Has anyone ever heard Charo play classical Spanish guitar. She is excellent and makes me want to play. But I don't think I would ever learn something that complicated. But I do like to watch her play!

Yea Eddie she has some things on Ebay and limewire. If you like spanish guitar she is great. That is not really my style but I am of Spanish heritage so I am familiar with her music. Oscar Lopez is one of the best though.

Oh gosh, I love to listen to Spanish guitar. The skill involved is amazing to me. I don't think I could ever learn to do something this complicated.

Grenalda, try it! Go for it! You may not become the next Al DiMeola (my favorite classical/Spanish guitarist by far), but it's a ton of fun!

Wow, I wonder when the last time was that somebody mentioned Charo and it was about her guitar playing? - Just kidding...

I don't really recall what her playing was like. I have some CDs by Liona Boyd and one of them has some Spanish tracks.

In general, I also like the Spanish style and I think it would be a very involved technique to study.

Charo? I've never heard of the name. Would you share some links about her?

I don't know Charo but I do know Oscar Lopez and I agree with you. He sure is one of the best.
