Thanks. By the way I checked out your channel. You should do more. Also I can relate to your issues with cubital tunnel syndrome. It took 8 months to recover doing similar exercises.
@@PluckinNylon I woke one morning and I couldn’t straighten my left arm at the elbow. It caused great pain when I tried. My LH ring and pinky fingers were virtually useless like they were paralysed except for the feeling of pins and needles. Playing guitar was not possible for weeks. I suspect the main reason was the way I sat at my computer desk with my left arm resting heavily on my elbow. Bad habit. Before this major event I used to often wake up with no feeling in my fingers because of the way I slept with my arm bent. The effects of these things must have been cumulative. I’m not sure, but the final straw might have been when I hit my left elbow against the wall next my bed that during the night. I have a vague sleepy memory of this happening but It did not cause me to wake up fully.
@@PluckinNylon I just let nature take it's course and my nerve damage healed itself over 9 months. I still wake up with numbness in my left fingers sometimes but I think that is more to do with how I sleep with a bent wrist than some residue effect of previous nerve damage. I am acutely aware of this past bad experience and don’t take my present good health for granted. I do daily finger and wrist stretching exercises similar to what you do so I have nothing significantly new to add. Have a look at my “hand stretches” video. These are my daily exercises. ruclips.net/video/K80tHOZan98/видео.html
Sal, how common is it it to switch between compas 3/4 time and 4/4 time within an extended song? I'll put a farruca in the middle of a bulerias for example. Or is that like oil and water?
It’s not something I would (normally) think of doing. My first thought is “oil and water”. But that’s a knee jerk reaction and doesn’t really reflect how I would react if I heard such a hybrid piece of music. As to whether mixing not only time signatures but also 2 different Palos (Farruca and Bulerias) can be considered flamenco, avant-garde or total chaos is debatable and entirely up to the listener. A flamenco purist would say it’s not flamenco - End of story. A more liberal aficionado would argue that since flamenco could never have evolved into its present form without such experimentation over 150 years, such variations are acceptable. For example if a dancer and guitarist agree they want to perform a buleria with a farruca in the middle, so be it. There’s nothing odd about that. If a solo guitarist wants to play around with such combinations, that is a personal choice and there is no right or wrong about it. I think the main issue is a matter of taste and whether the listener will tolerate, or even care how you manipulate a piece of music. If they expect a traditional sounding Buleria they may be disappointed and confused. If the listener likes surprises and appreciates creative expression they will enjoy it. The real question is, Does it sound good to you? If yes, it may also capture the attention and appreciation of the listener. Personally I DO tend to lean towards experimenting and combining traditional ideas to create something new. Maybe not combining Farruca and Bulerias but that’s just me. I’m not saying it’s bad or wrong it’s just not something I would think of doing. I don’t know this for sure but I suspect there are more liberal aficionados in this world than snotty nosed purists. I for one would like to hear what you have created.
