RE: **Tangos Beginners' Challenge he... (in reply to polishcomedy)

Hi all,

Well after much deliberating, and at the last minute, I reckon I shouldn't enter this one - I did learn it quite quickly and have found it ok to play... Sorry!

This leaves me in a dilemma though, as the intermediate sounds nigh on impossible and I can't learn from tabs a hundredth as quickly as learning from video - will go post over there to see if anyone's got it on vid as I did set myself the challenge of entering at least one this time round.

Good luck everyone!

Cheers,

Jenny

just a quick note: if you sent in your submission but haven't heard back from me then most likely i didnt receive it or you sent it to the wrong address, so please double check!

Ah I long for the day when I find the beginners challenge too easy

But you are right - I did say that if it wasn't a challenge for you, you are probably intermediate. I think you still have quite a long time to get that one under your belt - I'd give it a try.

EDIT: Jen, just looked at the dates, you have until October 12th for the intermediate challenge, that's about six weeks.

Oh come on, don't chicken out on us now at the last minute! Oh it was too easy for me so I won't upload it. All these chickens blowing off at the last minute... Waaahhhaaaahhh

If it was last minute, you must have recorded it. Let's here it then please!!!

Anthony will probably have lots of problems uploading the audios given all the complaints lately - so you probably have time to reconsider even!!

PS I hear you on the intermediate challenge. It is pretty difficult that one. There really needs to be a better way to select pieces for these challenges, from some standard repertoire like classical. All these gunslingers keep upping the ante!
