Paschi -> Saludos from Hamburg/Germany (Feb. 13 2015 19:10:22)

after being here for a while let me introduce myself...
I´m 34, from Hamburg/Germany
and I´m (thankfully) crazy for Flamenco in all its Beauty
(Cante,Baile, Toque, Lutherie...) I myself am playing Guitar since 2005/2006 and I began and stayed with Flamenco Guitar ever since.
First Contact to Flamenco was in 2002 in Granada and it was a Camaron de la Isla impersonator. A day after I met him I bought some CD´s of Camaron and with listening to him I began to fall in love with this Art. (by then i didnt know anything about Flamenco and had no clou who Paco de lucia or Tomatito was!)
2005 I decided to buy (my first Instrument ever) a Manuel Rodriguez y Hijos for about 300 Euros and I began with the good old Juan Martin Books to get an idea.
In 2006 I was lucky to meet my Teacher for the next 6-7 Years. He introduced me to almost everything in Flamenco and took me to the Dancing Schools in Hamburg "what was really important for me" (Yes we have like 5-10 Flamenco Dancing Schools over here ;) )
since then I had several workshops, private lessons in Hamburg or Spain with :
Amir John Haddad, Agustin de la Fuente, Javier Leal, Pepe Torres, Pedro Sierra, Manolo Franco, Mariano Martin, and others ...
and I was able to play/learn in Dancing-Schools/Workshops in Hamburg and Sevilla from Juan Polvillo, Pilar Ortega, Joaquin Ruiz...
I really like every aspect in Flamenco by now I´m beginning to think about making some Guitar-Building Workshops (not for profession just for possession!) because I want to know all the Details about the Instrument I´m/we´re playing
well after all this been told I´m an Aficionado forever and I learn every Day, bit by bit and I´m sure One Life is not enough to know everything about Flamenco
!!! Progress not Perfection !!!
Saludos al Foro
Paschi
