question ...how does one know when youve got as good as you can ....? meaning .. not everyone can play as good as the best ( .PDL , SANLUCAR )etc . .despite long hours .. focusing on technique .. good teachers etc .. can you reach a point where your picado / tremolo etc just isnt gonna get any better cos i am who i am ?.... how would you know when this point arrives ..? Interesting question, El Kiko. I think the answer to your question might depend on what you consider your relation is to flamenco guitar. If one plays for enjoyment, and the guitar is an avocation that one pursues as a sideline to another profession or job, and one practices at most, say, two hours a day. one may hit a certain level that cannot be breached. On the other hand, if one's goal is to play flamenco guitar professionally, and one practices up to eight hours a day (as PDL is reported to have done, at least at one period in his career), it is very possible that the very same person will overcome the plateau that would have been reached with only two hours of practice a day, and break through to a higher level of play. In both cases involving the same individual there probably is a plateau beyond which his individual talent and drive just cannot go. But the plateau would be different in each case. Bill
