Very cool! Olé!! If it's a conference does it mean you were playing in front of other practitioners or were there patients too?

Stressful! They probably analyzed the sh** out of your performance! Kidding, kidding. Very cool in any event. If you're into Argentine tango, you may like this. It's obviously not classic tango music, no Astor Piazzolla for sure, but there's clearly some inspiration from traditional Argentine music and often from tango. It makes for some nice music for a rainy morning. These probably aren't the best examples of the tango inspiration but I can't find the ones I'm looking for!

I suggest you give Cacho Tirao a listen
Thanks I'll give it a listen!

As an example, playing his Adios Nonino interpretation is extremely difficult in both left and right hands.
Can it be as hard as Dudnote's aam rasgueado. If so, I quit! I'm gonna go buy a pick like the rational people do

I've noticed you guys enjoy Argentine tango. Knowing that you are also flamenco guitar fans, then I suggest you give Cacho Tirao a listen.
Look what I found at the record store for $2.75!!! Was thinking of starting a vinyl thread, I've picked up some really cool stuff the last few weeks since I fixed an old Technics someone gave me. Been a south american folk fan for a while now, would love to find a Carlos DeFulvio or Eduardo Falu or something.

Reminds me of Stanley Jordan's way of playing the electric guitar
