From what i read, the MAC Encuentro has no slowed down videos, which is suboptimal for a tuition DVD seeing as this thread has resurrected, i have seen this vid, not to study in detail but just to watch, and there are slow speed (as well as normal speed) versions of all the stuff in the first half of the vid - solea in E, G# and D#, tangos in A and C#, and bulerias in A, C# and D#, and tarantas, granainas and malagueñas. The second half of the vid is full concert pieces, transcribed in the book but only normal speed in vid. quote:
I would really like to know how much of the Fernandez DVDs is fluff material i.e. interviews etc. as mentioned in the description. I have seen the Paco Fernandez vids too. again, i haven't sat down and studied the dvd's, but have had a quick look. the interviews etc. are semi-interesting to watch once.... and repeated the same in both vids There are 2 complete concert pieces in each vid, all of them tracks from his cd. The "beginners" section is just some stuff about sitting, holding the guitar and hand position. and it is repeated in both dvd's. The intermediate section is a sort of practise study thing, again same in both dvd's. so it looks like you don't get much and it's mostly advanced.... but What you do get is the concert pieces/cd tracks in 4or 5 versions. first the track from the actual cd with a compas number thing blipping along on screen, then a slower version of PF playing face to the camera fairly close, than another even slower version in split screen close up of both hands. also a close up of him playing and singing the letras from the tracks that have them. lastly there is also a version of him playing more or less the same "piece" live in a concert with cajon and singer (not identical obviously). Anyone who wants to study technique can lift the scales, arpegios, rasgeos, etc. etc. from the slow versions to practise.... so it seems like you don't get much material (compared to Encuentro), but what you do get you get you get in a lot of detail and in several different speed versions (more than Encuentro).
