Hi,
I had this dilemma last year but know a bit more this time round...
There are a few really established teachers, including El Carbonero (whose place is even on the 'flamenco route' in Jerez) - I rang to arrange to go there last year and he seemed surprised: just told me to turn up (I think lessons started at 11am). He teaches you a small bit individually and then you go off and practise in the room with the other learners (unless you're a girl - then you go outside as it's 'prettier'...) until he calls you back in. It was quite cheap - I think 15 euros an hour. Or he does one-to-ones. He's at http://guitarracarbonero.com/
I got some one-to-one lessons from Santiago Moreno too, and am going to go back to him this festival - his website is http://webs.ono.com/santiagomoreno/. I emailed him in advance to arrange meeting up as he goes off playing gigs quite a lot. I found him great - really pushed me and gave me so much to learn I still haven't got it all down, but was doable! Can't remember how much he charged - think it could have been 25 euros/hour.
They're the two I went to and they were both good in different ways; also didn't take too much organising in advance - it was all very laid back as you'd expect!
It's a shame they don't run guitar classes for the festival week like the dance classes, but if you get private lessons and go to a couple of gigs it's a great experience - that's why I'm going for the full 2 weeks this time! PM me if you fancy meeting up over there when we're both there,
Hope that's useful,
Jenny
