Any thoughts? It says you need to be logged in to see the buleria lessons on the right, but I was able to watch anyway. The counting method is totally messed up, the dancing around while playing is amusing and distracting, and the tonic to dominant description of por medio/arriba/abajo is mis leading. Other than that, it's ok.

That was just a lesson excerpt. I thought the same as you did, but on watching the entire video, I realized there were transitions at major points in the video where the material was incomplete because what you viewed was just a sample video of the entire lesson.

Hey Ricardo,
What you saw isn't the entire lesson, it's just a free preview. It's a paid product.
The entire School has been designed to help students understand the basic building blocks of compas, styles and flamenco harmony.
Technically speaking, traditional Spanish counting is musically incorrect and thus even more complicated for the beginners to understand. That's why Nicolas has developed an easier and more accessible way of understanding it. This is even said during the free preview video.
