I play viola, oud and guitar, but mostly perform free improvisation rather than follow any particular genre. I recently bought a blanca guitar--I prefer the sound over any other type of guitar even though I don't use it for flamenco. I've always loved flamenco ever since I heard a Deben Bhattacharya's field recordings made in Andalucia many years ago. I especially like the Zambra style that has an Arabic influence, and also prefer the players and singers from early on in flamenco's recorded history. I look forward to learning from you all.

Welcome friend. Wish you a good time here at the foro. If it is not too much trouble can you check a group I am participating on YouTube and tell me your opinion? It is called Flamarabenco. There is oud and guitar there too.
Most of the action here is in the off topics threads for the moment so drop in there if you like.
Some excellent players, teachers, and builders on the foro. I'm nether but they haven't kicked me out yet ;)

I prefer my flamenco guitar spicy, doesn't have to be fast, should have some meat on the bones, can be raw or well done, as long as it doesn't sound like it's turning green on an elevator floor.
Hola a todos, soy Christos de Chipre, ahora vivo en Alicante, gracias por aceptarme en el foro. Me encanta jugar al futbol y tenis. Lo siento por mi mal espanol, estoy empezando a aprender este hermoso idioma.

Hi, My name is Vincent Cadigan from Jersey in the Channel Islands. I studied Flamenco guitar with Philip John Lee around 1965/66 when he lived in a flat above a shop, a butchers I think, in a pretty rough part of Birmingham. I only had a few lessons when I was 16, during the School holidays, but he taught me so much. I still play the pieces he taught me. So sorry to hear he passed away.
