Difference between old-fashioned and Modern guitars http://www.rdiaz.org/rd-art%207.html <br /> <br />How to Practice 1 http://www.rdiaz.org/rdvideo1375.html <br /> <br />Paco Vs Traditional http://www.rdiaz.org/rdvideo1330.html <br /> <br />........ <br />5 common misunderstandings <br />http://youtu.be/nVxKqswn-9g?t=14s <br /> <br />1) That is all about feeling and not technique. <br />2) That the "Duende" is all a mystery. <br />3) That there is no need to count (out loud) to learn the rhythm. <br />4) That it takes a lot of hours to get things done. <br />5) That using the metronome is a "classical" thing and not for flamenco. <br /> <br />..... <br /> <br />Paco's interview http://www.rdiaz.org/rdmagazine48-08may14.html#specialsectionpaco5 <br /> <br />1) “I leave Spain because the atmosphere is unbreathable for me… The prejudices, the flamenco orthodox people, the tradition… I don’t like all that. I need fresh air. I need to work freely, without static purism that ties me up. The orthodox have messed with me non stop since I started to have success…” <br /> <br />2) “Here (in Spain) I’m always tense, thinking if I’m doing good or wrong, if I’m bothering someone, if I will have to beg forgiveness because I’m a successful person…” <br /> <br />3) “I want to work fulltime in jazz. I think that is a decisive musical movement and I’m interested in all that. My flamenco roots will never be lost but I have so much to see and learn regarding techniques, sound and rhythms.” <br /> <br />4) “The purists want me to play the same things as always. They want me to play obsolete music without experimentation or improvisation.” <br /> <br />.... <br /> <br />5 popular notions which are erroneous <br />http://youtu.be/4opNU8bDNoA?t=1s <br /> <br /> <br />1) That technique is boring to practice. <br />2) That is the amount of time of practice that counts. <br />3) That learning a bit of many things is better than leaning one deeply. <br />4) That playing as a hobby is less than playing "professionally" <br />5) That one can not achieve. <br /> <br />........ <br /> <br />On Feb.25/2015 is already one year of Paco´s disappearance <br />(and I create 4 videos to remember him as a Tribute) <br /> <br />1) My Homage to Paco de Lucia (memorable teacher <br />http://youtu.be/Z2T0N1IPHEw?t=14s <br /> <br />2) Paco advocate improvisation as THE path to be followed <br /> http://youtu.be/hDuvmUWZGWE?t=14s <br /> <br />3) Paco and his vital conflict with boring + obsolete "tradition" http://youtu.be/PKuVyWQJvls?t=14s <br /> <br />4) Paco´s advise to use an standard metronome for practice http://youtu.be/M8oGQAlJsKc?t=14s <br /> <br /> <br />"Difference between old-fashioned and Modern guitars" http://www.rdiaz.org/rd-art%207.html <br /> <br />....... <br /> <br /> <br />Observe Your Playing in Video https://youtu.be/A9q7tZvsVHk?t=14s <br /> <br />Do you practice in front of a mirror...? https://youtu.be/qBcGPZcDtQk?t=14s <br /> <br />My success is to make YOU play better https://youtu.be/9e7ku3x9Oyc?t=14s <br /> <br />...... <br /> <br />My success is to make YOU play better <br />https://youtu.be/9e7ku3x9Oyc?t=6m48s
