Are you familiar with flamenco guitar techniques? Fine, that’s a good start.
Peter, a dedicated flamenco guitarist, composer and instructor, carries with him a valuable lesson learned from Manolo Sanlúcar.
Choosing the right teacher is crucial to avoid unknowingly learning the wrong techniques for years.
(And spending years afterwards unlearning all the mistakes you have learned….)
Peter has taken this to heart and has spent many years in Spain to build up his expertise.
Making a video series on flamenco guitar techniques was not a foregone conclusion for Peter. Over the past 40 years, he has made significant investments in both time and money to take his knowledge and skills to the current level. And just sharing that for free in a video serie…?!
Sharing this valuable information stems from a deep-rooted mission:
To help all flamenco guitar players overcome obstacles so that they can enjoy playing better than they ever thought possible.
