I will likely regret that decision :-) but game for trying.
go for it. no regrets!
ok, so far we only have deteresa1 villain rogeliocan cuerdasdulces fevictor
where's the rest of you?
I had originally decided to stay out of this competition, so that the other noble guitarists on this foro might have even a fighting chance, but alas, the pull of a challenge is just too great. I am in!
RE: intermediate challenge ideas (in reply to aleksi)
count me in too!
and i'd also like something not too complicated so that i can really get it under my fingers. pepe and chichuelo's solea x bul was too much for me. i want to push and challenge myself but i also want the chance to get a piece to a level where i'm not still working on basic technical stuff.
RE: intermediate challenge ideas (in reply to at_leo_87)
Super, where is it?
Setting the archive I was thinking that beginner challenges could target specific techniques instead of palos. Right now all the challenges are named after palos. If they focused on technique you could cover them all, which is good practice for beginners. Right now, out of 5 challenges there were 2 bulerias and 2 tangos. Of course the techniques are part of palos... anyway, just an idea.
... I don't know if tremolo and arpeggios have been included yet.

how about we do a solea falseta every other month that focuses on one technique. and after a year, you will have a good collection of solea falsetas and stronger technique.
RE: intermediate challenge ideas (in reply to aleksi)

jose said he'll post it today.
adam, it only counts if you save a youth center from being taken down and reject the hot girl and go for the cute but dorky girl.

lol aleksi there are alot of softwares that change ip in a very easy way my fav is Hot Spot Shield and it is free just launch the program and it will change ur ip mostly to the US when you're done turn it off because it will eventually make ur internet slower
and alternative way is by changing it from the browser for ex in Internet explorer: press on Tools->Internet option->choose the connections tab->press lan settings->you should see "Proxy server" with two empty boxes (address) and (port) you fill the info -> and ur ip will be changed and dont forget to tick the option (use a proxy server for your lan(these settings will not apply to dial-up of VPN connections). I will list some workin proxies for u ( just fill them in the empty boxes I mentioned up there address and port and press enter ) some might not work ( depends on the city you're located in ) the proxy I used recently is : address:122.116.13.42 Port:8088 some others are : address:122.116.13.42 Port:8088 address:81.13.209.127 Port:8090 address:68.68.96.110 Port:81 address:184.154.83.136 Port:81 address:72.73.25.190 Port:8118
