Ricardo, then i guess this was discussed here already. didn't know that. Actually this could be the first time I have mentioned it. I actually bothers me a great deal, perhaps it is even more disturbing to ME then to him, I don't really know. I have a lot of dirt on lots of flamenco business that I don't like to bring up at all on the foro. Like paparazzi waiting for any greats to trip and fall or fail in anyway. I hate that ****, and had hoped by now he would have healed up or something so I need not discuss it. I did not want to be like Doit was saying, but he is sort of right. I mean, it looks worse now then when I saw it this summer. Most new students had no clue cuz Gerardo's pulgar is still fine, but they never saw him play something like Trafalgar up close. I mean that Rondeña has a couple "fake" arps in it now that he used to rip through like a razor sharp ginsu. And one spot he STRUMMED instead of do the ripping arps. It really is scary. And if any of you are into it as much as me, you have tried to copy how gerardo is playing now, with index out and just m and a, and even strumming bulerias without i so much, just wrist....well, it is is horrific. I don't want to email Gerardo about it, cuz it is obvious he is dealing with it somehow to keep performing. He was doing up to a hundred concerts a year...not as much now obviously. Two years ago he said he injured his HAND, implying the entire thing was out of commission. Now it seems to be something weird with index, or index and middle, but I don't really know anymore then the way it looks. The psychology of the problem also had affected his left hand accuracy I noticed in class too. The whole deal sucks big time. Ricardo
