My name is Eric and I am from Denver, Colorado. I am new to Guitar and am choosing Flamenco as my choice style. I know Flamenco is a very hard style to choose for a beginner,but I love challenges and having Spanish blood I want to learn the best that guitar has to offer and I believe that Flamenco is that style. I have been doing the Juan Martin Guitarra Flamenca lesson as well as the Gerhard Graf-Martinez lessons. They are challenging but I am learning alot. Falseta is definitely a place I feel comfortable being a part of. Thank you for being here!

Hi Eric,

Welcome to the forum!
I had the same reason to start with flamenco and guitar in general... I think you get the most music out of a guitar when you play flamenco.

If you like flamenco so much it is certain that you will be successful in it just need to be patient and to love what you doing....

Thank you! I do love Flamenco and yes patience is a requirement for sure. No matter how long it takes though I will learn.

Hi Eric,

Denver is the home of one of the best guitarists in the U.S., Rene Heredia. I believe that he teaches. You should look him up.

Eric,

In addition to having the grear guitarist Rene Heredia living here in Denver we also have Miguel Espinoza. I you want to excell I would suggest taking lessons from either one. I have been a student of Rene in the past and found him to be very traditional, teaching more in the style of Sabicas, Montoya, Nino Ricardo, ect. For myself it gave me a good foundation to start with. I currently study with Miguel who is much more modern in style, Tomatio, Moraito and the like. Learning from a book or a video will only take you so far. There is no substitute for learning from a human who can tell you what you are doing wrong and right. Best of luck.
