1. My playing is not so good at all!! It's not! I mean, I really sound bad! 2. My playing lacks any passion! I think that the reason my music lacks passion, is that I don't play like a flamenco player! There is noone that can tell me different! Sometimes while I am practicing, I find that I try to play this and that, note for note! And. that does not work! (mayybe classical, yes)! 3. My technique is terrible! Now, this is really making me mad! That damn left hand 'Spider Technique' just set me back 3 years!! ;>) 4. There is no rhyme or reason to my songs! I don't know about this? Sometimes when I play, it sounds SO GOOD, and other times, ...(forget it, it sucks big time)! 5. Trying to record and play at the same time is a pain in the arse! That is true! You don;t know how many times I record a palo, just to get ONE that sounds half like chit@@ 6. I'm not capturing the sound I want This is a strange one ! When I play for others, they think I'm a good guitar player, but in the end, it totally sucks, and I know it!! 7. and the list goes on and on !! I appreciate all your encouragement, Michael, Eddie, Simon, and anyone else, but, MY PLAYING IS BAD, REAL BAD!! However, I will go on, and YES, from 3 years ago, until now, my music is 800% better! But, to really understand that I really don't, and never will, be able to play flamenco music, is dishearting in itself...and I'm just being realistic! ;>) Thanks all my friends, for your support, as I will still go on... Merle
