sczi -> Hi from DC/andalusia (Mar. 2 2014 3:53:19)

Hey all,
I'm from the washington DC area, currently spending a couple months (more if possible) traveling around andalusia, in jerez right now. Couple quick recordings, I've played classical guitar for many years so my guitar technique outpaces my flamenco knowledge, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClNhsQHSfKMXGx-yhrwzKFg/videos

Welcome to the foro and greetings from holland. You seem to have a lot of talent and i hope you have a great time catching up :-) Did you already have any encounters with Diego?

You seem to apply more force then your guitar setup can handle. Ever tried a slightly higher action?

Diego del Morao? I really like his sound and his alternate tunings, but I haven't seen him.

I know what you mean with the action and too much force. It's a cheap classical guitar that originally had a 7mm action. When I started playing flamenco I didn't know that flamenco guitars had a lower action, I just knew that to get the same slightly dirty, percussive, string snapping sounds as actual flamenco guitarists I had to pluck really hard. Awhile ago I lowered the action significantly but I still felt like it was kinda high so a few weeks ago I lowered it again, and it's probably a bit too low now, combined with my habit of playing hard making it worse.

Diego del Morao?

That's the one. He's an extremely gifted exponent of what i like to call the guitar whisperers. I'm not sure but i assume he lives in Jerez.

Personally i like my action to be as low as possible as well. Paco Peña on the other hand combines strong inputs with very high action (from a flamenco point of view).

Some classical guitars are more flamenco friendly as others. It would be nice if you could afford/find yourself a nice hand build flamenco guitar. I own a Ramirez and a Conde but also don't mind playing my cheap childhood classical Ibanez (early 70ties when they still made pretty good guitars).
