Tbh though when I'm looking for new material I usually just use certain key words on YouTube and then sort the results by upload date to not always end up with the same results. Just "pena flamenca" usually yields lots of interesting stuff. Another I use is "concurso flamenco". Those stuff are often put on youtube by the municipality or some flamenco association that I'd never think to look for, but with those key words lots of interesting stuff show up. You don't always get HD but you usually get a workable angle on the guitar.

There's quite alot of stuff out there. Yotube can be a real melting pot and sometimes it can be hit and miss.
I've heard stories in past from Guitarists, who told TV people not to film him close up as didnt want people "robbing his material" ie falsetas. Kinda funny, because if your that good, you can work it out by ear. Me, i need to work on my ear alot more.
Any other channels like this people would recommend?
I generally watch cante performances I like. When I hear something inspiring from the guitarist I pick it up by ear or with visual help if their hands are showing.
Maybe you already know Luis Reinaldos Ruiz? He plays along with lots of post 60's cante recordings and clearly shows the fingering.
Solera has quite a few videos of guitarists you might like e.g. Manuel Valencia, El Perla, Manuel Parrilla etc.. There's usually a good view of their hands.
absolutely sickened... the video above that i posted got deleted for some reason or made private...
Which video - the "Tientos - Tangos. Felipa del Moreno. 2014"? It is still visible from Canada, so likely a regional block. I can send it to you if that's the one - PM me.
cant even find out who the channel or the original uploader was either to even request access, was half way through tabbing out some of the ideas manuel showed
it was Jesus Mendez and Manuel Valencia, it was a Solea. my browser history sometimes it saves a cache of the youtube image. just attached a copy of the image
