new user going to spain

hello i am a new member to this forum who has been lurking for a bit.

i am brand new to flamenco guitar although i have played guitar for most of my 37 years but i won't bore you with those details.

the reason for this post is i will be in madrid at the end of april for my brother's wedding and i would like to take my first lesson in spain.

these places are all very close to where i am staying so if anyone has advice or contact information i would appreciate it.

over the last month i have been doing nothing but listening to the music - no guitar because i don't want to spoil the first lesson, i really want to get off on the right foot so any advice you have for me to prepare would be awesome

thanks in advance

Hola bll,

welcome to the foro amigo,

and welcome to the world of flamenco as well, jejeje

i noticed all the places at the map are guitar shops or luthiers,

i thought u ment a flamenco school, nevermind

any way, i am not really the right person to give u an advice,

well, u have 37 years expreince!! thats awsome,

i think the budget, playabilty, action, neck thickness and sound type will determine the guitar u would like to buy,

if u have all of that, no qustions CONDE HERMANOS

this is a choice that u will not ever be sorry for,

ole

sorry about my poor communication.........what i am looking for is a place where i can take a lesson not buy a guitar. although if they had one i could afford and i could easliy get it back to the US i probably would.
