wanabee -> play guitar in London (Dec. 29 2013 10:43:47)

Hello any/everyone. I live in London and do flamenco. I was thinking the only thing I'm missing (& it's probably the most important element) is playing with other guitarists. I can send clips of me playing if anyone wants to see how good I am (I'd say intermediate). Technique getting very good, not so good at rhythm. I sent a clip to Lenador once, and he's a solid member of forum, so one can ask him if one wishes (I'm a technological Luddite, so don't (can't?) record myself, etc. I have an abundance of material that you won't believe (every Encuentro, etc.), but all hard copy. I have picked out Javier Conde's version of Vals Flamenco (almost to a tee, I believe) and can show people how to play it, etc. I think my learning will double in speed if playing with others. I have no job, no responsibilities, and just practice. If anyone is intermediate on & lives in London do they want to meet up & play guitar (doesn't have to be just one person, any amount of people I suppose). And who knows, we might start off a guitar thing. Playing with others is like having free lessons; even if someone is worse than you, one learns from showing how as well as from 'learning.' We can play at my house, or I can travel to others. If anyone's interested reply to thread (sorry, that's obvious).

There are lots of flamenco guitarrists in London, some of them very good indeed, And a Peña where you can meet people and play on stage if you are good enough.

There are plenty of guitarists in London! And I'm not too far away (Cambridge) if you find yourself in the area.

This really is a juerga--bring your guitar, step up, have a go.


Or the Peña http://www.flamenco-london.org.uk/
(which is a show, so don't bring your guitar)

Flamenco in London seems to organise itself mostly on Facebook.

Brendan, looks nice, where (on FB?) would one look to hear about these sorts of things?




Brendan -> RE: play guitar in London (Jan. 11 2014 15:55:18)

Ulises Diaz is the man. Find him on FB and he'll spam you with the events he organises.
