No time to talk. Busy, busy, busy. But this is so cool. OK it's not flamenco. But it is genius. Anyone who plays guitar will marvel. Or laugh. I've never tried playing one guitar with another person but I would imagine it is - at least at the start - enormously difficult, especially playing one bit with one hand, and another with the other. You'll see what I mean when you watch this - half way through.

Little Tip
Man, I'm busy. Not time for playing hardly. Back down to 20 minutes a day. That's not going to get me to Duende. So I'm going to start a series of Little Tips. Or it might not be a series, it might be the only one. We'll see. It's dependent on a) global economy & how busy it keeps me 2) me knowing enough about flamenco guitar to create a series.
Like your body and the way you sit or walk, think of your hand having posture. Keep standing your hand upright when you're playing a picado. Don't slouch. But not so much you look like an stuck up type. Your trying to balance strength and speed. It needs to have some roundness to create force.
Well that's what I've learnt so far. But hey I'm no Paco.
