The best place to buy a flamenco guitar

Hey, last night I just bought another flamenco guitar. It's a 1971 Hermanos Conde sobrinos de esteso blanca with tuners. Spruce and cyress made in madrid. I got it at my usual store Fine Fretted Strings Instruments in Campbell which is just outside of San Jose Ca. It's a small shop run by Randy Osborne who teaches guitar there as well. He carries only the finest classical and flamenco guitars. I have purchased three guitars from him (two Jose Ramirez's and the Conde) and many hard to find flamenco videos and sheet music books. Please if you are looking to buy a guitar look into his shop, he sells online as well.

Promising to finally record some flamenco songs

Yes I know, I said this before. Been very busy recently working on my music degree. I am playing lots of flamenco music again and really have the bug now. I am trying to get over the "perfectionist" period and just need to start recording. Hopefully this weekend I can post at least a couple pieces, perhaps a tarantas.

Found great flamenco tabs

I happened upon these tonight and wanted to share with you all.

p.s.

Things went well, met some friends and had girls dancing flamenco down in front. Very hard to hear with all the goings on though. Next time I need a bigger PA system.

I will be playing again next friday afternoon at Solano college.
