ok, following on from the write up on classes with jesus agarrdo, i said i would do a review of the lessons i had with nino jero and david serva. if anyone should happen to be in madrid or in jerez looking for lessons with these great teachers.
lesson with david serva
david is a super patient and funny guy. great teacher and amazing toque, he showed me quite a couple of variations and endings for some falsetas i already knew and showed me some of diego del gastors material. the material we covered was solea and siguiriyas.he also showed quite a couple of variations on compas and rasgueo patterns. it was a great lesson and he was very patient and allowed me to record at the end.
i think the most important thing i got out of the lesson was advice from david on how to practice and how to think about getting your toque sounding much more authenic and focusing on "good sound". it was quite alot of food for thought.
plus he took me for a beer and a chat later on.[:)]
lesson with nino (perikin) jero
during the lesson with perikin jero, i was pretty much given everything i asked for falseta wise. i basically asked him to show me the falsetas he played in the puro y jondo dvd set with juan villar and el torta. he showed me all the falseta´s i tried to work out from the videos, but were missing parts because the videos shifted to the singer when he played the falsetas. he showed me everything he did from solea por buleria, siguiriyas, tientos and tangos.
he also showed me some distinguishing rasgueo patterns which he said were particuliar to jerez, the jerez soniquete and were used by most modern flamenco´s as well. which was equally valuable for me.
it was a great lesson and he was very patient and went through the falsetas super slow and let me record at the end.
