He's not a classical guitarist playing the CG repertoire. He's a guy
playing Brazilian music a classical guitar.
In any event, it's some very nice clean playing.

It was too early and I was not clear with that post. I like his
technique and wasn't criticizing him. I don't see his RH being to far
from the ideal CG RH. There are times I think Classical Guitar
critics and audiences value body "form" at the same level of musical
performance.
That is correct Ed, hence the Lutemann Fallacy.

I'm lost. the "Luteman Fallacy" is a very fluid ambiguous term that
can mean almost anything.
Actually, his technique is pretty good sans the bent right wrist. The
left hand is doing a good job, and other than the wrist so is the
right.
If you are refering to him fretting notes with the right hand that is
just an extended technique. Nothing wrong with that on classical
guitar or elsewhere. It is analogous to playing right hand harmonics;
it is not the default position, but we all do it.
Yes. I was referring to a couple of things about the right hand. I
thought that the most interesting part was freting with his right hand
index while strumming with m. I have seen finger tapping before, but
never this particular creative variation.
Although his hand looks incredibly tense to me, I overstated when I
said 'everything wrong'. But the music speaks for itself. I find it
inspiring.
Me neither! Thanks for sharing, it gives me ideas. . .
This is a concept which I find less and less sympathetic. IMO the
thing to do is to practice all useful strokes and not to be
concerned with a default hand position. The concept of "default", or
more often "correct", hand position causes nothing but self made problems
when it is made law and then constantly and necessarily violated.
The simple and simplified guidelines necessary to teach beginners should
be left behind as soon as possible, abandoned like the improvised raft
used to cross a river. You don't carry a raft around forever just
because it carried you.
I would be surprised if anyone here agrees with me, but that
has not been and will never be my problem. Regards, daveA
