New teacher (Ron & Jim)

Hi guys, I’ve just booked a lesson with this new guy. Won’t mention his name. First he insults my Alhambra 10Fc saying its only good for firewood. Then he tells me I will have to start all over again like the rest! And I haven’t met him yet. Am I mad?

By the way Ron and Jim, Rafael sends his best – oh s**t now I’ve mentioned his name

.

I’ll let you know how it goes Ron, he was your recommendation after all

Hi Nigel,
I'd put my trust in what he says, I think he'll guide you the right way.
Rafa's an easy going guy, but is very strict on adherance to compás and rhythm and I feel his teaching style is a culmination of his own learning experience..ie he knows what works.
You'll get a really good, solid foundation to build on IMO, and in the long run you'll learn faster.
The guitar?
I wouldn't worry too much about that at the moment, that can be sold and replaced as you move on.

cheers

Ron

PS (What's this "ratón de Watford" thing?...it always makes me laugh
