Hi I recently joined the technique.org site full of video teachings masterclasses etc. Until now I haven't really understood Deppe but after watching som of Alans lessons I think I fully understand it and that's dynamite. I read Alan's books (very fast) and have implemented some of Alans ideas in my playing but watching these clips gave me a different and better understanding.Those few sentences of Amy in a letter to her sister contains the essence of it besides being an invaluable historic document. This is tantric teaching it's maybe not new but what is new is that it explains why many of the old traditions work anatomically and neurologically. And why many don't. So I would recommend, especially to professionals, to have a look at this. Reading books is not enough and the masterclasses with all the big shots may not be. And watching how Kemal Gekic is approaching a composition is just so rewarding.
