an obviously talented musician, I am not sure I can say that he is a talented teacher. I own all 3 volumes and really struggle with the tempo. As another reviewer said, the tab is not precise, and Bob moves very quickly through the material. An advanced intermediate guitarist would likely benefit the most.

One thing that did catch me off guard was when he began to sing. At first, I thought he was just being funny, and imitating an “old African-American” sound and style of singing; like a parody. I was not correct in this; apparently, this was not meant to be humorous.

Most everything from Homespun is gold. They seem to choose talented artists who are also gifted teachers. I am not sure that this DVD fits that bill. Bob is an incredible guitarist, but for an instructional DVD, a talent for communicating that skill, like so many others on Homespun, is essential.

This is one of the most wonderful books I have ever read. Not a slow part in the entire book. Can’t wait to see the movie that is coming out in 2011.

I bought this guitar a while back, when I was just starting to play flamenco guitar. I found it to be too complicated and put it on the shelf. Two years later I decided to give it another try and I am definitely impressed. This is truly the best learn Flamenco guitar DVD out there…..Encuentro videos maybe better but this one’s in english, is accessible and doesn’t cost a $100 per dvd. Aaron covers the tangos, alegrias, soleares and Bulerias palos as well as the various flamenco guitar techniques e.g. rasgeo tremelo e.t.c. Aaron explains clearly what he is doing (whether its explaining a technique or breaking down the falsetas and explaining how to play them.

This DVD is not meant for an absolute guitar beginner because it takes time to develop some of the techniques to a half decent level. For example the rasgeo stroke can take at least 6 weeks to get it down and upto a year to make it sound good. Having said that, if you’re an flamenco guitar beginner willing to invest serious practice time…this DVD might just be the resource you need.
