Evan Harrar
"Practice Tips for Beginning Guitarists "
Evan Harrar went to Morón de la Frontera in Southern Spain in 1970 to learn "a little bit" of Flamenco. He stayed for most of three years. During that time, he took numerous lessons with Diego del Gastor and with his nephews and traded falsetas with other American guitarists living in town. Evan currently plays and teaches flamenco guitar in Albany, CA. He is also the author of a guitar tabulature book/CD focusing in the Morón style. For more information, visit www.gypsyflamenco.com.
