Vicente Gomez. I love this old shit. But I think my guru would comment on his thumb technique - ’ from the wrist, not the thumb joint’ !

It was called I Can Count to 12. Then I realised you'd only get that if you already got it. And no one would find me. If they'd have wanted to. So I've renamed it. Inspired by the Pacos who inspired me. It's still my flamenco journey. And it's still a slow journey.
I've been weaned primarily on Nuevo Flamenco, but I've gotta admit, the more I hear of some of this old stuff the more I'd like to incorporate this type of feeling into my own playing. I, too, noticed the thumb technique. I guess he can get away with his style and still make it sound great since he wrote the song and was obviously completely at ease playing it, as is usually the case when one performs their own compositions. He incorporated the wrist with the thumb a bit more around 2:05. Great video.
