I would like to invite you to be part of this Weekly Magazine by raising questions and giving me suggestions through e-mail so this magazine can become a good material for all flamenco lovers, researchers and musicians. Enjoy it!

A.-Paco de Lucía (Picture)

B.-Comments, Questions and Answers:

QUESTION 1: Currently I am not playing the rasgueos nicely and I think it's because of the bridge measurements and because of the separation from one string to another, I would like to ask your advice about that?

QUESTION 2: In the past I experienced the dilemma to choose a nice flamenco guitar, can you elaborate on that?

QUESTION 3: It seems to me that the expression"flamenco guitar" is very ambiguous regarding its features as an instrument, don't you think?

QUESTION 4: Can you tell me why did Paco (in his last years) use a footstool on his right foot instead of his crossed leg posture?

B.- Lesson of the Week:

1) Effective Alzapúa

C.- Video Recommendations of the Week:

1) Marina - "De mil maneras" (Tangos)

2) Patax " El tiburón " / Piano: Luis Guerra in my record "Por Chick" (Bulería)

3) Rickard Malmsten meets Kenny Werner
