RE: I just lost my jaw had to pry wi... (in reply to CarloJuan)
I met this kid in Granada earlier this year. He is unbelievable!! Even the pros had their jaws on the floor. He improvises jazz at an incredible level too....

thanks for sharing, very good one his skills are absolutely incredible! apart from that fact i really love his falsetas and the way he boosts the compas!

I am not really sure. Obviously this kid has huge natural ability but also Kids learn very differently to adults. Whilst we are all analysing stuff and talking about how diffucult it is, a child will simply get on and do it.
His environment is a big factor though. I know his family are flamencos and he has been surrounded by good musicians more or less since birth. I think that as a child if you are only surrounded by amazing musicians and you think that being a virtuoso is normal, then probably you dont have the problems that we do of realising the enormity of the task ahead. When I met him he was doing the Diego Morao course and was even showing Diego falsetas and jamming with him at the end. Even Diego was amazed by his ability and laughing at his virtuousity. I grabbed a photo of him showing Diego a falseta.

No ...I said it correctly the first time. The kid was fiddling around and Diego stopped the class and got him to play the Falsetta for him. The kid played this phrase that was crazy difficult and Diego cracked up laughing. He then showed Diego how it worked...as I said our jaws were on the floor.

That's why the good God of heaven wants people with child like hearts(Matthew 19:14)! haha. They do the work, trust it's gonna work and believe it's gonna be....... and stop complaining.

When he's old he'll realize the blessings he had when he was young, that a village of flamenco people raised and nurtured him to be this prodigy and virtuoso
