martin I think you mean September 10th and not August 10th!
-
Blaise Laflamme Yes! Just mentioned it in the live stream, come in!
-
-
martin Monsters of Nylon are El Colibri and Koyunbaba mainly for this challenge?
-
Blaise Laflamme No, just examples for massive undertakings, feel free to tackle different titans and monsters in all shapes and sizes!
-
martin ok, sounds good
-
Blaise Laflamme I am thinking of Flight of the Bumblebee (blindfolded with both hands tied behind my back) or an arrangement of the Rite of Spring played only on the sixth string.

Eric Phillips
... El Colibri already looks like a good challenge!! 
-
Blaise Laflamme Oh yes, far beyond my ability, but I know you could play it.
-
Eric Phillips we both probably can play it up to some speed... but like master Tamayo... OMG! Could be interesting to learn it as an exercise but personally not for a concert piece.
-
Eric Phillips I'd pay real money to see either of those, lol
