Of course, it's there for my own personal (fair)use (I actually own a copy of the book, which is too advanced for me, I think), but I can't figure out how to prevent public access. Is there anyone who could take a look and figure it out for me?
Again, it's for my own personal use, but I can't figure out how to secure it to prevent other people from downloading it. So I sure hope no one downloads them. Maybe someone could tell me how to prevent public download?

RE: Challenge, Beginners Thread (in reply to Florian)
Alright, I was starting to wear myself out compiling the long list of excuses for why I don’t have the available time to join in on the challenge, but then I realized that it’s just easier to go ahead and throw my hat in the ring.
So, count me in.
I’ve actually been planning to upload a similar basic bulerias compas for a while now, but that plan keeps getting sidetracked by other stuff I have more pressing needs to work on. It’s really nice to see the enthusiasm all this “challenge” business has engendered here, so I wanna get in on the spirit. So, I’ll get something worked up soon, whether it’s an official entry or something similar, entered “out of competition”….
Thanks, Florian, for the facilitation, tabs, audios, breathless counting, etc.! What did you use for the slow version? It’s really clean sounding, with not much of that “extra” unwanted sound that you get from other slowdowners……

only lets me upload .bmp and its impossible to get those dimensions and keep the file size under 30kb.. anyway.. ill find a way. sorry to talk about this on this thread..
I've given up trying to upload my pics. What are you doing on this thread anyway? You're SURELY not entering the Beginners challenge. If so, I contest your entry here and now. Just stepping outside.
I think it must be a bitmap (.bmp) and under 30kb.

...that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said about my playing.. but I'm not sure I belong on either challenge... maybe somewhere between the 2........Hows about a "begintermediate" challenge???
RE: Challenge, Beginners Thread (in reply to cathulu)
I need a little help. (not sure if I'm asking the right question, but please correct me if necessary)
For the stronger beats, do I just play them harder (make them come out more), or do you play the strong beats where you build up pressure in the palm of your hand and the other ones without? (yup, totally newbie question.
For the picture, I found out that you need to have the exact pixel size. I tried smaller than the 145x145 and it wouldn't work, but once I set it exactly to that size, it worked great. (it was a jpg)

As I said before, comparing the printed version to yours is really helpful as you've generally included more fingering notes and you've organised the measures differently (which helps to see the compas).
So your version doesn't become less useful in any way.
P.D. I hope you didn't mean that responsibility for chattiness lays with me. I have to go back to work very soon. It will be a tough burden...
RE: Challenge, Beginners Thread (in reply to Florian)
Hey Flo, this may be a dumb question but if I multi-track the compas/palmas with the solo guitar or counting version, which beat of the palmas should the guitar start on?
