I used to think the same, guys, and you are both ahead of me. But have you looked at the Chaconne lately? Or Bach in general? It seems to me that flamenco relies on several powerhouse techniques such as arps and picados and ras, developed to a hypermuscular degree, but that classical relies on an extraordinary range of techniques that aren't necessarily so impressive, individually. To me, half the battle in classical is understanding what's going on harmonically. Otherwise, it's extremely difficult to even remember something like Bach, which is an assymetrical, non-repeating "stream of thought." But I certainly don't want to get into a flame with you guys, otherwise I won't get to ask for your advice constantly. :) By the way, Todd, I have a CD with Pepe playing flamenco. He sounds okay, man! You think Moraito is going to do a better job with Bach? Come on!! :)
