Hi Guys,
I'm new to the forum so thought I'd introduce myself, say hello and fire off a few questions.
I've been playing guitar for many years, mainly electric, nothing too serious, just pick it up every now and then, bang out a few riffs and put it back down.
I've always loved Flamenco but always considered it out of reach for myself. Not sure why. Perhaps it's all the mythology about only proper gypsies being able to play it with any conviction.
Anyway, I had a moment of clarity whilst sitting in Los Gallos in Sevilla last week watching some pretty cool playing. Why not give it a go, even if I only scratch the surface I'll be happy.
So I'm now back in London and the (not so) proud owner of a budget flamenco guitar. You really dont get too much for £400. Had to choose between a Rodriguez C3f and an Alhambra 3F. Not much of a choice but I went for the Rodriguez. Just sounded a bit more Flamenco (although, very boxy).
I'd like to hear from others about what books they've found useful, interesting etc. I'll be taking lessons once a week but it's always nice to have some reference books.
Happy New year to you all
Sean
