RE: Stansell Flamenco Guitars - woow (in reply to Haithamflamenco)
Again unable to access youtube from where I am. &%$(/§"!
( Besides: - Just today in the news about similar mentality: Turkey about to censor the internet some more. What else to expect from a hopelessly backwarded kind of mindset. - Though: Got to admit that they released a fatma against animal torture in 2004, and even one on legitimacy for muslims to switch to other religions, which is quite something! Anyway, letting wives bleach their hair, using cell phones, sucking up soap operas and sitting on chairs alone won´t really do for update. Not at all, actually. You got to free yourself from ancient hypocricy and irrationality / blatant injust instead.)
- Sorry for going astray.
I wonder why noone seems able to host videos on his own website anymore these days. Not even commercial websites.

Guyse, it's really not clear to hear what a guitar sounds like throught these videos I think. The room and the mic play an important roll in this. But I like what the lutier does with wood and stuff. guitar looks beautiful
By the way this Mark Taylor has some really nice sounding falsettas. he doesn't play so well in time (el pie, el pie! EL PIES!!). and his right hand technique is quite awful. But nice anyway
cheers
edit: one more about what I said about Mark Taylor. You know, I really don't understand why some people are always so obsessed with falsettas. Instead of, for example Mark Taylor, from now on is just going to sit on his butt the whole day doing simple compas structures along with marking the accents with his feet and doing simple arpegio exercises to get the right hand position well. falsetta falsetta....

RMN, can you post how it should be played than...I am just a beginner, maybe I'll learn something from it, would be nice. Thanks!
RE: Stansell Flamenco Guitars - woow (in reply to Haithamflamenco)
kozz, I just miss a bit of aire. Might be as well that he plays TOO much in time. I don't know. All I want to say is that it sounds like he is just playing falsetta after falsetta with no fluency. And that I think he might need to work on his his right hand arpeggio position. He plays great falsettas and has really nice ragueo.
