No no, I'm still here.

Welcome back Kiks!
Was just wondering the other day if you'd be back. No challenges, some good discussions, some trolls, as we say here, same sh*t different day.
A lot of good stuff on the swap shop to catch up on.

God no way... the foro is a place for serious disussions about flamenco (and black dildos). Here is no place for jokes.

El Kiko--
As a luthier and a flamenco guitarist, I have to comment on the guitar pictured in your avatar. What kind of guitar is that? The bridge and plantilla would seem to indicate a steel-string folk guitar. Have you no shame?

Wow ...the old crew back together ...
Piwin....yeah i jazzed it up with all those augminished and demented chords...
.
constructordeguitarras you are right of course ,,,,an old pic that an old gilrfreind drew of me years ago ....all painstakingly in dots .. no lines ,,,she complained ..."you had to be wearing a checked shirt eh ?...
and yes its a Ovation guitar with the round fibre back ,,,thats why it looks flat , with no depth ... a few people mentioned that ....it was from my jazz days ....it made me feel like John McLaughlin ...and of course I sounded exactly the same as him, in speed and agility and i never made any mistakes ever ... ....

(disclaimer ..some of these facts may be exaggerated for entertainment reasons )

FredGuitarraOle ... I was in serra de estrella about 2 weeks ago ,,but forbidden to sing Pohno Carro , tiro carro , ha hora que eu quiser...banned by my wife .....But , o meu sogro tem essa musica todo tempo em seu carro.....he's a pimba guy ....

So we need a new project .... jeez I leave the foro for a few months and bang ....Donald Trump is president ..England fail in an election and cant leave europe ......I took my eye off the ball a bit there....ill have to put all this right first ....and then play a bit ...

Welcome back, El Kiko. As you noted, you leave for a few months and, to quote Yeats: "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold."

It will be good to have some adult supervision again.

Welcome back Kiko,

Other than Doitstugin over sharing his private medical records with the Foro, every thing is pretty much normal.

IMO the moronic minor scale works well over the demented chord.... I use it in all my solos....

Escribano ... yes the job is working out ok ... I have a bit more time now as i have things a bit more under control....thanks ... still have a lot of new stuff for me to get on with though .. but i should be able to post something at the weekends at least ....How about your pics ,,,are you still posting them ... ??

mark indigo .....Moronic minor ....excellent .....
I do play a lot of Accidentals ( aka . mistakes ) and usually close to the Bar line ( pub queue) trying always to keep up with the Metronome (a dwarf that lives in the city) .
I try not to eat too many beans before playing , thus avoiding the Passing Tone...
Plenty of Glissando and vibrato to hide those "accidentals " and
Bearing in mind when you use a capo you will be using a "Transposition" ...or a man with a dress...
