Alternatives to La Guitarra Flamenca...

Ever since I picked up flamenco, and pretty much since I joined for the foro in '06, the Encuentro series La Guitarra Flamenca has been a staple of my learning. They're timeless, no doubt, but I was wondering if there are other series of the same calibre out there that I may not be aware of—i.e., educational material that combines videos (normal and lento tempos) along with notes / tabs. I've always been especially fond of the Jerez school (e.g., Diego del Gastor, Paco Amparo, Moraito, etc), and so would be keen to learn of resources in that area.

Thanks!

La Sonanta Maestro Serie has some great stuff and is in a similar vein.

Some great players presenting classes here

Not tried this but Ricardo from here and Antonio Rey showing material.

There must be more now but Encuentro captures a really special moment in time.

I'm always on the lookout for great learning materials - even though I have barely gone through the ones I have lol

I took a quick glance at the La Sonata sight, and came across this one:

I was not familiar with Myrddin, and found the video preview excellent in terms of the sample falseta and video description.

Has anyone tried this dvd, or another from this series, and could comment ?
