@Lindsey: My teacher is as good as Paco. In fact the only reason he has a career in the US now is because of Paco.
Who is he? I have sent the link along but didn't look myself. It must be interesting to watch someone receive a flamenco guitar lesson over skype. Actually entertaining in itself!
There was a guy around about a year ago who was aggressively marketing himself as a flamenco teacher. But I tried one or two of his lessons and that actually put me off. They were like 'ticklers'. Not real lessons but more or less showed you that there was no way in hell you would be able to play unless you followed this guy to the ends of the earth! Maybe I'm wrong but that's how it felt for me.
But it is such a noble art the playing and teaching of this form, that I find it hard to believe that there would be be people just in it for the money (teaching it). It has a mystique to it and I'm sure these guys are in such demand ... can't understand that.
Anyway I'm sure you count yourself fortunate indeed that you are learning and playing this amazing style of guitar playing. Its tapping into history and some ancient culture and tradition - but using modern technology!
