I may be attending with some of my Microsoft buddies - any comments on Rafael?

Hi Simon,
He's very much into emphasising the need for rhythm more than technique, which is good IMO. Speaks perfect English and has a good sense of humour.
His site is at www.flamencoguitarist.co.uk
By the way, he's a fast car nut too, so you should get along well!

cheers

Ron

Ahh, it's that Rafael, from Oxford right?

That's the one. I think he's an absolutely fabulous teacher and there are few of them. It was a real turning point for me last August when I went to see him, I just wish I could go regularly. Still crawling along the basics now though
