It is possible, but not advisable, and certainly you mustn't think that you need to achieve a level before it will be worth to get a teacher. Get one as early as possible. If you dont have the opportunity in real life, i would recommend Jason McGuire's online lessons. He has alot of stuff. There are others too. No matter what, you will be your biggest teacher. Learning flamenco guitar requires alot of self training. Teachers can help here and there but the main work is in your side to observe yourself, your fingers, try out techniques a different way if it works. Thats the "mechanics". For the musical side you need to listen alot. Get secure in your tastes and play whatever you play with conviction - then it will sound good. I had about 10 solo guitar lessons in the last 8 years of guitar playing, so, im merely self taught, but mostly because teachers were quite far away and i couldnt afford traveling. When its about dance accompanying i had no lesson at all. I just picked up stuff from Solo Compas CDs and countless rehearsals with dancers - horrible idea! Very uneffective. If i could start again, i would choose Doitsujins method via sitting in a class or getting a teacher only for accompayning... Also have in mind... if youre surrounded by good people you will get good results, if your surrounded by bad people, you will get bad results. Sorry but that is the simple truth. I see it everywhere, with different students from different regions.

guess we all teach ourselves in the end but nothing beats the interaction of someone who is more experienced in your area of study..offering positive critique and tasks.. music is a communal activity... seek to play with those better than yourself... good luck...
