@@TheJLPShow which is why i called bs precisely. Listen i may not play lately....BUT i spend in my youth some years playing CLASSICAL guitar which is very different by what people describe as acoustic and also from Flamengo guitar we see here . In case you did not know as you play electric and electric usually is played with a pick, guitar in music theory is classified as a polyphonic instrument like piano is , in contrast for example to a violin which is considered monophonic as by it's strings placement and geometry the bow can only simultaneously touch 2 adjacent strings maximum. In guitar when one finger plucks like in Flamengo and classical as well those who use fingers in acoustic, he had the option to use thump on bass string and 3 fingers on bottom strings simultaneously, striking a chord, as well play sequentially by strumming which is called an arpeggio. Pick players can only do the later. Regardless of how fast you play (and trust me is not as fast as tremolo technique like for example in piece Recuerdos de la Alhambra) you are limited to 1 note at a time sequentially. And no i am not biased against electric guitar, heck i am a metalhead and enjoy a solo as much as a good riff, but i know the limitations and can distinguish. If you want to understand classical guitar try find anything played by arguably the greatest classical player who was Andres Segovia. And for flamenco try Paco de Lucia or alternatively another great one, Paco Pena

He is considered the best in Spain. He is a genius. He is very famous here.

I saw him play in Germany, and he ended up playing for about three and a half hours. Because the crowd simply would not let him leave. He did something like NINE encores. Well dressed People in one of Europe’s great concert halls (The Beethoven’s Liederhalle in Stuttgart), who almost rioted because left the stage. He kept coming back. No one sat down at all for about the last 2 hours of the show. It was described in the local paper as “a religious experience”. A friend of mine who is a brilliant guitarist was there with me, and he had tears in his eyes. He said “it’s like seeing God, but for guitarists”

And Brian said: can you give me the phone number of where Paco is? and they answered yes, of course, it's in that hotel in Malibu... In the end, Paco de Lucia was a few meters away from Brian Adams in the hotel across the street, and they played that song together.

Guys, don't try this at home... Paco is REALLY THE G.O.A.T.!!!🍻

I NEVER get tired of seeing people get speechless admiring our beloved, our greatest, Paco de Lucía. He is the peak of Spanish flamenco guitar playing, and we are so honoured to be alive to listen to his heritage. God bless him in the sky.

Well, you're right. He started very early. I saw an interview with him on the Spanish TV, many years ago. The interviewer was insisting so much on this "talent" thing, Paco got kind of annoyed, and he cut the interviewer off at the first chance saying: "Yes, you're right, I've been blessed with this natural talent. And because of this natural talent, since when I was 5 years old, I spend up to 14 hours PER DAY practicing the instrument". 😅🙂🤦🏼‍♂ If you want to get a better glimpse of his incredible talent, you should watch ANY of his videos in which he plays either "Bulerias", "Almoraima", or some other classical flamenco... Guitar solo, I mean. THAT is actually something to break one's brain apart. 😁 And if you want him playing with another INCREDIBLE guitar playing, check "Mediterranean Sundance", both with Al di Meola or with Al and John McLaughlin. There's a number of those performances live videos. 🙂 Another great guitarist that is emerging recently is a young Italian guy named Matteo Mancuso. His fingerpicking style is unique, and he's been praised by a number of great guitarists, including Al di Meola, Steve Vai, and others. Check any of his live videos, or the official music videos from his most recent album "The Journey". 🙂 I just have a limitless admiration for these guys. 🤩 Loved your reaction to one of my favourite songs. It's always a joy to watch you reacting to something really good. You seem to PERCEIVE it at many levels. 🙂 See you next time!

Audience member: “How did you get so good?” Andy McKee: “Practice.” (Laughter) Andy McKee: “No. Really.” There are some natural talents a person can have but nothing beats dedication and work. And Paco is the living embodiment of this. I would have been annoyed as well 😄.

Paco de Lucía es una leyenda, ya no habrán guitarristas como él. Él mismo ha declarado de que niño practicaba la guitarra 14hs todos los días. Esos números hoy son impensados, es una absoluta bestia. Y nos legó una de las citas (para mi) más contundentes de la constancia y la práctica: "Si dejo de tocar la guitarra un día, lo noto yo. Si dejo de tocarla una semana, lo notan mis amigos. Si dejo de tocarla un mes, lo nota el público" Paco de Lucía is an absolute legend, there will no longer be guitarists like him. He said that as a child, he practiced the guitar 14 hours every day. Those numbers today are unthinkable, it is an absolute beast. And he left us one of the most powerful quotes (for me) about perseverance and practice: "If I stop playing the guitar for one day, I notice it. If I stop playing it for a week, my friends notice it. If I stop playing it for a month, the public notices it"

Me encanta ver a gente descubrir a Paco de Lucía. Un niño prodigio de la guitarra, su padre, también guitarrista. Fue de los primeros en mezclar flamenco con otros estilos musicales, le impresionó muchísimo el blues y el jazz y le influyó en renovar el flamenco. Tocó con grandes músicos de diferentes generos, pero a nivel mundial el flamenco no es muy conocido y eso no le dió el reconocimiento mundial que se hubiera merecido.

Paco is one of my old guitarheroes. I remember "Mediterranean sundance" he playd with Al DiMeola and John McLaughlin. Stunning. Paco was one of the best. Great guy. Thank you.

By that time he had earned multiple weeks of vacation so we took 3 of them & drove to Spain for a lovely holiday. One of the campgrounds we stayed at had a birthday party for the owner & we were introduced to this kind of Spanish guitar music. When we asked if there was an artist they could recommend for us to buy a record of, they told us of Paco de Lucia. We got the Fuente y Caudal album & I have been a fan ever since. Idk if you can stand to listen to another of his songs w/out your brain exploding (you came pretty close on this song, lol), but if you think it’s worth the risk I would encourage you to check out the song of the same name as the album. It’s my favorite flamenco type song from his album.

In Spain we dont introduce him in the old cliche debate about who's the best guitarrist in History, because we know that he was over that, he`s HIM.

Pero es indiscutible que es y será un genio de la guitarra por siempre. Le aconsejo,escuché,"río ancho",que es otra rumba como entre dos aguas y la de tiko-tiko creo es una malagueña,uno de los palos del flamenco,pero solo instrumental,no hay canto. Ahí hace una auténtica sangría de las cuerdas de su guitarra. Después ya más improvisación cuando se junto con Jhon Mclawing y Meola en un festival llamado el sundance festival samer,o algo así,mi inglés es nefasto. Ahí a cual es mejor,madre mía,eso sí es tocar la guitarra,lo demás son tonterías.

Posiblemente, el mejor guitarrista de toda la historia. Paco.

Paco De Lucia is the best guitarist that has ever existed in this planet.

I discovered Paco in 1977 and I've been practicing his fingerpicking ever since. He is the master on flamenco guitar! Nobody can come close at least that I'm aware of.

Was at a concert in 1983 in Rome ( teatro Sistina), alt the women were screaming like crazy , he was like a god , it was insane and the best concert I have ever been too 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️

Paco was, is and will remain a legend of the art of Flamenco as a guitarist. He was playing with his soul. He didn't even know how to read music. He recorded himself on a tape recorder and memorized the songs by ear.

Something I notice with some of these really great guitar players is how clean the transition between notes is. Sometimes with less talented players you get the sounds of the fingers sliding along the strings between notes, but the releases are so clean and he doesn't need to feel along the strigs for where to go, he just has perfect muscle memory to make the move and confidently press back onto the strings.

great paco de lucia! Did you know this song was improvised? There was a song missing to close the album, and he played and recordered on the spot.🤯😍

Probably the most natural and sincere reaction I've seen from this wonderful guitarist.

The most amazing thing is he always thought he could do it better. He never did it well in his opinion. He was a perfectionist. He was really tired in his last years of playing guitar because he said playing guitar is one of the most exhausting things to do in life. No doubt he was a master and an absolute legend

This is the best reaction I have seen of Paco in a loooong time. Thank both of you for this.

He is and will be king of kings, his talent and mastery of the flamenco guitar is mythical....he is unique, the years go by and thanks to the dissemination of his work on the Internet, there are more and more reactions and astonishment.... As a Spaniard and an admirer of his talent in flamenco guitar music you never get tired of listening to him, because of how extraordinary and beautiful his guitar sounds you never get bored...As a person he was shy and humble, but he loved music like no one else and he was super perfectionist....Without words few qualifiers can represent his extraordinary skill.Celestial Paco de Lucia...

This song and performance from the best guitarist ever, my countryman Paco de Lucía, is one of the things that makes me just smile and enjoy. I'm really glad you came to know him. Cheers.

I've been a fan of Paco's for decades. He really is a maestro. But you should check out some of the work he's done with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin.

I saw THE trio with Al and John twice. Both Di Meola and McLaughlin were rightly in awe of him. He appeared on Al's second solo album and that led to the trio. McLaughlin wrote a beautiful tribute to him. Check out their two live albums, Friday Night in San Francisco and the sequel Saturday night.

There is something missing that I think makes him even more valuable. He didn't know how to read or write music. For instance, he memorized "El concierto de Aranjuez" to play it. Paco de Lucia was simply awesome, a gift to our ears and an honor for our people. Glad you guys like it, there is no way to deny his "duende" and beauty.

I have been listening to this legend for almost 30 years. "Entre dos aguas" and "Fuente y caudal" are my favourites songs

Paco de Lucía was de GOAT of guitar players, and its not me who says that but is said for people like Hendricks, Slash, Santana o Keith Richards who consider themselves just rookies in comparison with Paco. Such a stunning technique and speed has charmed people for decades all over the world, playing his signature style. As humble man as great icon, we lost him a few years ago and was a musical tragedy, not only for Spain, but also for the entire musical world. Rest In Peace and Glory, our Lord of the Strings.

Paco de Lucia, influenced the guitarists of Heavy Metal. It was so clean and fast, it really is always considered No. 1 in the world with this incredible clarity in the notes at such speed...

Guitarist extraordinaire Tommy Emmanuel once said Paco was the best, that’s good enough for me ✨

Thank you for choosing Paco de Lucía to react in your channel. Here in Spain we know very well tvat He was the Biggest! Regards from the Mediterranean Sea

La gente decía que "tenía duende" (tener duende= referirse a aquellas personas que tienen algo especial), y el decía que eso era 8h de ensayo al día.

If you want to see an interesting guitar battle, check out “Friday night in San Francisco”, a kind of jam session concert with Paco de Lucia, John McLaughlin and Al DiMeola.

When you said it's like breathing for Paco, flamenco was speaking a language. It was a language he grew up with. At first he used his talent to put food on the family table then he nurtured his talent to fill his soul ; this was the hardest part for him to master.

Amongst many other, Rolling Stones Keith Richards once said: " There are only two or three guitar players that can be considered legends, and on top of them all, is Paco de Lucia"

Cant even imagine your face when u listen to Yamandu Costa. Amaaaaazing live and young clasic guitar player. You will thanks to him. Cheers. By the way, Paco with McLaughlin and Di Meola will bang your mind.

Para mí, ésta pieza, "entre dos aguas" es una experiencia mística y un recuerdo imborrable Cuando salió al mercado, fue un boom. Yo llevaba toda la mañana escuchando una y otra vez, emocionada al máximo con esta interpretación y con Paco, ese ser de manos increíbles Y yo no lo sabía, pero a esas horas que yo me empapaba disfrutando este prodigio de composición, mi hermano estaba luchando entre la vida y la muerte y no me enteraría hasta que nos localizaron cuando ya mi hermano estaba muerto Nunca conocí a Paco de Lucía, pero siempre lo sentí como una persona querida muy cercana a mi Y también sentí su muerte y recordé a mi hermano otra vez, como aquel día

Me emocionaron tus palabras y no se porque pero un presentimiento y si no te ofende la pregunta, de que murio o que le paso a tu hermano?

El embrujo de nuestro Paco, eterno maestro, el mejor de la historia ❤ para los Españoles es muy bonito ver como la música de Paco y su arte, impactan en otras culturas. Gracias. The spell of our Paco, eternal maestro, the best in history ❤ for the Spanish it is very nice to see how Paco's music and his art impact other cultures. Thank you.

As a Spaniard I can only express how proud I am that Paco existed and that he gave us his beautiful music. "Entre dos Aguas" is one of his best-known songs, but if you want to feel like your head explodes, listen to the song "Almoraima", for example. Or the '88 concert on Polish TV, which is on KZread with decent quality. There is much to see and hear from him, his legacy is eternal. The best guitarist in history without a doubt.

Man your reactions feels so genuine and natural...joy to watch a notice new aspects thanks to you... and as to Paco, he must have signed some kind of contract with higher good or evil

AMAZING Paco de Lucia THE BEST

Flamenco guitarists in general, not just Paco de Lucia, have insane speed because of this: There are two major muscle groups in the hands: flexors and extensors. Flexors pull the fingers inward, while extensors push the fingers outward. Speed in playing is primarily determined by how fast the fingers extend, rather than flex. Flamenco guitarists spend years developing their rasgueado technique (the percussive strumming technique), which rigorously trains the extensors, and they develop blinding speed.

im a metalhead all time fan of Slayer megadeth symphonyX etc acciddently listened to him and his brother Ramon de algeciras and since i fell inlove with flamenco and everything with andalusian soul he played in Carthage Tunisia around 2014 few years before the humanity lost the best guitarist in history i was sitting like 20m from the stage he was unhuman

You are dealing with maybe the best guitar player of all times.

I kick myself for not going to his last tour w a stop in South Carolina. Be sure to get the Night in San Francisco with him Al DiMeola and John McLaughlin. Phenomenal extatic free form

My mum used to see him with his friends enjoying the 70s at the beach here in Algeciras, south of Spain where we are from. My dad was in the 80s in his parent's house cause they had friends in common. We miss him he was majestic, from another World. I assisted in the public death ceremony when he passed away, there were many famous people from the music industry that day. He was a very good friend of Alejandro Sanz, who grew up in Madrid but his parents are from Algeciras, my mum also saw Alejandro's father playing songs with a little local band during the 70's. It seems our land was full of talent during those years. Entre dos aguas (between two waters) is a tribute to our land, a small part of the Mediterranean Sea which is the shortest in West Europe and 30 min from Africa. A sea shared by Morocco and Spain. Thanks for making this video keeping his legacy alive. Guys, I recommend you "Tico tico" song, he was so young during that time.

In an interview, Paco tells that since he was little he didn't want to go to school, he just wanted to play guitar, so his father taught him, practising more than,10 hours a day. He never went to school, but he was very cultivated and knowledgeable man, apart for being the best guitar player of all time according to Keith Richards

Yes. This was El Maestro Paco.. The GOAT.. Above SRV and Clapton.. by FAR

As Paco once said, his father did not have money to send him to study and that is why his older brother, Ramon from Algeciras, taught him to play the guitar, although he never learned music; It is said that when Eric Clapton heard it he said something like he just realized that he didn't know anything about guitar. You have to react to his crossovers with jazz greats like Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, Larry Coryell or Chick Corea, for whom he composed his song "Chiquito." kzread.info/dash/bejne/jGyFmtioopbeoKw.htmlsi=RwEX1kRaPlFbPumH

I've seen many of the flamenco greats: guitarists, dancers and singers. My greatest regret is that I didn't see him the last time he came to Brazil. He died shortly after. A legend. Una leyenda. RIP. DEP.

The most impressive thing is that "Entre dos aguas" is an improvised song to fill an album. In fact, if you listen this song in other videos on KZread you will see that no two are the same. After that song he dedicated himself to improvising with other guitarists... including American. I watched he in direct in Alhambra... Is magical. Any monitor speakers can't reply that music and that acoustics.

Paco de Lucia, Al Dimeola, and John Mclaughlin together was the BEST.

Paco is incredible👏👏👏🤩

I saw many reactions but yours is so genuine and admirative. I love you man ! And Paco de Lucia is such an immense musician. I so agree with you

Paco de Lucía is one of our great treasures in Spain and the King of classic guitar, even Keith Richards said once that he admires like nobody else

He is improvising. That's why he is even better than people think. Mark Knopfler from the Dire Straits said "I thought I can play the guitar well until I saw Paco de Lucia playing" There is no other guitarist even close.

Didn’t Keith Richard’s say something similar? Something like- “you call me a great guitarist. I’m not a great guitarist. There are maybe 3 or 4 people in the world you can really say that about. And then there’s Paco de Lucia”?

yes he did, and many others like Slash, Kerry king and many many others said that there is no other guitar player like Paco de Lucia. @@tomfabozzi5353

Paco was reborn in the Polish guitarist Marcin - look: Marcin - Carmen Habanera on One Guitar

the bongo player is probably one of the best worldwide, and you dont even hear him, thats how good Paco was

Its wonderful to see you guys flippin with Paco, my land have some really good musicians indeed, some of them are history already. Such good taste man! Greetings from Sevilla, Spain. Viva el flamenco!

Hola. Me ha divertido tu reacción. Me gustaría que vieras, escucharas y reaccionarias a "Fandango/minera live" de Paco de Lucía. Espero con entusiasmo esta nueva reacción a este gran guitarrista. Un saludo.

Paco De Lucia, John McLaughlin, Al Di Meola, passion grace and fire, that’s the one ☝️

Excelente reacción, una de las mejores. Gracias, muchas gracias. Me habéis hecho sentir lo mismo que vosotros sentíais.

You have to keep in mind that this man learned to play alone without school or music theory, no one imposed limits on him, he learned by playing without rules or measures, sometimes the rules limit the human being, it is pure instinct playing, especially in those years, he developed a technique personal and unmatched over the years, an example to follow.

My friend, you *_MUST_* check out 'The Guitar Trio' ; Paco De Lucia Al Di Meola John McLaughlin I witnessed their grandeur in concert around 1980. Simply the 3 guitarists on stage, by themselves. It was THE. BEST. CONCERT. EVER !!!!! It was from their 'Fridat Night in San Francisco' album, but there was at least one other album since that time that I am aware of. I might recommend the duo with Paco De Lucia and AL Di Meola playing ' Mediterranean Sundance'. A new subscriber...

I know him since about 35 years. In these times I also liked to hear gipsy kings and Ottmar Liebert, who also plays Flamengo.

Nice you were a fan of FLAMENCO...

Paco de Lucía is a suèr star for us in Spain. He did not know how to read music or anything he learned playing from his father and in the "hood" and then working on Falmenco Tablamos. He rose like a star ad played with Camaron de la Isla, If you haven't heard Camarón, that is the true hear of flamenco. Paco always makes me feel magic really exists as he weaves his music as a spell of nature. Beauty and art together through sound.

He's our pride and joy in Spain, he really is. I wish he was more recognized internationally, although I'm pretty sure that professional guitarists have at least heard of him. There's a metro station in Madrid named after him, of the newest stations, and that made me very happy

Wow, this was fun. Paco found himself out of key a couple of times, yet his controlled orderly mayhem is what I look for in a guitarist. Paco's skill, his stamina and dexterity are off the charts. Nice. Cheers!

Mediterranean Sundance by Al Dimeola, Paco de Lucia and John McLaughlin in California is also worth a look. It’s like this performance but with 2 other guitarists that are just as good. 3 tenors if you will, but better…

Eric Clapton estuvo en una gira en Barcelona y en un tiempo libre fue a un concierto de Paco Dé Lucía, y cuando salió el dijo que después de verlo, no sabía nada de guitarra

I know a story that few know. But it's curious. It turns out that Paco always traveled and did concerts. Well, in Peru, which is a multicultural, indigenous, Spanish, African, European in general, Japanese and Chinese country. It has an incredible musical variety, as good as its gastronomy. Paco played where the Creole singer-songwriter Chabuca Granda was accompanied by a musician who played the cajon. The lady of Creole music performed "La flor de la canela" alongside Caitro Soto, one of the greatest cajoneros in our history, and Paco de Lucía was fascinated with the instrument that the Peruvian played. At the end of the party, Paco played with Caitro Soto and realized that this instrument was what flamenco was missing, which until that date had been performed either with claps or bongos and congas. It was more of a joke than anything else. In the end they gave him a box, the best one he had. and that's how Paco brought this Peruvian instrument to Spain and made it part of flamenco.

I'm Spanish and I had no idea of the cajón's origin! I've always thought that it was Spanish by how embedded it was in flamenco music. Now I know. Thank you for sharing!
