because some people asked me about the youtube account and that it was mine, etc....just to clarify things for everyone and avoid misunderstandings:
yes, this youtube account (Bikhiyal) was originally mine.
i uploaded this video from jason about 4 years ago.
i remember, when first time i saw this vid (i don't remember, where i found it, i think a friend send it to me),,,,, i was like ...WTF ! who is this guy ? he is blond, american, and he can play flamenco like that ? wow , people have to see that!
(btw, KMMI7 is right. good old youtube days,,,,at that time youtube was like a virgin  )
after that, i bought the "Distancias" CD....and i was like blown away....specially the Taranta !!
i recommand the CD to everyone with an open mind.
---
however, back to topic,,,during time, this video got many views, etc.
after jason started his online lessons, i thought that it would be good for him to have direct access to this video to link to his lessons, answer questions etc. and at that time i also didn't have time to do that myself (job, etc.), so i decided to hand this account over to jason.
the other side of the coin is,,,,,,now he also has to deal with people like prof. diaz (haha j/k) and all those other weird youtube people
---
jason was always very generous to me (and other aficionados) and always participated in the flamenco community with an exemplary manner. i truely wish him a lot of success and hope that one day he can manage to come to europe and give concerts also here and hopefully worldwide.
thanks for the missing tracks, i have to transfer some money to my paypal account and will donate as soon as it is filled with some bucks!
btw, recently i made a new account on youtube, the new account username is: FlamencoArash
ok, hope its all clear now

just heard the Rondena.......
man,,,,,who decided to exclude this piece ?  ..oh yes, armik ...... thank you , my iranian friend
don't know what to say.... if such pieces of music have no commercial value...well, then ....f....k the commerce.
its sad, that one have to assimilate to mainstream to make more money.
its same with politics, if you are not mainstream, you are like a lonely warrior.
many thanks to all the billions of people out there for your bad taste and your lack of musical sense
on the other hand, this bulerias was also excluded from the CD, and had a lot of success.
hope thats a lesson to all those producers to give "non commercial" pieces a chance

My farruca vid also passed the one mil mark, but it's nowhere as deserving as yours. OLE!
You are very deserving Grisha and one of a kind. Congrats to you too!

Your help Arash has always been appreciated. Thanks for letting me take control of the account.

Awesome jason, congrats! A testament that true artistry can win over commercialism when it matters. Just like to add, F armik, and F ruben while I am at it.
Edit, I just realized that that silly little video of tico tico by paco I uploaded has 1,749,000 views! WTF? I remember I uploaded that just cuz I wanted to show you guys a good angle of Paco's right hand arpegios.
The lack of judgement on Armik's part still puts a grin on my face. The professor too.
and As it should be..... Paco de Lucia.... wins. It really goes to show that for the flamenco community, YouTube was a way to share info about how to better learn, it was a means of sharing knowledge to better each other collectively. We all must have realized on some deep and perhaps unconscious level, that by educating the public about flamenco we could some somehow deal with the misinformation that is so abundant. Ricardo, ToddK and Grisha.... a million thanks to you for devotion as it has inspired a new generation of guitarists out there. I remember there being next to nothing as far as solid info about flamenco. Local teachers kept things guarded for the purposes of "job security".. things are much better these days for people seeking to learn flamenco outside of Spain.
