It's a shame you're having to go through something like that. I hope it will only be a phase, and that, even if years later, things will look up and you can go back to being a flamenco aficionado.

Kudos!

I'm sorry to hear that, nealf.

I hope things work out well for the future for you.

The very best of luck amigo and I hope someday when things settle down you will be able to return to the guitar and that we shall still be here.

cheers,

Ron

unfortunately, I don't know you well .. but it is sad to hear that you're gonna give up flamenco and leave the forum

hope you change your mind. life is too short to give up stuff we enjoy and love
on the other hand each one of us has different path in life and different situations to deal with.
hope this decision will be for your own good.
good luck

Hi nealf,

You can not give up Flamenco for ever.
Hope your circumstances change to enable you to pursue your passion.

All the best.

RE: My Exit .... and Thanks (in reply to Argaith)

hey amigo i am very sorry to hear this too

i understand u need the money ...but you dont necessarily have to give up flamenco ...for years and years i played on a $50 guitar, even a couple of years back i was playing and performing on a terrible terrible borrowed guitar cause i didnt have one of my own.....crappy guitars build character

but it does not mean it has to be the end of your flamenco journey...guitar is just a tool , youl get another good one...this is ofcourse if you are giving up because u are worried that u need to sell your guitars and flamenco stuff...

whatever it is i hope everything works out exactly the way u want it

So sorry Neal (in reply to Guest)

So sorry to hear this Neal. I have been very close to that
type of situation a few times. Its so hard. I feel for you.

I hope this is not permanent and you eventually get back into it, and
come back here to the Foro.
We'll miss having you here amigo.

Take care of yourself, please!!

TK

Best of Luck.

I have read many times on the Foro that flamenco lives in the heart.
I am sure your passion will never leave you, I hope that your situation improves soon, and you find your way back to this community.

Never give up!

Suerte

RE: My Exit .... and Thanks (in reply to Guest)

nealf! im so sorry to hear this and i wish youa ll the best....but im gonna challenge you here!

im not sure i can imagine a situation where id have to give up something i love so dearly!?!?!
so even if you sell all your fancy guitars, which must be a heartbreaker, how can you shut down that part of you that loves music and flamenco in particular??..the answer is you cant!!!!!
like i said...i dont know what youre going through but i dont get it!! and it saddens me sligthly....buy a £40 guitar like flo says...

we are all different, have different paths etc but I just dont get this!

are you dying?? are you going to jail? getting sued for loads of cash???...**** even those examples would make me want flamenco even more!!!

....I demand an explanation!!!

..

i dont really... but listen to your heart!
