Merle, If you want to know the kind of music I play, it's really easy: just go to QVC Home Shopping Network and listen to Esteban. Hey, he's from Phoenix too so I am just following in the footsteps of the Maestro. No, really, what I play is a mixture, about 30% flamenco, 10% classical, 30% traditional latin american, 30% latin popular/rock. For my flamenco, I have a bulerias, soleares, tangos, and several rumbas. My small classical rep. is The Magic Box from John Williams' album, Romanza (yes that song), and Pachelbel's Canon (although when I have time I am going to relearn Recuerdos and Capricho Arabe), my latin songs include Chan-Chan, El Condor Pasa, La Paloma, Girl from Ipa, Malaguena (yes that song), my latin pop includes Gipsy Kings and Ottmar Liebert arranged for one guitar, Europa, Samba pa Ti, Guajira from Santana... All in all about 35 songs, plus I improvise on simple patterns like Alegrias chords or the Cuban guajira progression, and put together 3 45 min set and 1 hour set somehow. This is for solo guitar. For my duo, we play quite a few originals that my partner wrote and the dynamic shifts more to a "he plays leads and I play rhythm guitar." I like playing solo!
