I agree with Florian; your aire is fantastic.

Nah, didn't school anybody. Just been practicing and performing lately. I usually get more aire when I do that. This is one tough picado, by the way.

It is a tough picado. I can get the power and the triplets more even similiar to yours but I'll do a future upload again. Honestly, what did you think of my version?

You always have the power and speed, jg, but your nails aren't working as well as always. I have periods of time like that too.

Yes, the nails can be a pain in the neck. I remember watching a Paco de Lucia interview a few years ago in Spanish and he said the nails to a flamenco guitarist are like the vocal cords to a singer.

Grisha!! That had everything!! Wow, the sound of your guitar, the feel, the groove, the technique, the authenticity. How many years have you played that falseta?

Thanks so much! I've known the scale for 4 years or so, but never practiced it until pretty much yesterday. The part leading into it I learned 5 minutes before this recording.

Grisha, do you have any tips to keep your nails strong? do you use nail hardener or glue? you nails must be wearing out really fast when playing like that

Well, looks like Ricardo's long wait for somebody who can play that run
like Paco, is now over.

Grisha, when will you tell us what planet you're really from, cause you're not from this one. ;)

I read: "a guitarist without nails is like a dancer without shoes." Either way it works...

Both you guys are so inspiring. Thank you for all the vids!

Yeah I noticed that it was a strange camera angle to demonstrate something,
Everything's fine I just thought, why from the back ?, you know,

I am not facing the camera because my laptop was sitting on the bed and I would have to twist left, bringing tension into my neck. Sorry about that.
