My name is Edina, and I play the guitar over 20 years, and started with flamenco about 15 years ago. I am a qualified guitar teacher, and won the Lukas (UK latin) award in 2019 as the best jazz-folk act of the year with my Spanish guitar duo, De Fuego. I helped thousands of people to master the triplet or the rumba techniques, and with my method they were able to get it after many failed attempt.
This course will be fun and will spice up your playing and also will introduce you to the world of flamenco. I hope later you will also use these techniques to play or compose your original music.
