Florian -> Hello Gents :) (May 17 2023 12:05:12)

Hello Simon:). (becool80)

What's it been 10 years ?

Just wanted to say hello and that I'm blown away and very happy to see this place still alive and kicking 💪
Honestly you should be proud.....nothing on the internet lasts 20 years...

I'm slowly getting back into flamenco.....day 3 :)



orsonw -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 17 2023 12:25:19)

Hello Florian

Welcome back!



Florian -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 17 2023 12:28:32)

Thank you brother :)

Good to see you, I remember the profile pic x

So many familiar names still.



Ricardo -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 17 2023 13:00:37)

I saw that sevillanas and was going to harass you to come back.

Flamenco and Cobra Kai never die!!!



Florian -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 17 2023 13:19:05)

Ahaha I would have been honoured
and come back in a sec if you asked lol

Life goes in circles ....I never ever thought
I'd be back here.

To be fair even when I wasn't here I was keeping an eye on Foro Flamenco on Facebook and would get angry when people spammed with no flamenco related stuff... :)


This place will always be sacred to me....so many years, so many memories.

No matter where you go what you do flamenco love never dies.

Mark2 -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 17 2023 16:40:41)

Ha-knew you'd be back at some point. I've never been able to remove the virus, why should you?



gerundino63 -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 17 2023 16:45:13)

Hey Florian!

Missed you man!
How back into flamenco, is allways good.
I sincerely hope live has been good to you.

Peter

You know.

Welcome back.



Florian -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 17 2023 22:42:06)

Hey ☺️

Great to see you boys again x


Life's been good no complaints, I kind of stopped playing and being involved with flamenco when I got married, had a new baby and a new mortgage, I was new at everything I didn't know how to do it all lol

Now I have 2 kids, a 2 year old and a 8 year old this time around I feel like I'm picking up guitar for better reasons, purely for myself and the music itself.

I have a long way back, practicing little basic things till it feels natural again but I love it, love the challenge

Hopefully it teaches my son anyone can do anything and go back to the beginning if you need to 😂


So happy to see you boys still here x



PS ..I did think of you during lockdown, I thought If anyone would be happy about lockdown would be flamenco guitarists, getting paid to stay home and practice which you would do for fun anyway. I would have loved it back when I was playing. My life was a lockdown lol.

Best time of my life, and when the gov. Unemployment started rolling in, wow…the best part was the kids (and therefore I), NEVER got sick once! Ever since I have been like when is the NEXT pandemic???[:D][:D]



Florian -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 18 2023 13:34:33)

@Ricardo

haha yeah kids tend to diminish it a bit, we taught...awesome Netflix all day ..

yeah, nah they ruined the pandemic for me...always wanting to be entertained and use the tv.

If me and my wife were jealous of anyone during the pandemic were couples with no kids...we had completely different experiences.



orsonw -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 18 2023 19:37:48)

Can we tempt you into an informal picado challenge Florian? Like the old days.

Grisha -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 19 2023 0:21:43)

Florian, holy cow! So happy to see you back! Let's do that Nino de Pura scale again!



Florian -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 19 2023 4:01:59)

O M G !!!! My Grisha x so much catching up to do, btw I got muscles too now !! Lol been training a lot. Don't ask me for a photo because I won't post one ! :)


Haha you crazies....give me 6 months to get comfortable again..


But this time around I promised myself and Henrik Il be a better musician...focus more on melody and compas...

70% of my focus in the past was on picado





This is surreal feel like I found some loophole into 10 years ago in my life lol if Todk and Jason appear too Il lose mind.


I wanna see some recent stuff from you guys where do I go ?



duende -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 19 2023 6:04:52)

silddx -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 19 2023 10:01:47)

This is looking very happy and positive. Hopefully this means the Challenges will will be reinstated too.



Florian -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 19 2023 13:15:43)

I played guitar for 4 days in the last 10 years
But I'm down for whatever :)



Florian -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 19 2023 13:46:01)

I'm looking for some Antonio Ray videos on YouTube cause I love his new album....first thing I see Grisha' Antonio Rey's scale perfectly :)

Haha, I wish! I get maybe $40 a month from YouTube. But then again, I haven't posted in a year. [:D] But with my brother Florian back, I might start posting again!

You got muscles, Flo? Good for you! It looks like we are taking turns, as I lost mine after 42. But, challenge accepted!



Florian -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 19 2023 14:29:14)

Whhhhat ?? You lost yours ?? I only got mine cause you had em....


Wtf $40 bucks a month ? I'm on YouTube right now going through everything you did in the last 10 years....some of them have 250 K views !!

There's not a guitarist out there whos music you can't play ( ofcourse with enough time to master it), just as good or better. Il put money on it... Not 1 ( I'm getting ideas for challenges :) )


Have you got an Instagram too ?

$41 after tonight ;) I got you buddy x



ernandez R -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 19 2023 15:53:22)

At the begsining of our coved lockdown, day three if I recall, I lost a foot race with a bull moose and spent a year couch bound. I spent endless hours porusing the back pages of the Foro on those painful sleepless nights, getting to know the Foro members of old and a community that had moved on for various reasons. Seems in the last year a few of you have popped back on the radar like ghosts from a past…

Anyway welcome back to the fight, thus time I’m sure our side will win!

HR



Florian -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 19 2023 16:24:36)

Hehe hello ernandez thank you and nice to meet you.



Escribano -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 20 2023 8:50:45)

Welcome back, Florian! I think you will be an even better flamenco guitarist as age slows things down and you can appreciate the feeling more.

This forum is still going because it is based on old technology that just works. I daren't touch it though I may move us to a new platform before it completely breaks.



Florian -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 20 2023 11:08:28)

Simon!!!! :)

So good to see you sir, yes I hope so I mean I grew up here, I cringe to read back some of the **** I might have said back then lol, some of my " rebellious " years.

The good thing is I'm in no hurry for anything, not looking to perform or impress... Just miss the feeling of creating something, listening to it and think, wow that was me.

I tried other avenues...there's nothing like it, at the end of the night when you listen back to a recording or a video you did that you actually like

I read about the donation page how can I help ? I'm down for whatever. This place is sacred ,has given me and others so much enjoyment and happiness and over the years.

Can we do a challenge or something with a small unoticable entry fee so many can get involved ?

Or
I can donate or make it a monthly thing.

Or
Another idea was to challenge Grisha to play anything we choose after a month and if he can't we ban him 😂

and if he can I pay $ 100 and everyone else involved in the picking the song donates whatever they can like an auction ? Ofcourse I haven't ran any of this by Grisha lol



bahen -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 20 2023 13:22:15)

Welcome back, Florian! Hope you've been keeping well.



Florian -> RE: Hello Gents :) (May 20 2023 13:37:27)

Bahen :) !!

Can't believe all the names I still remember

Thank you, been good brother and you ? x


First thing I need to do is figure out how to download Spotify and convert to MP3 for transcribing, I googled and there's a way .

Update my flamenco albums with last 10 years..

Edit.

I found an app, download about 10 albums already
