Thanks for the welcomes! Quick replies- quote:
i've been playing for just over a year too. How often do you practice? It usually varies- some days I will practice for a couple hours per day, or even half of the entire day between other tasks and jobs if the day is free. Other days I don't play for days at a time. I started with a semi-acoustic electric about a year and a half ago and sometimes I have gotten a bit of a headache from the specific frequencies produced by the electric, so I switch to the acoustic for flamenco and classical songs. THen the same thing happens for the acoustic, and I switch back. In the last couple months I've been just going steady on the acoustic. I'm glad I could upload the video clip, it's one of the best I could make. I tend to make mistakes constantly, and playing error free for a long period of time is difficult... something more to do with my memory than with my actual fingers' skill. Re:LOTR, Samwise and Koella, I like Lord of the Rings too (obviously hehe) and The Hobbit but they fall short of my interest in The Silmarillion. The movies are great, and I was really crazy for them and the collectibles for a while, but I got burned out. Also because they cost so much, and it's addictive to keep buying the collectibles. I ended up selling my 2nd Tower of Orthanc for 800 USD and buying my first guitar, back in november 2004. I am working on a new site, this time database driven, with a hand-made CMS and user-login system for others to come and do stuff. Along with it, I'd like to make a more general site that sits in front of it. Right now I have www.nemonint.com forwarding to sideshowweta.nemonint.com just for the Google and other search engine spiders to have more of a chance to see. Finally... The single sevillana I played is said to be copyrighted by Juan Serrano, Ron. THis is just what I'm seeing, but it may be that he created it when he was young (like the 40s or 50s?) and so .. I don't know! heh. My favourite forms are Alegrias por Medio, Farrucas, Soleares, Rumbas, and I think I'm soon going to have a great love of Granainas and Columbianas. But, I'm still very unseasoned in this. I have only had a modest introduction to the compas and sound styles of only some of the forms. All I've done so far is worked through and learned pretty much all the content of Flamenco: Basic Guitar Techniques by Juan Serrano. I have to post a question about playing shortly.. maybe tomorrow though.
