¡Hola! 
Stuart here,

I've been learning/playing flamenco guitar for a little over three years now, and prior to that played banjo for several years, though let's face it, the banjo all sounds a bit samey after a while, especially compared to flamenco, and we have a little finca in Andalucia so it seems rude not to !

Self taught, mainly from Juan Martin's books. Quite pleased in that I seem to be making a bit of progress recently, my compas is becoming more coherent (even my Bulerias is no longer just painful random strumming), and I've done a lot of right hand work, so most techniques are coming along. Quite exciting really, though I'm sure I can't hold a candle to most folks on here.

Cheers !

Turnup,

Welcolm.

Cool,about your progress, I'm about in the same place or behind you some.

Was actually playing a classical piece in 3/4 with the metronome and when I was working the last two bars that were kicking my ass I found I was battling the metranome and then it hit me. After playing compas with the accent on he third beat for so long, two years, I couldn't put the accent in the first beat for the Clasical piece as I was counting with the metranome. That's when I realized I had inbeded the compas deep into my organic metranome.
