heres one fdh falseta. I've 0 fdh falsetas so it could be interresting to do one or two of them. Maybe we should do voting poll for what are we going to play.

You'd want to start with basic canonical quantization - probably applied to the free Klein-Gordon scalar field, and maybe also a simple non-interacting Dirac field, just to get a feel for things - and then looking at the fermionic fields describing quarks and the strong force, putting it all together and quantizing the SU(3)xSU(2)xU(1) standard model gauge theory, then discussing the behavior of various simple string theory Lagrangians under quantization and consequences for quantum gravity.
Hi ramparts,
I tried putting that through a Google Translator, but no joy.
RE: intermediate challenge ideas (in reply to CuerdasDulces)
Ok jokes aside. Till now all playable, but most of the suggestions were advanced level and not intermediate.
So, any intermediate suggestions? For example, solea by pepe Habichuela, or his solea por buleria. Gerardo Nunes Vals flamencoo or his tanguillo. Or Tomatitos alegria from encuentro or Nino miguels buleria. Or even paco ceperos buleria de pura cepa. Or the 1guitar rumba by pepe habichuela.
These are all intermediate compositions IMO. You want to tanke any?
I think a single falseta is too less. It must be a complete composition or at least 3-4 falsetas with compas as tomatitos alegrias.

how about 1.5 of celosa? Or is that to advanced maybe?
Yes, that is nice piece and it's the first one I think is playable (for me), that means it isn't advanced. Does not mean I will play it well... And it would be great arpeggio practice.
But compared to the other stuff suggested it almost sounds like it's something you would choose for beginner. But I think the pieces chosen are always towards the 'advanced' beginner, or the 'advanced' intermediate. In any case, I'd go for this one!
RE: intermediate challenge ideas (in reply to CuerdasDulces)
Im already hosting the advanced challenge.. and I have chosen the composition.. So,.. the intermediate challenge..I´ll probably only participate. Depends on the composition.

you're way over the intermediate level
that is applied to you as well xirdneH_imiJ I mean you're way over the intermediate level as well. with all respect to all the parties why not let Doitsujin & xirdneH_imiJ ( The Advanced player ) decide a piece for us and I mean DECIDE not just suggest

hey guys, it isn't finalized yet but... jose tanaka has agreed to donate one of his lessons and tabs for the competition. as a prize, you'll get a one month subscription to his lessons website.
i think this is very generous of him. are you guys interested?
RE: intermediate challenge ideas (in reply to at_leo_87)
I definitely like the idea of doing one of the more neglected palos. Fandangos de Huelva, Alegrias, or Seguiriyas would be awesome. As a low-level intermediate I would prefer something simpler, with focus on compas and aire. How about Son de Campanas by Paco Pena?
i think this is a great opportunity. you guys let me know if there's anything specific you want and i'll see what i can work out. i cant match everyone's expectations but i'll try my best.
RE: intermediate challenge ideas (in reply to CuerdasDulces)
Tanaka has some beautiful falsetas up por bulerias. Very worth to learn. Thats very nice of him. How come that you have such a good contact to him leo?

im not sure what piece jose is going to pick. i suggested some bulerias, alegrias, tangos.
Those are good ideas. Bulería is a bit overdone, maybe tangos? I speak entirely selfishly, however, since I haven't really got a good solo tangos to play
An "intermediate" Gerardo piece (like the vals or the tanguillos) could also be a lot of fun.
