you wont make a living in the us being a flamenco guitarist without alot of grumbling. or at least, very feew have managed successfully. i hate to be a party pooper, but you are much better off reserving guitar for your enjoyment and artistic fulfillment than relying on it as means of sustenance. having a job thats boring and requires desk time may be bad, but insurance and 401k's are superb. you can't top that. plus, if you play the game right, you will have saturday sunday and friday to job out and play. playing as a professional only.... you'd have to find many sources of income. work is not steady, and there are a million gutiarists out there. truth be told, club owners dont give a damn what you play as long as people dont leave because of it. so, get some lessons here, figure out if you really have a burning desire for it and then save up money at the same time. make friends in spain, friends you can stay with for a bit til you get your feet off the ground. find a job, find a hot girl, get lessons. always pay rent. and fix things if possible, people like when you fix their stuff lol.
