ddk -> RE: Been watching these Aaron Gilmartin DVD's-big thumbs up! (Apr. 23 2008 0:05:46)

Greetings amigos, I have to offer a dissenting voice here. I purchased Gilmartin's double DVD set when I first started and while I don't wish to insult anyone, I found that his techniques were not really "flamenco". Particularly the way he uses his right hand positions doesn't give a flamenco sound when he plays. Also, it looks like he has a hard time playing some of the falsettas he is trying to teach. Plus, his Buleria is kind of sad to be honest. He may be simple to understand and to follow, but IMHO you will be learning very pour technique. There are so many other teachers out there! Better off buying a teaching aid from a true flamenco guitarist. I don't wish to be rude because we are all on the same road and if this makes you happy, more power to you. (There's room for eveybody!) Cheers, Dean[:)]
