Judging from the number of YouTube hits of every flamenco video posted, from Sabicas and Paco Cepero to those posted by members of the Foro, and using an obscure algorythm, there are precisely 8,583 flamenco guitarists in the entire world. The majority have never studied under Juan Martin. Cheers, Bill

You could add an answer like " I used his books and videos to learn and they were really helpful, but now that I think I know about flamenco, I pretend to hate his stuff..."[:D]

quote: "Juan Martins El Arte de la Guitarra Flamenca" x 1 for the other half who dont have it you imply by x1 that the other half actually play flamenco and those w this book can't? or you meant x2? Grisha for one claimed he started with it. [;)] Someone else that plays well on here also can't remember who.

stop confusing me man [;)] half of the people that do flamenco have or at one point had this book and judging by my calculation around the same amount that play flamenco dont have it...so if you add em all up u get the closest total amount of flamenco guitar players in the world...........err i think.......wheres my notes i cant think of a more common flamenco thing that anyone in the world might have to tie us all up together...world wide....and then theres the equal amount of the people who dont here in stores u cant find any Paco de Lucia flamenco albums but u can find this book

Well, anything x1 is the same number you started with don't forget. So you need to multiply the number of people that have or had the book by 2x by your logic. I would personally think that more than half the people that have the book or got rid of it never got anywhere. I think Doitsujin already did the math on this came to 99% can't play flamenco that try? [;)]

I had it scanned. It helped me to start (it was very difficult to find whatever about flamenco when I started to play). But I would not reccomend it to nobody to learn from.

Florian -> RE: Quick Simple Survey to Determine Total Amount of Flamenco Guitarists in the world (Aug. 23 2012 21:45:11)
quote: But I would not reccomend it to nobody to learn from. fair enough... I found it useful enough at the start, nicely arranged all the traditional palos with the characteristic falsetas and riffs for palos but arranged for a beginner, a nice order of techniques and its slow introduction into pieces, cd, the material is not that bad for a beginner and the book is nicely planned out...theres plenty worst ones like "Teach yourself flamenco guitar"

Leñador -> RE: Quick Simple Survey to Determine Total Amount of Flamenco Guitarists in the world (Aug. 23 2012 22:08:47)
IMO I think that book in conjunction with a teacher is a good combination for developing a solid base.

quote: True flamencos don't have internet access And how many of those don't speak English? This actually boils down to Fa=FieX Where Fa = AllFlamencos Fie = EnglishspeakingFlamencoswithInternet Given all of them are on the foro and answer the poll we can then assume Fie=2JM Therefore Fa=2JMX So we need a reasonable approximation for X, which of course is the inverse of Fie/Fa. Suggestions??? [:D][:D]
