Congratulations on your win the rules are simple you win you get prize..dont brake the rules

Yeah, I agree absolutely.

Well done Doug!
I'll PM gj to arrange getting it sent out to you if you would please pm him also with your postal address and preferred language version (English or Spanish)

It's a good CD. I think you'll like it.
The booklet's not that great IMO, but the CD is a great reference.

And in 20 years time when you come across it again, it will hopefully bring back a happy memory for you too!

cheers,

Ron

I'm Louis_B's dad and I'm sure he'll post a reply when he gets back from school.

He didn't see the final judge's scores and I'm sure he'll be thrilled to come in third.
This is the first challenge he has ever entered so this has been a voyage of discovery for him - I'm sure he'll be entering future challenges

Congratulations to Ricecrackerphoto and the other entrants - you're all winners as far as I'm concerned!!

Many thanks to Ailsa and Anthony for organising the challenge so well and to the judges for their comments.

Cheers
Graham_B

Wine and a 12 year old Louis_B do not mix methinks

Wow I came 3rd!

Congratulations to Ricecrackerphoto and to the other contestants. I found this solea to be a worthy challenge.

Many thanks to Ailsa and Anthony who organised this challenge excellently and were very encouraging, and to the judges whose constructive feedback is really appreciated.

I’m new to this forum but I’ve been playing for a few years now and have an excellent teacher (I had to say that!).

I will resist Pimientito’s advice to ‘drink some wine’ for a few years yet - I’m only 12 years old and my parents would not be too pleased!!

With more practice and experience, and as I grow (my hands are still small!!), I hope to continue to improve and look forward to participating in future challenges.

I received the CD over the weekend. Thank you again to everyone for organizing this challenge and those who contributed to the prize. The CD is great and immensely useful. I haven't stopped listening to it since it arrived.

What is the next challenge?

Doug

Hi,

I've been learning Flamenco Guitar for almost 1.5 year now. I wanted to practice what's played in this challenge. Anybody knows where I can get the TAB for this? Thanks

Regards, Farid
