Duende is a **** tourist word that has lost any and all meaning or value it may have once had though overuse and misuse, and which now pretty much means whatever the hell the person saying it wants it to mean.
“Oh, man. This meatball sammich is sooooo good. It has duende!”
wish duence was playing hopelessly out of compas id be a legend!!!
havent you been paying attention ..it dosent matter if you have duende...infact you wouldnt even have to play at all if you had duende...people would just know it.. compas is just a state of mind...duende is where its at !!
but you are born with duende if you dont know exactly what it means before you even touch the guitar you probably dont have it
is it like having the courage to go to the bathroom in front of strangers and not even carring about it ?
how can i explain this to you .....its like different belts of duende , like theres yellow, orange, red, blue , green, brown and black..and then the dans....and then u become like a grand master
duende 's secret weapon and most lethal move is confusion..
when theres nothing else to be said..and the batlle dosent go your way, u throw in a "duende mention" and everybody is stunt in their spot scared..looking around confused ...not knowing how to dispute or continue to batlle..looking up not knowing where the next punch will come from..
also if you defeat someone with more duende you get his duende...and u can even chanell your duende togheder with different peoples duende to make more duende to deafeat someone who has alot of duende..
oh foghet it its too complicated to explain ..u dont understand

the trick with duende is to cook it right..it can be your best friend, take you to places u havent been or if you mess up it just tastes like mushrooms
Ye are all Evil Dogs and show no respect for the partaking of the Sacred Medicine of the True Duende which ye shall never know through the playing of the earthly picado, no matter how fast ye shall play it"

I’ve been doing a little research of my own and have discovered that duende is actually an ancient Sanskrit word that means “The hair growing on the human upper lip, especially when cultivated and groomed.”
