Flamenco Zombies!

¡Hola! I posted a comment on Ramzi's Bulerias video on YouTube (also posted here: http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=246874&p=1&tmode=1&smode=1) , thanking him for showing his face while playing. It occurred to me to post a follow up here to see what you guys think of a rant I've been itching to get out there. I don't like the headless guitar-playing videos! I feel that a bunch of zombies are playing! I care about privacy more than most people I know, so I can appreciate if that is your rationale. However, please show us your face, so that we not only hear you play, but also see you dance with the guitar. The reason that I like watching solo guitarists play is not only to learn, but to experience the whole performance which includes posture, facial expressions, and other physical cues. For example, I have always liked to see Pepe Habichuela play, not only because of his musicality that is undoubtedly steeped in Duende, but also for his elegant posture, steady finger movements, and the seriousness of the gaze with which he endows the guitar he plays. So unless you are wanted by the law or afraid of your wife, show us your face or forever store your guitar! Ahmed "El Babilonio"

@ ricardo ya, i think if you want to focus on the finger board and strings on the top of the guitat, to show your both hands, you need to mave the camera down, unless you set the guitar in the tradtional postion, for example, if i will upload a video with cross leg and my face, i need to move the camera back, but its difficult to learn from this video ,, anyway you have a point
