Awesome, maestro! How can you upload a video whose length exceeds 10 minutes (onto YouTube) though?

Cool, thanks for sharing - very generous. Especially like the por medio meanderings in the second one.

It was interesting to listen to your approach.

Nice salute and punching in that alegrias de cordoba. Made me want to dig out my old luis de cordoba cassette tape.

BTW don't be surprised if i am a rockstar in 15 mins time

I have had way too much experience dealing with know it all aficionados that don't actually know very much. Talking flamenco is cool. listening and playing is better.

The point I'm stressing is making some contrasts. We should do it with dynamics and we should also try to do it with our note choices.

that was hilarious!

it's awesome to see music theory put to practical use in flamenco. now i see a point in studying all that boring stuff.

that was more mind opening than reading my idiot's guide to music theory book twice.

It is way above my level but is really great inspiration. I like the feel of the videos. It is good to see the personality come through and the softer camera lighting(as compared with the online lessons which are also great).

It also seems strange seeing you do instruction with a capo.... Cool

I always prefer music that does this. I find alegria to sound a little boring if it fails to utilize minor chords and scales. I play more alegria falsetas that resolve to e minor due to that being the case with many that have appealed to me.

I have been working on new ideas for alegria lately so your video has come at a good time. The main theme i have come up with follows the hinting of minor theory. These chords accompany the main theme.
