I am getting married in November of this year and who is playing at my wedding, yeah that's right this guy, Juan Serrano...how? well let's just say that it's good to know people...

[MoebiusTripper]

Lucky you! Have you seen Juan's blog at "My Space?" More video's of him there......

[Infected18322]

hey moebius, do you take a pills for the focal distonya?, o how you control it? can you ptrevent this?, sorry for my english but im scared,

[MoebiusTripper]

There is as yet no cure for "focal dystonia." But you can get "Botox" shots in the forearm of the affected hand...It will relax your hand so it does not cramp up and cause your fingers to curl up when you play..Unfortunately, the "Botox" shots are very expensive and cost about 900 dollars a shot. So make sure you warm up your playing hand before you play the guitar and do not over practice....At the first sign of pain, stop playing and relax your hands under hot water for a minute or two......

[MoebiusTripper]

Yes I do. He has a blog at "My Space" you should check out. He now lives and teaches in Florida. I live in Florida also. I used to be a flamenco guitarist until I developed a condition in my left hand called, "focal dystonia." It is a repetition injury. Some musicians can get it. The hand curls up if I touch the guitar strings...I first saw Juan in concert back in 1968. I am 61 now. At 49 I had to stop playing...I used to play Juan's music that my teacher took off the LP's I brought to him.

Amazing !!! i love this!

[MoebiusTripper]

Thanks! Sorry about the advertising banner across the screen, but the guy wants 35 bucks. I recommend his converter. It's the easiest to use and has a video splitter as well.

[lester0091]

@MoebiusTripper do you by any chance know where i can take flamenco classes in miami?

[mimbster1972]

Very nice. SSU alumnus here. Too bad I wasn't there when he showed up in 1987. Saw this video several times in the library though.

@MoebiusTripper

just a thought, Moebius - have you heard of MMS?

[NormanMac]

@AkiraSamuray I was referring to the "successful exercice therepies" for Focal Dystonia as she has been a victim of this affliction.

[AkiraSamuray]

@NormanMac you wonder If Liona Boyd tried what? Flamenco techniques?Some classical players like flamenco. Many classical dont, but even them have try it and are good in flamenco.

[NormanMac]

@AkiraSamuray Iwonder if Liona Boyd has tried these ?

[Suenoflamenco]

Sorry Moebius, I think ismaryedgar must have been confused with someone else. Juan Serrano is not playing at any wedding anytime soon.
