I watched a documentary from Argentina about the old master tango musicians coming together with young talented musicians to teach them the technique of how to play the original tango sound. Although the young musicians had old videos, original sheet music and live recordings of the old masters they were unable to get the same sound no matter how many times they listened to the recordings or watched the videos. It was impossible without the help of the old masters showing them special secrets only they knew. The point is no matter how many times you watch a video there is something going on below the surface that is undetectable even if you consider yourself advanced there is no substitute for learning one on one from a master teacher. The question is can you learn to dance tango from watching a video? And the answer is… Yes you can. Another question would be can you learn to dance tango WELL from watching a video ???? David
