>>By the way in case you do not know from my other threads, my wife is from Peru and we have been married for 40 years. I play flamenco guitar and have played professionally. I still play for Gitanos who visit the San Francisco Bay Area from Spain. When I retire in the next year or two I will teach guitar. That is what I truely enjoy!

>Flamingo guitar, dang that's gotta hurt the bird!<g> Well, what do you know, I play guitar too. Mine is more a fusion of folk/country/pop/rap/opera except for those last two. I've got a limited edition Taylor 510C that I am crazy about. We used to do acoustic jam sessions at Devcon before the other three guys in our group (Nerdvana) went to the dark side - dot net.

John;

I recently purchased a Gretsch Country Classic, which they are changing to flat wound strings today, and I play Blues, Jazz, Country and Western, and Celtic music. 50’s rock is all right but I will not play or listen to “modern rock”. Electric steel string guitars are really different than nylon string flamenco guitars. I have always loved the guitar and piano.

The problem I am having is deciding what right hand technique to use. Pick, thumb pick, or fingers only. No pick is easier for me and I have to get accustomed to using a pick.

P.S. Do not tell anyone - I am working with Dot NET - but only to earn a living! :)
