left hand sojourns

I have been experimenting with classical guitar, talking to classical guitarists, jamming with them, going ot their forums, learning classical guitar songs such as Recuerdos del Alhambra and Capricho Arabe and Sor studies. It has been a very useful collaboration for me, because the CGers have a much more refined, broad, and useful body of teaching than flamencos. I have especially benefited from the left hand. Of course, to CGers, guitar IS left hand, so they have understandably done a lot of work with it. My left hand is much better now. I have learned to relax it while playing, to make better position shifts, and to use perhaps 1/3 of the effort I formerly used. Of course I am still a work in progress. Doing a lot of slur exercises and double stops is very useful, and work with the barre. I would recommend to any flamenco guitarist who wants to improve his left hand, to follow my path! :)
