Thanks guys. We went through a lot of practicing material for right hand and left hand. It was not so much the material or the chords but the way how to execute it. The most I was impressed by he's left hand. Its was so clear. He put a finger on the fret and never had to correct the placement, always perfect sound. And the way he did the exercices was that it looked like he enjoyed every note, even in the cromatic exercices :) The message was, practice everyday, concentrate (no tv when playing) and do everything precise and rhytmicly. Use metronome! Compas, compas, compas! Don't over do and take care of your hands. Don't go too fast but concentrate on the music and sound, We also talked that the sitting position has to be good. Vicente Amigo just had a surgery because of bad back and Enrico de Melchors back is troubling him and it doesn't let him play with full potential. Heh, actually now I see that these tips have been given thousand times here in the foro, but again I believe them and propably have patience to follow them for some time. Antonio Rey…I need to get he's second album!

of course We had a HUG festival, Helsinki Universal Guitar festival, and Antonio was one of the main performers here. It was three consert evenings from friday to sunday and Antonio was playing friday with Raul Mannola, Ailin Bayaz, Farinia and one other cantaor. Saturday he was performing his solo material. Also Ralph Towner, Enver Izmaylov and Raoul Björkenheim were performing there. So the course was held in the same time. The cost was 240€ including tickets to all the conserts. We were seven students. The organizer had planned it max 12 person, but not so many showed up. Good for us, bad for ornanizers Oh yeah, and the art director (I dont know how you call it in english) for the festival this year was Raul Mannola who is legendary flamenco guitarist from finland and who has paved the way for others, and he got intouch with Antonio and got him visiting Helsinki.
