Video
There are a lot of videos out there. Some of them are great. . . some not so much. My purpose here is to assemble a useful collection of videos and commentary that will help flamenco guitarists of all levels navigate the seemingly endless expanse of media made available on the Internet.
Flamenco: A Personal Journey Filmmaker Tao Ruspoli made the classic expatriate flamenco pilgrimage: he went to Spain to learn flamenco directly from the gypsies of Andalucía. The big difference between his experience and the experience of the scores of flamencos that preceded him is that he filmed it . . .
Grisha Goryachev's Tips on Picado If you haven't seen Goryachev's YouTube videos yet, I can't recommend enough that you check him out. He is an extraordinary interpreter of both flamenco and classical styles--and is absolutely mind-blowing to watch. . . .
Moraíto Chico's Alegria in C Much of the solo flamenco guitar tab for alegria out there is either in the key of E or A major. This is great for solo playing and often suits female singers quite well. Evidently, however, the more common place for men to sing alegria is in the key of C (relative to the capo, that is) . . .
Vicente Amigo's Alegria por Baile We're all no doubt familiar with the "classic" alegria accompaniment for baile (dance). But what do you do when a dancer or a singer tells you to put more "space" in it? This guy is a master at this--and this video has some beautiful examples of sparse, "space-filled" playing . . .
Have a video to suggest? Lay it on me :
