He is a big picadofan. I know also several of his students and they all focused mainly on picado. The bad part is, that they have no compas, no other technics... just picado. Anyway hes shure a good teacher, if you know what you want. If not, he will show you only picadoruns.. One exception is Rafael Cortes, who was his student for a long time. Till he got much better. So,..it cant be so wrong what he teaches.

Hey thanks for this info. My friend runs the occasional dance and guitar holiday and I help her out with the website etc. We've just been approached by this guy to collaborate. My friend's just been out to see him this week. She says the setup's really good, but she doesn't know much about guitar. This is really useful information.
