Learned insight timmus, thank you for your observation.

Kind of funny when this song suddenly goes into a chromatic scale with major chords.  You don't hear that too often.

You're presuming a lot from a casual comment. I presume  OP is an adult, and seems aware of the disadvantages of his/her/ they's lifestyle. I took it in the spirit in which it seemed offered - a nostalgia for a great moment missed, a poke at OP's judgment when younger. You make some mistakes when young.

Lighten up, Francis.

Those who never heard Sabicas or Segovia are blown away by this guy

Too bad I missed that ensemble. Though I did see him play traditional flamenco, surrounded by a semi-circle of Spain's greatest guitarists at the time, each trading leads for the better part of 2 hours. What an experience! I was also lucky enough to catch Stanley Clarke and JLP touring with Al Di Meola as 'The Rite of Strings' 25 years ago. Corny name aside, their fantastic album is still an essential part of my playlists, along with Paco's large traditional, transitional and avant-garde discography.

That is the soundtrack to my first bird flight.

Too bad the recoding quality

Paco is always a 10.
He was supposed to come to Stockholm and I had invitations, but cancelled and a few weeks later we discovered why. Fortunatelly his music is still alive, even in RP!

I was lucky enough to witness Paco, Stanley Clark and Jean Luc Ponty perform together many years ago. It was most excellent

Have never heard this before-just great!

Exactly! And the other one is not just anybody, he is Ramón de Algeciras, his brother, renowned guitarist, composer and songwriter.

God, and this was recorded in 1967!  Rarely played anywhere... but RP.

Rest in peace, Paco!

I really love all the guitar on RP, acoustic and electric.


BTW, that chest strap is an excellent idea.  Gives more room to collect the bills.

Senor, I do agree.
40 years old, too. (the recording, that is)

  This guy never learned how to read music, every note was felt and heard. Simply amazing.

One of the all-time greats!

Indeed!

I've listened to Paco De Lucia back in the late 1970s already and have always been amazed at the beautiful melodies and absolutely astounding speed and immaculate precision of his playing. Just mind boggling.

No, these men are. There are two. I agree though! Amazing!

This man is an amazing guitarist.
