hello again two

as a better explanation, i was here under rickm about 4 yrs ago. I guit playing guitar about then. Prior I studied pretty hard, had a great classical teacher in Goran Ivanovic you might have heard of him and Carlos Basila in chicago. there was another guyhere in the suburbs who could teach well but his hands were destroyed and couldnt play any longer. I was doing IMO pretty good tremelos, three and 4 stikes, pretty good with golpes. i enjoy playing the older stuff more, sabicas, nino ricardo, carlos montoya. and some of pacos stuff. thought I probably play it all wrong i enjoyed it. what put a nix to the whoel thing was that i stuck a carving gouge in my right hand and severed a couple tendons. the doc tried to sew them and they broke. he took tendons out of my leg to repair and they broke. finally he attached the remaining tendons to different spots in the fingers so i have some movement and some strenght but it will never be quote normal again. I have to go very easy in most endeavors or risk breaking the repaired tendons. I dont want to give up playing but everything has to b relearned and in a more patient, gentler way. Im ot asking for sympathy but realize that somethings that might be easy for you guys are very hard for me.so im starting slow with arpeggios, some tremelos not much picados yet and limiting rasquedos to only two repeats. just letting you know if you think this guy has no ability whatsoever whats he doing here. I have the ability buried in the past and i am trying to relearn it. thanks for any patience you might show.
