Hello from Ireland

Hi everyone,

I've been playing guitar on and off for about five years now and I really want to get into flamenco. I have absolutely no idea where to start so any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Hugh

I do know of one person where I live who plays flamenco. I think I might try to get lessons from him.

Welcome from your diaspora, John Walsh is a monster I don't know if he teaches or is near you.
Your best bet really is a teacher, either in person or skype, especially early on. Best of luck!

John Walsh is the guy I was referring to above! He lives in the same county as me but I'm not sure if he teaches.

Welcome on board, Hugh!

A good teacher is priceless / making a world of a difference regarding efforts, progress and future pleasure with playing.

I am very fond of what I have experienced as Irish mentality.
Must visit Ireland some day.
