Hi
I'm Nelson, I live in Central Scottishland and have been playing guitar for many years. I've played in a lot of bands - punk, rock, blues, acoustic. Some years ago, on holiday in the Balearics, I bought a Spanish guitar and have picked out - by ear - what I think resembles some Spanish-influenced tunes.
Now that I'm getting towards fifty years old, and having given up gigging (all those late nights, lugging equipment about, driving to rehearsals and gigs etc.) I'm spending more time mellowing and expressing myself with my classical guitar.
On top of all that, I'm going to Andalucia in the summer and I aim to sit on the terrace of the villa playing to the heat and the dust and the chink of ice melting in the Sangria. (I have taken the guitar back to Spain on a couple of holidays - as well as elsewhere in Europe- and it has provided the soundtrack to some great times.)
I found this forum and I hope to pick up my proficiency a bit (a lot).
I'm looking forward to reading, playing and the discourse.
Travelling to Antequera, as I will be, I am particularly interested (at this moment in time) in discovering the influences on the music of the region: flamenco; Moorish scales and music; Romani; Judeo-Spanish; Sufi... anything.
Glad I found this place.
Nelson
