If you are considering flamenco - READ THIS. This is a slice of what flamenco guitar is allll about; accompaniment. Playing solo has nowhere near the rewards (unless you ARE as good as PDL or Bacan or..), and you do NOT have to be 'good' - just in compas!

I played 'solo' for a few years now. I can 'gig' a bit, but I finally got up the nerve to go to the dance classes. EVERYONE is helpful, as they WANT and NEED more guitarists. I was sooooo nervous at first, but I now go to 5 classes each week, and after about 6 months, I can now 'carry' some of the classes or palos myself, singers sit with me to sing and help, and I have been asked to play for a beginners Buleria class. SO MUCH MORE FUN THAN SITTING AT HOME, PRACTICING! Sitting in for a dance class is like getting a free lesson!

Try it! You'll probably love it!!! :-)
