I haven't but did look at the free online Atrafana videos which I found somewhat useful. I have found Flamenco Explained by far the most useful and comprehensive. I have a monthly subscription that I regularly pause, it's only £17 per month.

I studied with Ramon Ruiz in London for 20 hours last year which gave me the solid technique grounding and posture, relaxed technique, etc. that I needed in order to progress. I think in-person lessons are so valuable, but get an online lesson or three with Ricardo or Grisha or John Walsh so that you have the solid grounding you need. Otherwise you may need to unlearn a lot, or worse you may get injured.

I have used the Atrafana courses and they are great. The basic beginner techniques 101, and palos 102 course is free, and you can buy the pdf files for it for very little. Also the course where he sends material every 2 weeks for year. Called" Biweekly lesson delivery" . Very clear videos to see all the nuances.

No idea, but the sound comes from the player, the guitar and strings play a smaller role in the sound than you may believe.

Conde Hermanos. He used to use an old 2A negra, then a Felipe V negra and Felipe V blanca, a Felipe Conde negra. Also an old Ricardo Sanchis Negra.
