I would like to take this opportunity to say hello from the Flamenco hotbed that is Laramie, Wyoming. After having spent most of my late teens and twenties playing groove driven, guitar drenched rock and roll at clubs and festivals around the Rocky Mountains (and farther from time to time) I have fallen hard for Flamenco. I have been teaching myself out of Dennis Koster's book "The Keys to Flamenco Guitar" as well as taking lessons from Rene Heredia. I am still at a low level beginner, as I have never really spent any time learning how to fingerpick. I am taking it slow, though paracticing a lot, and trying to let the techniques solidify in my body and soul before I move on so as not to overwhelm my feeble brain.
I have enjoyed this forum over the last few days as an interlude to my practicing. I expect to learn much from all of you over the next several months. If I get the nerve up, I will make a recording of the Farruca and Soleares I have been working on. I am planning on attending Festival Flamenco in Albuquerque this June if I can afford it.
I would like to say thanks for having such a great online community. As with many of you, I seem to be the only one in town at the moment.
