ORIGINAL: NormanKliman You guys are misunderstanding me. I never said there's a lack of composition, harmony or anything in flamenco. Maybe the wording of my last post made you think differently. I just said "playing with less or no tone, harmony, composition etc" (your words), not lack of. What does "technique oriented" mean else than being *more* focused on that as on other fields like the ones i was quoting from your post? It is clear that you arent critisizing, since you say that all flamenco guitarrists have been always after some "flash" (as opposed to other music/guitar styles i assume). The only thing i said or disagreed with, is that there are also other elements which the modernists use, especially harmony, composition, which was not that apparent back in the days. Just wanted to make this clear, it adds nothing new to the debate, especially not to the Nunez topic. quote:
but if you try to play THEIR way, you soon realize that its DAMN hard and needs as much as practice, like to play a super fast picado run. It certainly is not easy, but i dont think that picado skills and "playing a Morao falseta"-skills are equal. With picado there is just a physical limit for everyone, and it probably requires an insane, i repeat, insane amount of practice to come close to it. If this limit is at 150, 200 or 250 bpm, you cant influence that. I dont think that you can achieve any speed with practice. There is just a limit. But if somebody says that is wrong, then this would make me more happy coz that means i could probably be faster than i am now. My experience after 7 yrs is: In the end it boils down to technique, technique, technique. A bad guitarrist/performance is in 9 of 10 cases caused by not enough technique IMO and not feeling, or anything else. And i say this as someone who has beginner/intermediate technique!!! And for sure i would say i am a bad guitarrist [:D][:@]
