Blondie#2 -> Gerardo Nunez Encuentro DVD (Dec. 2 2012 12:18:16)

Anyone know where to get this online in UK/Europe? (Not including flamenco world). Several places I have tried indicate its not in stock or no longer stocked.

Also, how good/useful are the explanations he provides for the techniques/exercises? I've seen several parts of the video, which is in Spanish of course so its difficult for me to make a judgement on what these explanations 'add' (I understand there are English translations in the book).

Thanks.

Its fantastic, he explains loads of techniques very clearly, there are lots of exercises and some really hard but inspiring pieces.

You can buy it here.

From what I've heard, Gerardo's explanations are as, or more thorough, than those offered in other videos from this series.

I think his explanations are sufficiently helpful. But just as important perhaps are the slow demonstrations of various techniques. For me, at least, this DVD is the single best purchase I've made of any instructional material. I bought mine six years ago and still return to it.

The english translation is cross referanced to the bar numbers of the music which are clearly marked through out and with a bit of work its all fairly clear.
I have been bought four of these encuentro DVDs by my family,their very expensive and I,ve found them to be excellent.
As well as the Nunez dvd I have Tomatito ,Requeni,Habichuela and they are all different all entertaining.
The Nunez has alot of exercises in the first half with chapters on different technique, pulgar,,tremolo etc with the thumb work taking up nearly half of this section which is why I bought this one first .Ive had it nearly five years and it will be another five years until I think I will be playing most of whats here.

Its full of great stuff , years of ideas to work on, its only fault is a couple of the performance pieces at the end are a bit obscure for a teaching vid IMO but the rest of the pieces are terrific.
The best thing is Gerardos playing,he makes the simplest things sound awesome !!!!

By contrast the Habichuela vid is a collection of pieces of which he the plays selected falsetas slowly after each performance, all great stuff and for a guitarist who hasnt released a great deal over the years its like haveing a extra cd from this great player and I burnt the performances to disk.
The Tomatito and Requeni dvds are similer but Pepes is great value .

Get the Nunez dvd and you'll be playing it for years

I think its more accurate to say he makes awesome things sound simple. Its deceptive, especially with some of the thumb work. The Gerardo video is probably THE BEST explained collection of flamenco technique out there and I would highly recommended for any player...even classcial players would learn a lot from this. You will be referring back to it again and again.
