had sold it, but just couldn't.

Easy it is Anders, looking back it was flamenco above, under, and everywhere, but the growth didn't follow that. Too much in too little time.
Maybe woodworking will take it over [:D]

Ah yeah, the Irish fiddle...thats great you kept doin that. Somehow I thought you would have build a harp after the violin....reminds me of the workshop blog, gonna check!
