I recommend getting a teacher as soon as possible. I waited a while and got into some bad habits and ways of thinking that took a while to get out of.

I'm also in San Diego, La Mesa as well. I recommend the Friday show at La Gran Tapa. Juan Moro plays the show and is a great teacher.
Hey Jim!, awesome another foro member in la mesa. If you ever want to collaborate or help each other out, let me know. But like i said...the best way may be to just practice solo and with an instructor...and it does become a hastle driving here and there...when you can just practice anywhere. Ohh and also i might not have much to offer in the ways of advise other than what my teachers have told me, and for all i know you could be a flamenco virtuoso anyways. That being said, once i become familiar with the rhythms and have some songs down, i might start trying to earn some cash as a musician...even if that entails "busking" at balboa park....gotta start somewhere right.(but anyways i wouldn't mind "busking" with another guitarist...but we'd have to have duo songs down or know which keys we can improvise in ect. and agree upon how to split the loot.) Currently i just practice guitar in between classes....in the hallway and i get loads of compliments every day...which is nice but(and also i know i am doing a lot of things wrong haha but will try to fix those in time) what i really enjoy is exposing people to the sound of flamenco....people who might not have heard it before. exposing might be a bad choice of word right there but you get the idea.
hey thanks for the input guys ! :) It's actually funny you should mention Juan Moro, my classical guitar teacher has recommended him to me as well. I guess the original plan was to try and get lessons with him when i transfer to san diego state...but my attitude is more along the lines of...the sooner the better. I have spent many hours on various techniques....that's great and all but now I'm starting to figure out how they fall into the compas.... my e a m i rasqueo was not a triplet before.
Also Lenador, haha i have the same problem that you had. My Picado is a triplet at the moment! It is very fast and still fairly clean but it's not correct. The problem is, it's engrained in my muscle memory now and it's going to be very hard to get rid of; or at least to learn the correct way in addition to. My classical teacher says that i might not want to fully get rid of that technique but to try and learn the proper way as well. I am starting to find out that learning a technique in music isn't really that hard if you start doing it correctly from the very beginning, but it's much harder to reverse something that is deeply engrained in your muscle memory.

hoolaa~ Looking forward to see your playing some day! ;)
Haha Hey thanks man!, i look forward to hearing you guys as well! It is very interesting hearing how people interpret songs differently and input their own sound. So I have heard some of the contest entries and i know a lot of you guys are really awesome!
I have a condenser mic but don't have the cables and audio interface yet to hook it up.(if i need one? think i do....read that you want your condenser mic to give off a somewhat faint signal so you can minimize background noise, and then up it with preams) But hey...yeah it would be nice to get feedback on stuff i need to improve on and such.
Ohh sweet i am a Guero now too! what an honor! haha. Sounds like i'm gonna have to learn spanish to, which i have already tried to learn a while back. But it's a good idea so i don't accidentally tell someone...hey i'm Burro Flamenculo on the foro. In fact i don't even know if flamencuro is a real word, it just had a nice rhyme to it.
