My name is Christopher, I live in the Puget Sound region of Washington State in the United States. I started playing guitar "seriously" about 6 years ago (I previously knew how to play chords and basic major scales in the first position and from a bar chord) within a Brazilian spiritual tradition from the Amazon, best described as a highly improvisational Brazilian fusion of Iberian folk music. I am wanting to take my musicianship within this tradition to the next level by seriously studying classical guitar and/or flamenco. I have never taken a formal one-on-one lesson, but I am currently reaching out to local teachers and a teacher I know in Brazil. I wanted to join this group to augment these lessons. I am looking forward to being a part of this forum. Thank you for allowing me to join!
Welcome Christopher. I just got home from tonight's the Northwest Classical Guitar Society monthly meeting in Bellingham.
If you live nearby, PM me for details about upcoming meetings.
