you shouldn't call his records drink coasters sorry tluczek, your right, i was exagerating. Like i said his method book was excellent when i started flamenco, i should not have been disrespectful (it was only ment to be a joke).

The encuentro series have great guitarrists. It would be very very hard for Emilio to impress after Gerardo Nunez, I think. Emilio is a great player, I could imagine that he has great stuff for a video. But I think they only take bigger names of today, or good friends of the producers. I think if Paco Serrano would do the same video as they did, today..it would be hard. So if they produce a new video, it will be an enormous great player with crazy inventions. But there is a chance. They took some guitarrists who are just friends or cloth to a special place. And there is a percussion player who allways wants to be on the videos but isnt outstanding.. Just a good friend of the people who produce the videos. Finally he accompanied a very good guitarrist on one of the videos and the great guitarrist said that he plays not good, but he can acomp. him coz he is the house-percussionist. I dont wanna say names but you can see in the video which I mean, that the guitarrist allways looks at the percussionist and allways gives him hints when he has to start and where a llamada is, as the percussionist would be a child with two left hands. So the videos are great, but behind the camera is much crap going on, I heared. Trust me.

Doitsujin, even though you are "right" in my opinion, you are being WAY to critical of the series. I know one guy involved, he is an excellent guitarist, and the project he admitted is a big pain, very difficult, transcribing and translating, no money made in the long run, and they do it because of their love of the art. At the time he told me this, it was before Nunez vid. He said he did not want to do anymore, unless Nunez agreed to do it, which he did NOT want to at that time. I told him if they could convince him, they must do it on DVD. I don't see any need to complain about any of the vids, they are not perfect at all. But imagine if we had NONE of them? The percussion is just a reference for the student, at least he is not rushing or dragging the time. He seemed "scared" of Nunez and Tomatito. In Spain they have cante competition and the singers often have to use the same guitarist, crappy or not. So, a good singer/guitarist should not have to rely on his own personal accompanist. Nunez shows us the real stuff, Tomatito too, but no words. I love nunez, he is the top for me, but many don't like him. I have met many that learned from Paco Serrano. And something like the Cante vid was helpful, though not top notch. Techniques are not the end of learning in flamenco. Chicuelo shows stuff that works well for baile, so I could imagine seeing a GOOD accomp for baile teach a vid that is not about playing techniques. Someone like Paco Fernandez for example... Just some thoughts. Ricardo
