quote:
ORIGINAL: Ron.M Most "westerners", even the ones who have already had a long experience of playing Classical/Rock/Jazz etc etc...genuinely have to take quite a few years to understand and feel fairly easy with Flamenco compas, since it is so unusual to anything they have known in the past...even though they may be very experienced guitar players. So that's why if you know all that stuff already from a kid, then when you take Flamenco guitar lessons, you are starting higher up the mountain. Ron, for sure, if you are living down there, and are surrounded 24hrs a day by people who sing, clap, dance, play more or less very well in compas (as opposed to outside spain) it MUST BE an advantage compared to those guys who have learned Classical, or Jazz and have never heard of compas. I mean, is it really that surprising? Also I wouldnt expect a Jazz guy being able to play Classical. Why should he, if he has not learned it? Different genre, different techniques, expressions. Doit said he could do it as tight as him [and i have no doubt about that], and nobody asked him to do a video or audio. I wonder why.
