AGAIN, just another boring opinion which we  could do without... {#Iamwithstupid}

Why do you not just press the PSD button and leave the rest of us to enjoy the tune...{#Beat} I am quite sure, there are more people here with "very bad taste" who do.

Why do you "enlightend" critics not form a club?

We others are not worthy of your "good taste"!!!

AND you as well have neglected to mention "good flamenco guitar"!! But to bitch about is easier, is it not, than to show some real knowledge?




Hey - I don't agree with him either, but what's with all that anger? Let everyone have their opinion, and respect that. You think we can do without his opinion? Wrong. One of the great things about RP is that we all get to voice our opinion, and vote - accept that please

Agreed. I find Jesse's tracks to be wonderful, melodious and fluid. Fine by me if he's not purist.

Well, there is nothing "flamenco" in this tune. I hope this is enlightening enough. It's just a tacky (and boring) tune by a guy with very good technique (and very bad taste).

Do you now? What is - in the opinion of such a Flamenco enthusiast as yourself - "good" and "bad" Flamenco Guitar?

Please do enlighten us mere peasants.{#Whistle}

I emjoy good Spanish classical guitar and flamenco, but this is just boring. It's just too repetitive. But then all his melodies seems to sound the same to me.

Not bad. Just a bit derivative, IMHO. 

 
This style of guitar playing and composition has been probably around for about 400 years before Al DiMeola was born.

Very nice playing. I'm looking at protein skimmers for my fish tank, and it's hard to concentrate with such nice music coming through my speakers.

I'd never heard of Jesse Cook before I started listening to RP, and now I LOVE his stuff! I have 3 of his CDs and his DVD. This song is great, as usual. Now I'll have to get this CD, also!

He's no Esteban! ;) (just kidding) Great player! He reminds me of Paco De Lucia.

I surely hope he earned enough to hire human percussionist for following albums. Strong four from me.

Yeah, I really like Jesse Cook's stuff, but something's amiss here. You may have pegged it.

Bought this CD (thanks to RP playing his music!). The rest of the songs are not as high energy as this one but still the CD is outstanding. If you like this type of music, buy it. Very enjoyable!

coltrane puts more soul in one not than this guy does in a thousand. Try McLaughin for speed and passion. Dot

You should see this guy live. The guitar smokes! Deep charisma, too.
