Duwen, Joking aside man... We have on this Forum, many guitarists who have been following, studying, practising and playing Flamenco guitar for many years, some 20, 30 even 40 years. Some have spent a long time studying in Andalucia, (some even live in Andalucia) and some go to a summer school each year in Andalucia given by one of the finest Flamenco guitarists in the World. Some are reknowned professionals in their own countries, recording, teaching and giving concerts and working with Spanish Flamenco artists on a daily basis. Don't you think it's even the teensiest bit arrogant to come on this Forum looking for advice on buying a cheap beginner's guitar and as someone who knows nothing about any of the Flamenco forms and doesn't even own, or has ever played a Flamenco guitar and then begin to lecture to these people what they need to do to get in touch with the "true duende" of Flamenco the way YOU see it? Really, duwen....think about it. cheers, Ron

Really, duwen....think about it. cheers, Ron If I remember right (please dont make me have to go and analyze all the replies. You seem to have a great memory about my 'i wanna guitar' post.....) I shared a very personal and powerful experience here with people I thought I could trust, because i assumed cause the music is deep so will the players be deep. Am I naive or what...? So I then get a very snide remark about mushrooms even though I had never even mentioned them, and then it is I who suffer disrespect. So get it right. Pay attention
