And may everyone have great nail care, filing and glue protection, mastering the compas forms on their Labella fitted Condes with metronomes clicking away, when not studying the cante. Cheers!
Happy new year to all! May the passion of flamenco fill everyone's life making their everyday meaningful and fun!
Happy studying with all the patience and clarity of mind.
Stop reading the post here if you want to continue having a peaceful first day of the year.
Here is a crazy not original, troublesome idea for everyone at the foro. Could we take turns playing a falseta or two on a specific metronome mark and a specific palo and key, also strumming the rhythm on muted strings for some measures too, and then I can stitch it up on Sony Vegas or something, and have something nice to remember for future necroposting generations?
"Anything you do can be fixed. What you cannot fix is the perfection of a blank page. What you cannot fix is that pristine, unsullied whiteness of a screen or a page with nothing on it—because there’s nothing there to fix."
Great idea. Id love to but I'm currently confined to my bed with the worst case of flu I can remember. If this gains some legs, when I emerge I'll join in.

We achieved a similar thing years ago, but not a HUGE amount of participation. Perhaps others can join and add to it?
Thank you for letting me know. This was exactly what I meant http://www.foroflamenco.com/upfiles/803/Sq48115.mp3 I just though I would also include a video collage if people felt it right, of their hands and guitar or faces too (even rough phone videos or something) so it could be more catchy to the eye.
But it has already been done very nicely above so let's not sweat over this again.
