This Rey guy is an incorrigible perpetrator. He does it again at 2:43 and 3:59. Each time he slows way down after the harmonic, while the cajonista keeps playing bulerias compas. Rey must have been ashamed of himself. Eventually he recovers, catches up and starts playing bulerias again. I couldn't stand to watch any further. /s
I will apply to the Flamenco Technique Police to have his Flamenco License revoked, as soon as devilhand gives us the FTP's contact info.
he is under the false impression that flamenco comes from Arabic music, the Oud players who accompany makam singers exemplify this in his confused mind. he does not find harmonics used in proper flamenco so would rather hang out at the OUD forum which is clearly more flamenco than Sabicas and friends here.

I've fallen in love with the beautiful sound of oud. I wanted to explore it more and mistakenly I ended up with flamenco. I would never have started my flamenco journey because of solo flamenco guitar of Sabicas or Paco. The only reason is the sound of oud. After 5 years of flamenco journey I already started liking flamenco as an art. Particularly cante accompaniment and falsetas that sound like a melody run played on oud. My fav flamenco guitar technique is thumb. Who knows, maybe I'll buy my first oud before I get my first flamenco.

I hear that Oud is built for a tinny tone, and most front rank Oud players change their instruments frequently because in time any Oud mellows

I fell in love with Zombie movies, and mistakingly found Zambras and flamenco. Now I like both. (Just kidding I hate zombie movies after Return of the Living Dead).

You know, I'm getting on for 60, and the older I get the more I realise I know absolutely fack all. And it's a lovely feeling to be a sponge, a sponge that does not require self-wringing of its malformed contents in vain attempts to impress others, like I used to.
Amen. Well, I’m mid 40’s but headed in that direction lol!
