A belated introduction...

Where are my manners?

I've been a member here for a good while, but my renewed interest in flamenco has made me start actually posting. I figure it's a good idea to at least introduce myself before hounding you with beginner questions...

I'm, uh, Mitch. I'll be 40 soon, and I have a wife and three young daughters here in Arizona. I've played classical guitar for about thirteen years now, though I'm not great at it. I flirted with flamenco for about a year once, but eventually found my way back to classical again.

This time I mean it though! I'm looking forward to spending some real time trying to make some actual flamenco progress.

I know a bit about the history of flamenco and I have listened and watched for a long time. Flamenco really speaks to me - the cante goes right into my soul and hurts me sometimes, even if I don't understand the words. It's really very moving, passionate stuff as you all well know. It's magical to me.

I have a lot to learn but I will try not to bother all of you with too many questions. No promises though.

In any case, hello to all of you.

Nice place you've got here.

Hey Mitch,

There's quite a few of us 'new guys' kicking about, pestering the old timers with our typical 'new guy' questions.

You're in good company man. There's some great players, teachers, luthiers and contributors from all over the world kicking about on this forum.

Enjoy!
