Alisa, I do appreciate your support and have always been moved by the grace in which you are able to put yourself across on this forum. But in this case, I feel as though there were statements made by Mr. Ruben[;)] that might have been intended to in some way discredit the online teachers mentioned by Arash...... Adam del Monte, Ricardo and myself namely. So the case is that I await Mr.Ruben's[;)] answer to my question before I decide wether or not I am offended. The question was evaded when I asked the first time. quote:
I dont need to make a living with the guitar,and then have to flatter others to do a bussines,or to say they are ok.when they are not,etc. Is this an accusation directed at anyone in particular? Now in defense of Mr.Ruben[;)] who despite his abrasive use of the English language is a brilliant player and I would say that, yes, he does have much to offer students of flamenco guitar and I do wish him much success in aquiring more "webcam" students to supplement his lack of necessity for financial gain from the guitar as well as continued success teaching the technique and composition of Paco de Lucia. [:D] Paco has been over the past couple of years releasing official books that show in detail how his works are played. They seem to be moving along in cronological order, so the material for Luzia must be a good ways down that road, but it does show that Paco de Lucia DOES in fact place a price on the educational nature of his compositions. As Mr.Ruben has stated he has clearance from Paco de Lucia and the publishing company to teach this material and just as he has been forthcoming about his nationality, professorship and lack of need for money, I am sure that there is nothing for RGB Arte Visual (publisher) or Juan Estrada (Manager) to worry about. I myself feel that Paco de Lucia is quite possibly the greatest living flamenco guitarist in the world today. I have also met Paco myself and found him to be a surprizingly warm and softspoken person.
