Mark, consider this: when you know more than someone, it's easy to see how much they know. But when you think someone knows more than you, how do you know they know? Estela 'Zata' [/quote] I was refering to people I know personally, those who I've seen perform, played with, or, as in the case with Brook Zern, I know from his posts that he has a lot of experience. For example, his extensive knowledge of recordings tells me that he has spent a lot of time listening to flamenco. And I'll never forget his description of the playing of Pepe Motos, a guitarist I've never heard, who, based on his account , was a great player. John Moore wrote a very fine post on the different kinds of aficianados and what kinds of knowledge they have, from senoritos to guitarists to singers, etc. I think that if you can wade through the personal BS, one can learn from these different kinds of people, if you have enough experience to know what is legit and what is BS.
