Well, i agree with many points you mentioned Prof. Diaz. For example the first part is absolutely correct. But between the lines, i have the feeling that you simply don't accept any other opinion about ANYTHING other than yours, and that whenever you see such an opinion about something that may differ from yours, you feel like it is an attack againts you or disrespect and that everyone wants to be a teacher and a "pilot" now! Actually thats not the case. There is a discrepancy here. I am highly interested to try to learn what you are teaching and to follow instructions without discussing about any technical aspects, just listen and learn. Because i can see that you are a top notch guitarist and teacher. But i am also a human beeing with an own opinion about other things (like other players) that may differ from yours. What shall i do now? Is that too democratic to mention it? Shall we either just shut up and learn what you teach or go to another teacher? And i also have a different opinion about Style. What you say is basically to copy a Style. But if we all do that, we will be simply cheap Copies of Paco. We will never be as good as Paco and we will never have a distinctive Style. So what is wrong about learning from different teachers, combine things, techniques, combine Styles and finally ADD a little bit of own personality and Style ? Isn't that the goal of every musician (Amateur or Pro, doesn't matter)? About internet: it has not only disadvantages but many advantages for many people. For example you could have never reached us without internet and may only be teaching few people from Toronto. And we could never learn from your Youtube Videos. Or for students: we have thousands of students (or people who want to learn or are learning flamenco guitar, but who don't have the chance to personally visit a good teacher in their City/Country/etc.). Is it bad that we have these different Encuentro DVDs from Moraito, Chicuelo, Gerardo Nunez, etc.? Or is it bad that we have online flamenco lessons from Jason MCGuire, Ricardo, Adam del Monte, etc. ? Sure, it is not as good as having a teacher LIVE sitting infront of you and hit on your fingers whenever you do something wrong. But i am convinced that through Video you can copy correct and good technique (as WE CAN DO IT ALSO THROUGH YOUR VIDEOS!!) Anyways, one disadvantage of internet is that people don't sit face to face to talk about a subject and that could create a lot of misunderstanding. It was NOT my intention to disrespect you but i was a little bit offended as i felt that there is some disrespect going on here to other good guitarists (and also because i am huge fan of Diego [:D] )., maybe that was also a misunderstanding. If so, i apologize. But i think a real disrespect would be if i just download your videos for free, and don't even bother what you are talking about, just like people who come to the foro to just download tabs for free for which others put a lot of work into, and then just dissapear and who are not interested in any discussion or the forum in general. I think that would be a real disrespect no? Anyways, hope to read/see/hear more from you
