What a great sounding steel string, why don't they get known more for this? Sounds better than lots of steel strings I've heard (even premium & boutique makers)
This guitar sings like a nightingale! What a gorgeous sound and projection! Ramirez, you made a fantastic acoustic guitar, more people should hear about it.
Me. Just, kidding... kinda. Honestly, this is very atmospheric and soothing, but, it's essentially background music for a transition scene in a movie. Also, I have an innate aversion to, "feel face" and dorky stage names.
@Konstantin Ridaya Nothing wrong with "film" music, per se. But, most often, this kind of music is deliberately NOT intended to be the focus of the audience's attention. Its purpose is to provide support and reinforcement for what is happening visually or verbally. When presented out of context, it often seems dull and boring. It was true in Bach's day (see Cantatas), and it's true today. As for dorky stage names... they're... dorky.
Desert Rat, knock it off. Don’t philosophise about music if you can’t say what the video is about; this is about an instrument that is so well made that makes notes so well separated and yet so fully defined, even at fast paced playing, that makes the 6 string sound like a 12 string guitar, or at least sound like two guitars, not one. There is so much sound information there, but you have too much ear wax to hear anything but noise in your own head.
Interesting comments. This is the style that we learned in the 60s, listening to performers in folk clubs and listening to records over and over again until we knew the pieces. As for not being classical music...first flamenco is not classical, but there is flamenco around here usually. Second, although this is not a classical guitar, it is a fine instrument made by a maker known chiefly for concert and flamenco guitars and whose work merits respect. In addition, the owner of this site holds these instruments in esteem. Third, although this music sounds like folk/popular music of the last forty years, it is clearly the style that influenced numerous composers and players currently writing and performing, a style of open tunings and open drones, cross-string scales, almost endlessly repeated motifs, and limited harmonic motion. And not just guitar music, but much contemporary choral and instrumental concert music. If that music belongs in concert music halls and concert recording/performing sites, then Twanguero's performance of "El Camino" belongs here.
This is like some early Delta Blues, like Big Bill Broonzy and Blind Blake. They also have Spanish stylings in the arrangements. Nice to hear a Jose Ramirez guitar, Manitas de Platas' no less, obviously his being a flamenco version.
Why keep just for classical guitar? The channel is called Guitar Salon International not Classical Guitar Salon International. Aren't they allowed to have, show and sell flamenco and acoustic guitars too?

Best steel guitar I ever heard and I have heard my share. Balanced, clear, one of a kind. Man, Ramirez was really something.
Watched it twice today and I'll be back tomorrow to watch it again. Incredible playing on an outstanding steel string.
Who can dislike such a great play?
Me.

So good, I can't stop listening to this!

A Ramirez acoustic! Who'd of thought!? Sounds absolutely gorgeous!! Oh, and really nice playing, Diego.

Kiitos
Words fail me .
Too much pure playing
Finally, some good music on this channel.
??...what are you saying?...
Jäbä painaa nyt tunteesen
But please...keep this channel just for classical guitar...no acoustic
I agree they should stay classical but nothing wrong with something different occasionally
Why keep just for classical guitar? The channel is called Guitar Salon International not Classical Guitar Salon International. Aren't they allowed to have, show and sell flamenco and acoustic guitars too?
I couldn’t disagree more. I really enjoyed this video and would like to see more great musicians no what matter what type of strings they play.
Oh people please, I respect this guitarist..he's great and his music is amazing..but actually I used to see only classical guitarists here 🤗
Billy Marking Moin This is classic as John Wayne or Charles Bronson.
Meh
This is awesome play... Such consistent technique is so hard to master.
