    I am 62, and have been playing the guitar for 13 months. Playing is therapeutic, I started off with a Yamaha classical guitar C40. I started to take lessons from a guy near here who is the repeat after me and be a parrot, I don’t thrive in that environment, About 5-6 years ago I played violin but injured my left shoulder in Karate class and after all the physical therapy was finished I still couldn’t hold my violin to play, I couldn’t do the parroting then. I have a turbo charged hamster on the wheel in my brain. One day I listened to Jesse Cook and thought I want to learn how to do that. I found out rumba a division of flamenco is what he was playing. I found a flamenco instructor on the website of udemy.com He whet my appetite. Lo and behold while traversing YouTube I came across Tomas and found his teaching method to my liking. I’ve taken 6ish of the flamenco lesson and they have been so beneficial, so many new chords I am happy to practice. I then bought a Yamaha 172SF flamenco guitar style of playing. I have some physical restrictions that prevent me from playing the faster stuff, so I just slow it down and make it my own. I’ve been married over 41 years and am happy to be so. Glad to be here
