Simon;

I have Chuck's original collection on audio and video tapes as well as his CD version. There is a lot of information for less than the cost of two lessons. In fact there is a course of six lessons included with all the material. This is something I recommend very highly.

Chuck Keyser was a light in the darkness many years ago when there was almost nothing else available. He has a real gift for analyzing and then clearly explaining things.

People getting into Flamenco today don't realize how lucky they are to have such an incredible amount of resources available. Especially the videos, because a few minutes of watching a technique properly demonstrated on a video is worth a couple of thousand words and will save you from years of wondering around blind. God, how I wish this stuff was available 25 years ago.
