edgar884 -> NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 15 2014 23:25:25)

I'm gonna be in New York the week of the 9th to the 13th and would desperately like to take a lesson from someone.


Somebody please help me. [:)]



rombsix -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 16 2014 0:38:44)

edgar884 -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 16 2014 0:43:40)

edgar884 -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 16 2014 3:28:39)

Is there anybody else in NY.



edgar884 -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 16 2014 4:15:10)

I don't want to be rude, but that guy in the beginning was really really bad, **** I thought I needed practice, that sounded like a lifetime of bad habits.

I found some much better (competent) vids of Pedro but not many, I cant watch this it makes me sick to my stomach. Out of tune bad technique wut the ----. Didn't ricardo do an album with Jesus, I bet that **** is awesome, but this is worse than the stuff I don't post. I'm really disappointed.

I think I'll just do Skype lessons, I think I will learn more.

You guys cant be serious right.[:)]

What does that guy have to do with Pedro's teaching/playing skills?



edgar884 -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 16 2014 4:25:25)

Come on Rombsix there both off out of tune missing notes. I couldn't find one vid of Pedro playing a solo por anything on you tube. But I did find some stuff of him playing well and he seems to be a good person.



tommyberre -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 16 2014 5:21:12)

Edgar, are you serious?

Pedro Cortes sounds really good to me, did you even bother to listen to the video?

Gabe, he's Jason McGuire's teacher, so there must be something you're missing. [:)]

edgar884 -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 16 2014 14:02:04)

I saw all of these. I have to admit I'm not very impressed.
For someone who teaches I would expect to find some much better quality vids and playing.

I don't get away this kinda of thing here and I don't think someone who claims to teach Flamenco should either.

Sorry.

Just my Oppinion.

Did you think that about Jason McGuire too, or just about Pedro Cortés?



Leñador -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 16 2014 17:43:16)

I see what your saying Edgar, he's not a virtuoso but he is puro as ****. That cante accompaniment is very classy and spot on, he's a singers player.

That first guy was an abomination though......



jg7238 -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 16 2014 18:04:26)

Hey Edgar,

I recommend Arturo Martinez. He has plenty of experience and really knows his stuff from what I hear. If you are in the NYC area he is probably the "go to guy" apart from Pedro. If not then maybe I could show you some stuff if I'm free. I teach mainly beginners though. You seem to be like an intermediate. Check out a clip of him playing...





mark74 -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 16 2014 19:27:35)

I don't know if this guy gives personal lessons, but I think he's in New York




mark74 -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 16 2014 19:33:57)

Not to be rude, but I didn't understand that at all

You didn't get that but you posted a dude playing slow ass picado scales?????

I'm beginning wonder if you are actually a known member under a different name posting controversial things to watch how people react................Ricardo?? Stephen?? Jason maybe???



mark74 -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 16 2014 20:12:45)

Dan Garcia is classical/flamenco guitarist originally from Madrid who does a bunch of different instructional videos on the How To series...that video is just one of many, hes a solid, well respected guitarist. Nothing controversial about him.



Mark2 -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 16 2014 20:20:52)

Really? You'll be in NY for one lesson and you don't think a guy like PC is good enough? I guess you've never seen him play, don't know his history. I've seen your vids and am pretty sure that you could study with Pedro for years and benefit greatly from his knowledge. And that's no slight on your ability at all. it's just that he's a professional player with decades of experience playing for other professionals.

If you expect every teacher to have chops like the top guys in the field, you better go to Spain, where you'll also find many great teachers with great amounts of knowledge who might not have PdL's speed in picado. The fact that you think he's "getting away with something" is so off base it only shows how much you need someone like him.

you guys are very receptive to the false flag attack mindset as I can notice. You should join some others foro members and form a pena of inspektor named uncloaked inc. or something like that...and make sure to not run out of pills [;)][:D][:-]



edgar884 -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 17 2014 0:23:21)

Ok fair enough, I didn't say anything bad, I was just disappointed in what I found. But your probably right.
If he is so good than why is his guitar out of tune. Well I guess Jimi Hendrix was a bad ass and he was always out of tune as well even Jeronimo is always out of tune.
Is it bad to want the best teacher possible. And Ill be there for 4 nights so was hoping for more than one lesson.

Anyway didn't want to offend anyone.

I'm sure I could learn plenty from him.

Look who I'm going to see tomorrow ?!?!

Very weird coincidence, I'll let you know how it goes. [;)]



ToddK -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 19 2014 2:27:48)

many times you'll find, the greatest players, are not always the
greatest teachers, and vice versa.

That said, Gabe, i can tell by the way you play, that you have self monitoring issues,
but after seeing this thread, i'm starting to wonder about your ears
in general. I think your listening criteria needs um, i guess i would call it
"re-calibrating".

TK



Miguel de Maria -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 19 2014 2:59:31)

I took a couple of lessons from Pedro when he was in town about 10 years ago or so. (damn, I sound old, don't I?) He showed me a couple of falsetas. The main thing I took away from it is he said he was always studying and listening to everything and trying to incorporate new sounds into his playing.



edgar884 -> RE: NEW YORK TEACHER PLEASE (Jan. 19 2014 15:55:46)

I'll be the first to admit that I need help, and have a lot to learn.
I'm sure that concert will be great Lenador. It seems to me that attitude is everything in Flamenco and Pedro is highly respected something I don't have.
I really enjoy the stuff he does with cante. And maybe my ears do need re-calibrating but Mhauser was definitely full of bad habits and out of tune and well uhhhhh.
Anyway I see what you guys are saying and I am sorry if I offended. He's probably exactly who I would need to study from.

Sincerely Edgar. [:D]
