Hee MD, great that you managed your trip to spain, you'll love it! About the compass my friend....try to study it in small pieces, and do that everyday or so. Do not switch to alegrias, fandangos, bulerias, tangos, seguiriyas, verdiales all in one day...(I know you a little my friend ).... It needs serious attention....I have problems with it myselves...(like you the concentration disorder)...but ban every distraction out and try for 20 minutes, than have a break.....it'll pay out even more quickly than you think. Enjoy your trip to Spain!

WOW as they say (not sur who but anyway had a great time in Spain , from Malaga - jerez , ronda- cadiz, cordoba and most time in Granada. i missed out on seeing Kate (Who i want to thank for sending so much info, and Anders (When i have money ill pop in!, try ur guitars whne i can play ! I was so chocka block with concerts to go to and one of guitar lessons and Spanish lessons i didn't know if i was Arthur or Martha!. Jerez and malaga i just remeber jammin' with a polish dude and some local gypsy lads,(blues jam blues polish jam ? mm anyway. just wanted to thank everyone for advice. i was so inspired there were so many gigs tango and jazz and flamenco festival were happening , the local players were amazing, i mean not just Guitar players but all folk involved so inspirational, im just going to strum Bb to A in compas now , falsetas can go out the window. heard and saw a lot of the local players playing the media luna condes , about 3 lads , and a beautiful guitar i heard i had such a dark tone , was a m. bellido. anyway excitement plus. posses the question if you havent been to Granada get there! it rules peace and inspirational moments. now reality metronome on 60 and reality hits !
