If I read your post correctly, Kehati, you have been working on flamenco for 20 years, which I calculate would put your age anwhere from 35 to 40 years old. You are married, but do not work. You are supported by your parents, apparently because you will not get a job. You are unhappy with your parents (who support you because you refuse to get a job) because they will not finance your desire to live in Spain.
Do you not see a pattern of self-imposed dependency here? Judging from your post, flamenco is the least of your problems. My advice would be get a grip on yourself. Get a job and create an independent life for you and your wife. You may not become a professional flamenco guitarist, but, then, very few of us have the talent or time for that. Be satisfied with creating a life of your own that includes flamenco for pleasure.
Cheers,
Bill

quote:
The dancer is not that open when it comes to make a improvisations with guitar.I know the importance of compas and the dancer only songs from solo compas and we only have once or twice of practice sessions before the show, before that the dancer just gave me the solo compas cd for me copy exactly whilst there's a lot of missing link in my flamenco guitar studies for I dont have any teacher.It's a pressure for me all the time when I got to learn it within short period of time and usualy the reselut are full of mistakes..never feel comfortable when playing the guitar for the dancer.Anyway the dancer is not like a professional, still unsure or scared to make mistakes fromm the way the dancer dance.So I need to play well for the dancer so that it can inspire the dancer.The dancer just came to Malaysia just 3 years ago.
kehati - I hope I am mistaken, but I get the impression that you're trying to run before you can walk!
Post a video of yourself playing so some knowledgeable people here (not me of course) can judge your level and advise you on the way forward.
No problem in not knowing, but if you really want to learn you should do whatever it takes and work hard, as everyone else does.
As mentioned by some other members here, we all have our individual circumstances to work around (work, family, money, etc). I don’t think anyone here is so lucky to be financially supported by their families to sit at home and practice. Like many others, I have to work hard during the day, support my family, often work in the evening, etc hoping to be able to play guitar for an hour in the evening by which time I’m totally brain-dead most of the times. Then, I have to pay a well deserved sum for my lessons because my teacher has worked hard for many years to learn and works hard to pass the knowledge on to me.
If your problem is that there are no good teachers where you are, I am pleased to tell you that you’ve landed in a good place (here). There are very good teachers here who do lessons on Skype, etc. All you need to do is to get a job, earn some money and pay for your lessons and make sure that you work hard enough to feel that you get value for your hard-earned money.
Good luck,
A
