quote:
I found a guitar teacher in Algeciras who seemed extremely competent but I had to have my girlfriend sit in and translate. English is often/mostly not spoken. It dawned on me that I just need to go away for a couple of months and really get my technique into a functional standard for professional lessons. quote:
I have to imagine there is a lot more then one teacher in Algeciras. John Walsh on this forum has a teacher in Algeciras that is a total monster, he's mentioned him a few times on the forum, do some searching in the search bar. The language thing is a bit of a bummer for you though. who is the teacher in Algeciras? You should go find/see Salvador Andrades. That's who John has studied with. I sat in on some dance classes with him a few years ago and again earlier this year, and took some private lessons with him this time too. He is not only a monster player with a mega-knowledge of just about everything to do with flamenco, solo, accompaniment, cante, baile, history, you name it, but he is also a really good teacher and he speaks pretty good English. And he's a really nice guy, no big ego crap, very friendly and encouraging whatever level you are at. You can contact him here via email or the phone numbers http://www.salvadorandrades.es/ You don't need to go away for a couple of months to get your technique ready for lessons, you will probably just permanent-ise your faults. Go see Salvador first, and get him to show you correct technique from the beginning.
