    Bravo! Saludos desde España, I find your insouciance - not the dictionary meaning, rather your lack of self-consciousness, as found in pre-columbian sculptures and wild animals, intoxicating and refreshing. So talented, I hope to hear more from you playing this style of music, a kind of Jazz no? I listen to your classical and Spanish pieces. Bravo! ❤

I am trying to learn Flamenco which straddles classical, blues and other genres, having fallen in love with the Spanish guitar (aka classical and flamenca) after years hearing people comment on my weird bass technique, I picked one up one day and that was when I realised that I had been holding the wrong instrument and 2 strings short of what my fingers were attempting ….

    I agree with Pablo Novoselov .There's always hope and that beautiful young lady has shown us that with her technically brilliant playing .but Interesting to see jazz played on a classical guitar. As a rule jazz guitarists seem to favour the mellow electric tone of a sunburst Gibson cutaway type instrument played with a pick or fingerstyle. Being nylon strung the Spanish guitar is normally played fingerstyle but I don't use mine for jazz the tone is a little 'brittle and the action requires more pressure from the left hand than you would probably use on an electric instrument. That young lady must have a very strong left hand to compliment her amazing technique . My guitar is going on the fire tomorrow!!
