Awesome, i've always loved the sound, flamenco guitar especially. Just another thing I have to add to my long list of hobbies.. heh

Appreciated. re: hand size, the crease on my pinkie finger at the bottom joint is right where the little E string falls when I fret a barre chord, so that string creeps into that crease and just sounds dead.
I can get that sorted by adjusting everything but then that just leads to the real struggle- the transition between the previous note/chord and the next. I'm getting quite a few basic chord transitions down pretty good but the complicated transitions are still not in my repetoire. Much of the struggle is due to not having the muscle memory thoroughly down, I often have to look at the neck/fingerboard to know where to move my hand and fingers. I often have to remind myself it simply takes practice- a lot of it!
But I am pretty stoked with my progress so far, in a couple days I will have been learning guitar for 7 months now!
