RE: Flamenco teacher on your tube? (in reply to Patrick)

ORIGINAL: Patrick I think you guys are missing the point. The guy is totally clueless as to what flamenco is or how to play it. i have a friend who made his money as a student with playing guitar and singing along in pubs (and not half bad). Whenever we meet he tells me "hey lets play a flamenco together!" and then he plays sort of bossa/rumba over Am/G/F/E - he simply thinks that IS all flamenco is abuot. Just like this guy who obviously never got initiated by a knowing person. HOWEVER, he does try to help, he invested work, he certainly does no harm. I think its just poor to criticise him unless you have something better online. And i mean an attempt to teach people, not to show how brilliant you are or how good and affordable your lessons are. You know how i got to this board? Some guy on mundo-flamenco forum linked here, to a video of toddK and talked similiary about his style/technique. I found that disgusting. Do it better or shut up ; in fact, even if you do it better, still shut up. This isnt olympic competition, its music for gods sake. Why do people put most of their time effort and energy into putting other peoples music down, instead of showing some respect? OK, had to say that. Now happy holidays to everyone

I appreciate your compassion and your generosity but I think he does harm even if it is not his purpose. I think that when you want to teach you have to know what you are speaking of...In faft I do not mind the video of that guy, anybody can show anything, that is the freedom of the net, what is revolting are all the guys who thank him and who are abused by an ignorant. I hope that some of that guys are reading that post. I am 50 and I made a lot of efforts since 30 years to learn flamenco and I am still learning. I met people who pretented to play flamenco, who pretented to teach dance, guitar and who took the place of others with true knowledge. So Paco, if you really respect flamenco as an art, do not think he does no harm. Showing something you does, great, but pretend to teach something you ignore, no, thanks. The pity is that he does not know that he does not know, and he really wants to help people...
