Ed, do you have Cable there? Where i live, the normal DSL was very slow (just like yours), but because i had Cable i could choose Unitymedia, so now i have DSL 20.000. But this was the only alternative. Doit, don't know but i think what Ricardo meant, are really few details which would be no problem for a player of this calibre to alterate. I mean take the rest stroke thing for instance: it is quite easy to just rest the thumb on the next string in that arp. part. it is a habbit thing. but it gives you some overall benefits. correct me if i am wrong Ricardo. also this rest stroke thing is not so much about copying someone, but copying a good and most effective way. but i totally agree with you that its best to make everything your own version! like play different falsetas from different maestros, but with your own distinctive style and version. so in this part i fully agree with you. also i have noticed that the more the player is good, the more "picky" Ricardo is, but this is good imo. there is always something little to improve. even Ricardo or anybody else can improve. as an observer from outside, watching somebody else (watching videos like here for instance), you can even see better than that person himself, what still could be improved (maybe some things which he overlooked without intention at the beginning, then just got used to it), yes, even if that person is a much better player than yourself. the player here is really awesome. one of the best i have ever seen. but man we are flamenco "freaks" [:D], we always want to go in to detail as much as possible until nothing is left, otherwise we would just post "awesome" and see the next video. would be boring [:D] btw, interesting, my top favourite part of the videos are not so much all the falsetas but this part: 2.37 - 2.47 in the first video [8D] awesome,
