Nylon Guitarist. Flamenco. Classical. Songs.
20 years experience playing and performing flamenco. This channel has many videos with tips and tutorials about flamenco guitar. But there is more than that. Many different styles can be played on a nylon string guitar. I also enjoy classical, fingerstyle, a bit of ragtime.... and I sing songs. With the songs I use flamenco and fingerstyle techniques to accompany myself. Any tabs I write out are yours for free. If all this sounds like something you might like. Welcome to my jungle.
Enjoy your stay.

This channel is not growing as I had hoped with just flamenco as a niche topic.... and I'm getting bored. So I decided to break the rules and start uploading songs and classical music as well. Just like the old days when the view count per video was 100K+ or even 1M+. The original focus was always on what can be played on a nylon string guitar, not just flamenco. The other option is to delete this channel and raise chickens instead? Nah. I think I'll stay on YouTube and break the algorithm rules. That's sounds like more fun. What do you think?
