Interesting to know how you get on with an electric background.
ps: Many years ago (well over 10) there was a type of foro war (no one died but it did get heated ) - sides arguing the contribution of JM. Needless to say all much more civilised these days. Would be great if you let us know how it goes with JM. I haven't seen him for several years but him and his wife were always most welcoming and helpful. Enjoyable evenings for sure.

I wouldn't go so far as to say I was a fan - I only heard of him this week!
His book seems to be widely recommended so I bought it, and it was pure coincidence that I have the opportunity to see him twice this week.
I saw the Trio performance last night and, well tbh, I was underwhelmed. It was in City Varieties Theatre, Leeds and the experience was not at all like the intimate Tokyo (!) clubs in which I was introduced to Flamenco. His accompaniment of the singer + dancer seemed better than his solo guitar playing.
I'm expecting that my left hand will be much more advanced than my right hand!
As an ex-electric player myself, you will find the right hand challenging. Flamenco uses nearly all your fingers and the right hand (in this case) is much more of a rhythm section.
Man you weren't kidding! When it cut, I thought the video wasn't loading or something
