Submissions will be accepted until  November 19th, 2010

The purpose of  CFG Studio’s  Grant / Grants is exclusively to encourage & render available to the public worldwide the culture of contemporary flamenco guitar, specifically the works related to Paco de Lucia’s contributions and innovations on the Spanish & compositional musical field as well as in the Flamenco-Jazz realm for guitar players, guitar teachers, composers and beyond.

Applicants must:

Submit a YouTube video lesson either in English or Spanish language, in which a guitar lesson is given on  the very same subject and with a similar procedure to illustrate about the topic that Maestro Ruben Diaz expounds in this video-lesson. All has to be all based on Paco de Lucia’s discography.

It’s mandatory that the video (either in video-lesson format or lecture, article, etc) submitted by the applicant has a date prior to June 12th, 2010.

The subject of this video-lesson is:

A right hand strum pattern or technique “rítmica” on Rumba-Tangos that Paco de Lucia innovated and uses extensively. To exemplify this technique Maestro Ruben Diaz uses the Rumba “Manteca Colora”, track no. 6 of Paco de Lucia’s  album “Luzia” 1997. To verify the accurateness of the performance the strum is played along with the original recording, then  an explanation is given in English & Spanish about the strumming pattern including an exposition in English of the same technique with metronome in 3 different speeds: low, intermediate & fast.
