RE: Intermediate Challenge??? (in reply to at_leo_87) 
this is great and not quite so easy, i'd say this is a bit over the intermediate level, but that's what the challenge is about, we should push ourselves to play and sound better...although i can't compete, i'll learn this one too!

and let me encourage anyone who feels the material may be too much to give it a try anyway, after two challenges and listening to myself many times i've experienced that my playing improved a whole lot overall thanks to concentrating on detail...

RE: Intermediate Challenge??? (in reply to at_leo_87) 
sure! if you got the time.

if somebody wants to make a better combined audio version, that'll be cool too.

and oh yeah, it's looking pretty damn hard. is two months enough?

Woah, guys, that's some serious stuff... I'm not sure if I'll be able to find the time to give this a decent shot, but I'm not giving up just yet

Stu: a combined tab would be great! I haven't actually seen any of the tabs yet.

Hi guys,
Im afraid I have to pass this challenge. I was lucky and got myself together with a singer and a dancer and we are preparing a tientos/tangos. Tientos is first time for me and so is doing a whole piece so I'll have put my focus on that.
Best of luck to everybody in the challenge.

That's awesome, congratulations! I recently started playing for a dance class. Very stressful, but a lot of fun, and a great learning experience.

thanks guys. It's definetily a challenge but very inspiring one. first to compose the show and then performing it. For me thats the bigger challange, to perform it and stay cool. I hope somebody will record it so I could share it with all of you, but lets see.

Aleksi, sounds like you've got great things going on. I've accompanied singing on a pair of dance classes and it was great fun, but I have yet to play on a stage.. for me that will be a challenge in itself. Break a leg!

Now this challenge.. I hope I can shake loose enough practice time for it, cause I'll need a lot! Initially I didn't like the chicuelo part all that much but after listening to it and playing the first parts it has grown on me. Hope I still feel that way after a month. :)

RE: Intermediate Challenge??? (in reply to at_leo_87) 
I'm so sad about this but I have to cancel both my int/beginner challenge.
I kept putting this off but now I see clearly that I'm not going to have the time to participate in any of this, not right now.

But the good thing about this that I may be accepted to a Jazz conservatory from september. I have to prepare for my entrance-exams, that means learning a huge number of standards, theory, practicing guitar, piano AND some singing as well....
That's a LOT. My little son is just about 3 months old.... And I started playing some gigs with a very talented gipsy jazz guitarist as well that also needs a long repertoire to be complete -altought the plan the 2 repertoire have lot in common.
There are other reasons as well but I don't want to bore anybody..

Sorry but this time i have to quit, but would like to encourage the others to do their best! And I may can take part in the composition-challenge as I have some stuff in my pocket yet

deniz provided us with some compas loops when we downloaded the songs and tabs. does anybody have anymore?

let's just play at whatever speed we're comfortable with.
