This great guitarist is a Maestro and we ordinary players should listen to his advice concerning hand position, economy of movement, ergonomics, etc.

I can cite several players at the top of the game who commit these faux pas -especially the pinkie- so it may just go to show that perfect music does not require perfect technique.

Gotta love the Romero's. To me when it comes to quality of sound and bringing out the beauty of the guitar they're at the top of the field.

After hearing Angel play Villa-Lobos Concerto for Guitar and Small Orchestra I thought, "This guy is the best guitarist in the world."

Another way to say it is efficient movement---the less motion the better---as you are saying compared to sports---efficient movement the less movement the better the faster and more accurate you can be.

Yes, a majority of modern (younger) players have impecable tonal control, "monotonal" control I'd say.

economy of movement

Look. This is what it comes down to: standard technique is for the regular players (which is the vast majority of us). If you are a virtuoso, standard technique does not apply. Further, virtuosi don't necessarily make better teachers. They may not even fully understand how they achieve their greatness. Thus,.copying them will not necessarily make us sound like them, though it may inch us forward if we are lucky.

Ugh! It's so frustrating when people talk and they don't describe well for those who cannot see. Do this, move like that, keep your fingers here, use this side of the nails... WHERE? WHICH FINGER, PLAY HOW AND WHICH SIDE OF THE DANG NAILS??? I understand though. It's a visual world after all, most people have excellent or at least good enough sight. Oh well, what do you do? Being blind is a bitch, trust me. I say it unapologetically but be sure: it's no one's fault. We can't reasonably expect the whole world to adjust for one person:) it's just life, mes amis

The Romeros are great "guitar" players true,... but they are not good teachers.

@@00vTv00 How so? I thought this was very informative and well explained. Can you point out to me other teachers explaining these points taking into account blind people? And how deep can he go in a few minutes of explanation? It takes years to teach someone and you want it all explained in three minutes. Not only that it should include an explanation for every single disability? Oh come on now. These comments on verging on the ridiculous.

telling students to keep fingers 5mm in front of the strings, and relax as much as possible is much worse that Ethan Hunt completing his tasks in Mission Impossible. in fact all we need is just a darn darn damn SSSSLLLLLOOOOOOWWWWWW til u can control your fingers individually, and prolonged patience and focus. it took me 6 torturing months consciously controlled to play SLOW scale, in order to correct my wobbling fingers

Bad example. How do you wish he should convey this message in a few short minutes? Of course it takes time, patience and practice. That doesn't mean he should tell you it's ok for your fingers to be all over the place. Well done. Keep practicing.
