quote:
quote: However some forum members when felt hopeless, cornered or offended resort to attacking Ruben personally. i must have missed that part...who is attacking him ?..seems to me like everyone is just slowly aand carefully tip toing backwoods towards the exit door....giving ruben all the space he needs Ok, here is an example: quote:
"I respect a good player, especially when they interact in our forum... But I do believe Ruben is being a bit closed minded. Not only that but disrespectful towards other players... " That's not a snippet of the post, that's the whole post. What has it got to do with art, teaching guitar, styles of flamenco? It's only aim is to attack Ruben. Another example: quote:
A forum as defined by West's Encyclopedia of American Law is: A medium for open discussion or voicing of ideas. Socrates once said, "I know you won't believe me, but the highest form of Human Excellence is to question oneself and others." So far so good. He is discussing matters in a general manner, but then continues: quote:
It's really not that complicated, but I don't think you get it, and sadly may not? Here he feels that what he already said didn't do the justice so tries to offend Ruben personally. Anyway you get the picture.

Alisa, I do appreciate your support and have always been moved by the grace in which you are able to put yourself across on this forum. But in this case, I feel as though there were statements made by Mr. Ruben that might have been intended to in some way discredit the online teachers mentioned by Arash...... Adam del Monte, Ricardo and myself namely. So the case is that I await Mr.Ruben's answer to my question before I decide wether or not I am offended. The question was evaded when I asked the first time. quote:
I dont need to make a living with the guitar,and then have to flatter others to do a bussines,or to say they are ok.when they are not,etc. Is this an accusation directed at anyone in particular? Now in defense of Mr.Ruben who despite his abrasive use of the English language is a brilliant player and I would say that, yes, he does have much to offer students of flamenco guitar and I do wish him much success in aquiring more "webcam" students to supplement his lack of necessity for financial gain from the guitar as well as continued success teaching the technique and composition of Paco de Lucia. Paco has been over the past couple of years releasing official books that show in detail how his works are played. They seem to be moving along in cronological order, so the material for Luzia must be a good ways down that road, but it does show that Paco de Lucia DOES in fact place a price on the educational nature of his compositions. As Mr.Ruben has stated he has clearance from Paco de Lucia and the publishing company to teach this material and just as he has been forthcoming about his nationality, professorship and lack of need for money, I am sure that there is nothing for RGB Arte Visual (publisher) or Juan Estrada (Manager) to worry about. I myself feel that Paco de Lucia is quite possibly the greatest living flamenco guitarist in the world today. I have also met Paco myself and found him to be a surprizingly warm and softspoken person.
