Anthony, that was a great post. Said all the things I wanted to say, plus I learned quite a few things, thanks for that.
Sorin, the fantasia idea is not really new, but he was going for different forms all in a special tunning, with a certain "aire". Chicuelo's thing seems similiar, but actually he is very dance oriented. If you know about dance than you can find his stuff really useful. The fact that you took notice, means you learned something about baile too.
You are getting the musical sections of a Taranto dance. Something libre, the slow Taranto markings, the up beat tangos, and the rumba finale. Very typical. Later you get the same stuff for Solea (in Mi, or E phrygian). The dance can have the free and lyrical sections, the sloooow melody, the solea por bulerias, and of course bulerias finale. Then he gives you Alegrias, again, different sections for baile. Medium speed, slow "silencio" and the bulerias de cadiz if you will. His vid is a really important learning tool IMO. I saw him live, and he really gives up the goods in this vid. He played all that Taranto stuff for Poveda's sister. He does not reveal the cante sections, but that stuff is covered in other people's vids.
Also, check out Rito y Geografia. Pepe Martinez was doing pizicato, tambura, etc way back. I remember hearing Carlos Montoya slap or something. Van Halen loved Carlos Montoya. As far as new technical innovations, I don't know. Who knows, maybe someday someone will figure out how to play flamenco with a pick! Oh, wait....[;)]
