I bought this one and Flamenco guitar method volume 1 by gerhard graf martinez. The guitar method by martinez is incomparably better than this one because here Aaron just plays flamenco with basic explanation on the chords, but flamenco is not about chords it’s about right hand moves. I didn’t have the patience to view long enough into dvd but I couldn’t find where he explains how to play rasgaedo. And honestly what the heck did he do with his left nails. They look absolutely horrible. I understand it’s easier to play this way, but c’mon! life ain’t about self torture…
The flamenco guitar method by martinez starts right away from the technique of the rasgaedo, right away you start playing tango.
May be when I’m much more advanced I can appreciate more this dvd, for now it’s useless.

all i can say is that its a great dvd instructional video, i really like some of those little variations he gave in the technique to make the playing more colourful and vibrant, i hope he will do some more in the future on the other flamenco palos such as siguirya, farruca or fandangos.

The presentation is not good. The guy is not prepared, repeats himself, lacking of methodology… Beside he got some horrible nail infection so the maestro’s hands looking like he just had outbreak of leprosy. It is difficult to watch and hard to concentrate on video.

El DVD está en inglés por supuesto, pero si lo entiendes y además tienes al menos “un poco” de práctica con la guitarra (acordes, progresiones y rasgueo básico) y tienes verdaderos deseos de aprender la guitarra flamenca, entonces te recomiendo estos DVDs. Se ilustra paso a paso las técnicas básicas, el rasgueo, el adistramiento para abordarlo, el abanico, etc. Desmenuza la melodía en partes fáciles de digerir -con mucha práctica- para luego integrarlas en la melodía completa.
Si quieres aprender y estás dispuesto a dedicarle tiempo diariamente a practicar las técnicas, este video te servirá de mucho, ademas de que es inspiracional. La técnica de este cuate es bastanbte depurada, hace que uno desee esforzarse en imitarlo.
Créeme no te decepcionarás, más no olvides que no hay magia, requiere de mucha paciencia y mucha más práctica, el video es sólo una guía, pero una buena guía eso sí.
