I met Al Di Meola, Paco De Lucia, and John McLaughlin by accident. One evening in Dallas--must've been back in the 80s--a friend of mine, classical guitarist Chris Carrington was playing at a small restaurant (Jennyvine's) and there they were at a back table listening. No one else recognized them but Chris and me. We sat and talked to them for a good while--thought Paco didn't speak much English. It remains one of the amazing moments of my life.
I know all 4 of them. I lived in Dallas for about 8 years. Know Chris too. Visited his shop and checked out a few guitars and heard him play too. He played with Al Di Meola in many concerts.
Maravillosa experiencia. Yo he ido a sus conciertos cuando vino a Lima. Lo he seguido desde que lo escuché en 1976, nunca había visto tocar la guitarra de ese modo. Velocidad y precisión. He conversado con su hermano Pepe a la puerta del Teatro Municipal de Lima en el intermedio del show. Ellos salieron a refrescarse , era una noche de mucho calor. A Paco sólo lo salude al pasar cuando llegaba al teatro.
Mein geliebter Paco, mein geliebter Al, Ich habe Euch gebraucht wie die Luft zum Atmen! Ihr habt mir die Erholungsphasen verschafft, in denen ich mich unzählige Male, immer und immer wieder, SAMMELN konnte! JA, in Deiner kristallschönen Strenge und Virtuosität, Paco, und in Deiner verletzlichen Art und Deinen tiefen, tiefen Gefühlen, Al, konnte ich AUFTANKEN!
This is, without a doubt, one of the greatest musical performances I've ever watched. Just two masters of their craft having a conversation through music.
Soy melómano confeso, he escuchado cientos de guitarristas y puedo asegurar que cientos de años tendrán que pasar hasta que vuelva a nacer otro Paco De Lucía. Descansa en paz Maestro de la guitarra española. Lástima los 827 sordos y pusilánimes que han dado pulgar para abajo, no tienen ni puta idea.
@@francisgarry5066 Y tu sabes mas que paco de lucía? hombre no jodas que no ha existido sobre la faz de la tierra alguien mas sublime tocando un instrumento que este señor y vienes tú a querertelas dar de sabiondo
Un être avec untel talent, ne peut pas réellement mourir, car une part non négligeable et magnifique demeurera de lui...le souvenir si "présent" que l'on en aura toujours. Sa musique n'est pas son linseul, elle est en fait son avenir.
Tuve la dicha de ver al maestro Paco de Lucia en Acapulco, en un restaurante, no sabía que el tenía una casa cerca de allí, cuando le ví le suplique por qué me dejara invitarle el desayuno, el rechazo mi oferta, y con toda humildad me dijo que sería el quien invitaría a mi y a mi familia, sin duda es una persona extraordinaria, su música es de otro mundo. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
for sure, alchemy is not magic, it's all about observation and negociation ... and lots of talents. I will never reach this level, but very inspiring to me.
Esas miradas, esa compenetración perfecta... No hablan pero se comunican y expresan los sentimientos a través de sus guitarras. Bravo a ambos. Descansa en paz querido Paco, maestro de maestros.
encontré errores y el sonido no es bueno Paco es mucho más que esto, Álbumes como Zyryab o Siroco o Fuente y caudal son verdaderas obras de todos los tiempos
There were so many brilliant aspects to Pacos playing so many. One of them is they way he rips through the scales with a robust sound and intensity I've never heard elsewhere. What an incredible Man. We all miss him dearly.
These guys all knew it too. J. Mac and Al Didi both said in interviews that, basically "Paco WON this battle every time." Yes they're all cosmic, it's all about the music etc., yes they get along fine - but I'm a-still gonna smoke yer tits if I can.
I ran into Al di Meola a couple years ago at an airport in New York City. He was just standing in the security line like everyone else. Nobody seemed to recognize him at all. But I knew who he was so I gave him a little nod and a smile. He grinned. Once inside the terminal I again saw him again browsing magazines by himself. It was definitely strange to see a musician of his stature just hanging around unbothered at all, totally anonymous, no celebrity fuss whatsoever. But on stage, he's like a legend. As a casual guitarist I am a bit familiar with his music, and definitely his work with the trio, more so back in the 90s. But I definitely know his status. I couldn't think of anything worthwhile to say to him, so I didn't bother. It was a brief encounter, but still kind of cool.
I would have had to shake his hand and give thanks. That was a once in a lifetime opportunity. But I would have been restrained and not raise a fuss. Amazing story....
The way the look at each other in both telepathic and mutual love and admiration is breathtaking. The recent interview Rick Beato did with Al brought out, once again, the admiration and love Al had for Paco as a musician. So fortunate to be able to capture this magic.
Their playing was deeper than call and response. It was music talking to music, a musical conversation delivered to the universe by two masters of the highest order, and captured for us to all bear witness to.
I saw the trio of DiMeola, McLaughlin, and DeLucia with special guest Steve Morse at the Tower Theater back in the early 80's. They played Fantasia Suite to close, and Morse gave up about halfway through and just sat back and enjoyed the show along with the rest of us. I'll never forget it.
Me quito el sombrero, no por Paco, que es Dios..... si no por Di Meola, atreverse a tocar junto a un Monstruo como De Lucía y además hacerlo de forma increible. Bravo! Yo hubiese salido corriendo antes de empezar... . xDDD
Y en su biografía Paco Contó que era él quien se sentía algo nervioso de tocar junto a Meola, pues Meola era un monstruo con formación teórica en jazz, algo que Paco no. El hecho es que ambos se tuvieron mucho respeto.
In 1980 I discovered them..but I was too immature to look past all the fast riffs and see the essence of their connection and rhythm etc. To see this video of that all these years later brings great joy! Absolute legends.
I have the utmost respect for the guitar skills of Al Di Meola. Paco is my favorite and I think he will always be! I don't care what other players can do. Paco de Lucia touches my heart when I hear that apparently humble man "Master" the guitar!
After his show in a small club in tulsa , Mr. di Meola & myself talked for a while. He is a very nice man and had no problem sitting down with a fan and just talking. I will always look at Mr. Di Meola as one of just a very few of the worlds best at his craft ( Mr. De Lucia also ). He gave me a moment without me asking and I will forever hold that ARTIST as giant among men. May the Gods always protect him & his loved ones. Thank you, Mr. De Meola
Dos toros challenging each other, but still same way, supporting and encouracing each other. Like a battle supporting and pushing your friend to do more.... amazing! Communications with these two legends are awesome, that's why they are legends. Humble for music, and focusing what they do, focus music, focus the situation and friend next to you. WOW! Im, speecless. Incredible!
How I love the magic of the original. But how I love the relaxed maturity of this. 1985 concert in Hammersmith UK was Godly...xxxxxxxxx R.I.P. Paco. You made life so wondrous for me as me as a guitar tryer !!! XXX
Que grande Paco, me siento orgulloso de ser Español, es increíble lo que siento cada vez que suena esa guitarra. Gracias inmensas por el legado que nos has dejado.
Einfach herrlich wie die beiden sich nur mit den Augen verstehen... die schnellen Fingerbewegungen auf Guitarre und die Musik spricht für sie... Super!!👏👏🎶✨️🎵✨️
Cada vez que escucho la guitarra de Paco de Lucía en esta canción y sus picados,....se me ponen los pelos de punta....nunca me cansaré de escucharlos.....
Wish that I could’ve seen this show. These two guys watching and supporting each other with wordless communication and challenging each other to go just a little farther. Amazing to see. So glad for TH-cam having these moments on video.
Dos maestros, dos gigantes, dos virtuosos. Paco verdaderamente disfrutaba tocar con Al, y para Al, que privilegio tenerlo de amigo y tocar a su lado...
tengo 20 años, vi una presentacion de tomatillo en gto cuando tenia 15 años y una tia me ilustro acerca de Paco de Lucia y yo les juro que se me pone la piel chinita, observo a estos maestros y se me salen las lagrimas de lo bello que es este video.
Does anyone else realize how they communicate with their eyes all the time? Its like they were so used to play with each other and also play so well that they kind of just improvise.
They have played a lot together over more than a decade. Paco came to the us and made music here, met with Aldi and many others. They played, and toured together. What you see as improv is actually something called " play". It's a phenomenon with professional musicians where one goes after another in a kind of " random" guitar streak but they still need to be in tune with the music. So they can't wonder off from flamenco to jazz you see. This requires immense knowledge on sounds, chords, speed, timing and knowledge on the guitar. It's nothing short of amazing.
Viendo algunos videos de Don Paco de Lucía , me percato de como el trataba de contagiar el compás a sus acompañantes ya sea a una segunda guitarra, cajon, etc era como un trance musical en el que todos se sumaban a la misma melodía, simplemente insuperable.
If it were necessary to say who is the god of the Spanish and classical guitar without a doubt it is PACO DE LUCIA, rest in peace, teacher and example to follow, in heaven they are enjoying good music and free.
Paco de Lucia's right hand technique is incredible. A wonderful duet. Two of the same type of guys, having fun and challenging each other. Thanks for uploading.
Paco de Lucia's legacy and his handing over the torch of Spanish classic guitar feel and soul to modern world madness of high pick precision and determination. RIP
I don't see him handing over anything - He has his lofty picado standard with his independent thumb (for bass answers), that a pick player can't quite match, though DiMeola is close when playing on adjacent strings.
Amazing these guys jamming after over 40 years since they first play this song. I have 70's album with this and play it all the time. Great guitar tune.
This is meeting of the spirits, just as what the record label said. Both are top of their food chain, loved and admired by their colleagues. I love Flamenco and so Paco will always on top of my list. Drove 5 hrs once to watch Paco in Dallas years back when he was in his mid 50s. I was saddened by the news when I heard he passed away. But it was peaceful. May you Rest In Peace Maestro’ Siempre lo mejor!
JeanPaul Logiotatos That’s cool man :) The name is from a Belgian Cartoon called Lucky Luke, in which Lucky Luke is the main character, and he’s a lonesome cowboy lol. I grew up in Vietnam way back. There were some comic books remained even after the communist regime taken over in 1975. I used to read them when I was a kid, could barely remember anything but the name doesn’t fade. All the kids loved Lucky Luke. I was no exception. The good ol’e days....
Dois gênios da guitarra. RIP, Paco. Sinto SAUDADE de sua figura a iluminar a música. Seu violão é único, inesquecível. Mas sua Arte é imortal.Vida Longa, Al di Meola, outro grande músico, versátil, bom em todos os gêneros musicais; assim como Paco era. Obrigado pela postagem, é uma grande performance.
These guys stared into each other's eyes as much as they did at their fretboard throughout the whole 9 minute piece and they still played it with precision beyond that of almost any other classical/flamenco guitarist to date. I wish Paco could still be here to share his greatness with the world.
The really cool ting is, at this level, it's not about perfection but being able to witness the intertwining of gifting and spirits and having your brainwaves move in sympathy with sound.
Me queda claro que casi nadie estaba poniendo atención a sus propios oídos antes de comentar. De mi parte, doy gracias por este fantástico documento del arte de la guitarra.
Es increíble como Paco de Lucía, habiendo aprendido armonía y teoría musical muy tarde, literalmente "se come" a los grandes maestros del jazz, que llevan décadas estudiando en profundidad la teoría musical. Técnicamente sólo están a su altura otros grandes del flamenco. Paco, es un genio natural, y como él, sólo nace uno cada 1000 años aproximadamente :)
Totalmente de acuerdo con tu acertado comentario, si otros fueron contemporáneos de Mozart, nosotros lo somos de Paco de Lucía. Era un autodidacta. Saludos cordiales SUGUS320.

Paco de Lucia .... If someone asked me about the art of flamenco, I would definitely tell him that the Paco de Lucia guitar and its music are what you are looking for🌍
I saw both legendary guitarists in concert in 1981. What a memorable night it was..thank you for sharing. Paco really shined when he played by himself. May he rest in peace!
Anything good that one says about this performance is bound to be a huge understatement. Words cannot express the greatness. One can only listen in awesome silence.
Un saludo desde Chile a todos esos Pacos de la música ,grande Paco donde Kiera k estés,siempre te admire desde niño y por ti aprendí la música y no solo tocarla sino sentirla.
Hola, Marcelo. Felicitaciones. Justamente iba a dar un comentario por la ausencia de los chilenos, mientras todos los países del mundo están aquí representados por sus habitantes dando comentarios sentidos y sinceros para el más Grande Guitarrista de todos los tiempos, junto a uno que sin duda está entre los cinco mejores. Mucha razón tienes, Marcelo, para ser interprete de alguna de las artes, como la música o la poesía, de la que yo soy cultor, no solo hay que tocarla o escribirla, si no hay que sentirla, para que suene como dios nunca podrá sonar ni tocar el corazón de nadie, como logra las artes en sus diferentes expresiones. Mis respetos mis saludos y un abrazo por cruzar nuestros caminos una vez en esta vida gracias al más Grande interprete y compositor del flamenco...el Genio...Paco de Lucía junto a un Maestro...Al Di Meola...
Two maestro's of the chordophone = a consummate performance, par excellence! Just love the synergy between Al and Paco. And Al Di remains one of my all-time favourite guitar mentors.
I am crying! Magnificent. Heard this many years ago. These masters are the reason for my never dying love of guitar music as a voice every bit as powerful as any overvalued operasinger. The voice of music, soul and dedication.
I went to an Al Di Meola guitar workshop soon after the San Francisco recording came out. He was showing us how he was playing the fast runs/riffs. Al laughed when he shared that he had to keep up with Paco because Paco essentially had 5 picks on his right hand and Al only had one. Also impressed by how Paco gets to the end of the fretboard without a cutaway. Both are just exceptional players.
Игра медиатором априори быстрее ,чем игра пальцами ..а Эл так и не смог догнать невероятного Пако! У которого каждый звук чёткий,словно хрусталь! Пако гений! Эл Ди меола прекрасный гитарист!! Шикарный дуэт в котором Эл Ди меола понимал,что он на подыгрышах великого Пако! Такая удача для него...
Beautiful. Always one phrase ahead. Don't know how else to describe it. Such beautiful music that catches out your ears. Always ahead of the game. Beautiful and genius. I keep coming back to this video as it captivates me so much. Put simply. This makes me happy. This makes me smile. Music is love. Thank you Al Di Meola and thank you Paco de Lucia. In music you both live and your music will always live on.x
Es increíble la maestría y el virtuosismo de estos 2 guitarristas!!!! Puedo escucharlos por horas y horas sin cansarme!!! Un verdadero deleite para los oídos!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Utterly mesmerizing: two distinct styles played by two of the Jedi masters of their craft. The only limitation Paco and Al face is that of their own exquisite imaginations.
Gigante e inolvidable Paco.... Grande Al di Meola. Monstruos de la guitarra y la ejecución musical... Que agrado escucharlos. Algo tenía el maestro que lo hace indescriptible. Humildad, no se.m, algo extra como persona, aparte de su tremendo talento.
When I was 11 or 12 my grandfather gave me some dusty old flamenco lessons that were printed ages ago and on yellowed paper and were wrinkled but still in tact. I also got cassettes and old VHS with a lesson or two. I didn’t have a guitar for another year or so, but the anticipation to play because of this and because of listening to his old cassette tapes that I had an immense passion for learning the instrument and for Flamenco and Classical guitar. It’s too bad I got into Nirvana and Punk rock a year later and it completely destroyed that sense of virtuosity that I was so fond of early on. I turned onto another Punk and talked trash about virtuosic guitar playing. Now much older I go back to these videos and wish to relive that moment early on that got me started in the first place, and I try to learn like I was supposed to. Thank you Paco.

Такого великолепия уже давно нет, вот они лучшие из лучших! Привет из России !
Gênios
Bueno vosotros tenéis a цой.
Un abrazo.
Hermosas interpretaciones ..!!! Música que no escucho desde ya años porque la buscaba y sin dar, me llegó por este medio.
Paco, el máximo maestro del flamenco. Definitivamente te extrañamos. Tu música es ya un legado y tu presencia se queda en nuestros corazones.
There will never be another like Paco. Sure miss him.
This is so good..Love this....
互いにスタイルの違う奏法であっても
ここまでお互いの音を瞬時に合わせる
技術の高さはものすごいものと思います。
いつ聴いても鳥肌が立ちますわ😂
Japón a full
Paco de Lucia's right hand technique is incredible. A wonderful duet. Two of the same type of guys, having fun and challenging each other. Thanks for uploading.
It is truly unbelievable. He does with two fingers what most of us cannot even do with a pick.
What a great feeling to see these guys playing together. And I think they enjoy it even more than us!
Magistral pieza musical, dos Genios regalando arpegios de Paz. Dedicado a los señores que viven de las guerras.
Solo de escuchar esta increible interpretacion de guitarras me lleva fuera de este planeta es como estar en otra dimensión
Paco de Lucia's legacy and his handing over the torch of Spanish classic guitar feel and soul to modern world madness of high pick precision and determination. RIP
no te flipes payaso
I don't see him handing over anything - He has his lofty picado standard with his independent thumb (for bass answers), that a pick player can't quite match, though DiMeola is close when playing on adjacent strings.
I as well don’t see him handing over anything. Nobody can ever match his stile nor technique or sense for improvisation
Amazing these guys jamming after over 40 years since they first play this song. I have 70's album with this and play it all the time. Great guitar tune.
hoy tuve la dicha de empezar mi día viendo esta interpretación. Hermoso!!!
Paco de Lucía es el maestro de todos los maestros! Bravo!
This is meeting of the spirits, just as what the record label said. Both are top of their food chain, loved and admired by their colleagues. I love Flamenco and so Paco will always on top of my list. Drove 5 hrs once to watch Paco in Dallas years back when he was in his mid 50s. I was saddened by the news when I heard he passed away. But it was peaceful.
May you Rest In Peace Maestro’
Siempre lo mejor!
Lucky Luke are you who i think you are? JP

That’s cool. I have a mate in Los Angeles who goes by Lucky Luke. ✌️
JeanPaul Logiotatos
That’s cool man :)
The name is from a Belgian Cartoon called Lucky Luke, in which Lucky Luke is the main character, and he’s a lonesome cowboy lol. I grew up in Vietnam way back. There were some comic books remained even after the communist regime taken over in 1975. I used to read them when I was a kid, could barely remember anything but the name doesn’t fade. All the kids loved Lucky Luke. I was no exception. The good ol’e days....

Yea, same venue for me but in Dallas.
Dois gênios da guitarra. RIP, Paco. Sinto SAUDADE de sua figura a iluminar a música. Seu violão é único, inesquecível. Mas sua Arte é imortal.Vida Longa, Al di Meola, outro grande músico, versátil, bom em todos os gêneros musicais; assim como Paco era. Obrigado pela postagem, é uma grande performance.
unbeatable and a masterpiece of music forever
These guys stared into each other's eyes as much as they did at their fretboard throughout the whole 9 minute piece and they still played it with precision beyond that of almost any other classical/flamenco guitarist to date. I wish Paco could still be here to share his greatness with the world.

Sé escucha un silvidoooo PD tengo tinnitus y adoro la músicaaaa
The really cool ting is, at this level, it's not about perfection but being able to witness the intertwining of gifting and spirits and having your brainwaves move in sympathy with sound.
It's incredible how naturally Master Paco was playing. It seems playing for him on outstanding level was like piece a cake. Absolute legend.
Me queda claro que casi nadie estaba poniendo atención a sus propios oídos antes de comentar. De mi parte, doy gracias por este fantástico documento del arte de la guitarra.
WHAT A MASTERPIECE, IT TOUCHES ME DEEPLY, PACO IS THE GOD ON ACOUSTIC GUITAR, THANKS FOR SHARING, GREETINGS FROM CROATIA
Es increíble como Paco de Lucía, habiendo aprendido armonía y teoría musical muy tarde, literalmente "se come" a los grandes maestros del jazz, que llevan décadas estudiando en profundidad la teoría musical. Técnicamente sólo están a su altura otros grandes del flamenco. Paco, es un genio natural, y como él, sólo nace uno cada 1000 años aproximadamente :)
Totalmente de acuerdo con tu acertado comentario, si otros fueron contemporáneos de Mozart, nosotros lo somos de Paco de Lucía. Era un autodidacta. Saludos cordiales SUGUS320.
Francisco Javier Fernández González Saludos!
Es nacer genio, y trabajar mucho. Esa mente veía con claridad cosas que la gente normal no ve.
@@scorsese90quilo compadres es el que más rápido arpejia y le suena todo sin chhasjeos arte y no mira na su oído era lo será de esto no sale otro hay que ahora que no vive REVERECIA OLE PAQUITO MIRAD SE LO COME GRACIAS 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎤🎤
Veis quien coje esa velocidad ni un coche OLE TU BIEN
Hats off to whom ever filmed this!
Magnificent filming
Paco de Lucia .... If someone asked me about the art of flamenco, I would definitely tell him that the Paco de Lucia guitar and its music are what you are looking for🌍
Un par de prodigios que nos llevan al cielo con su guitarra flamenca. Gracias
I've listened to the original version in Elegant Gipsy maybe more than 10 000 times in 37 years, never had enough of it!
😢 RIP Paco!
I saw both legendary guitarists in concert in 1981. What a memorable night it was..thank you for sharing. Paco really shined when he played by himself. May he rest in peace!
Anything good that one says about this performance is bound to be a huge understatement. Words cannot express the greatness. One can only listen in awesome silence.
Grande como el uno
musket 0402 What you said is a huge understatement!
Un saludo desde Chile a todos esos Pacos de la música ,grande Paco donde Kiera k estés,siempre te admire desde niño y por ti aprendí la música y no solo tocarla sino sentirla.
Hola, Marcelo.
Felicitaciones. Justamente iba a dar un comentario por la ausencia de los chilenos, mientras todos los países del mundo están aquí representados por sus habitantes dando comentarios sentidos y sinceros para el más Grande Guitarrista de todos los tiempos, junto a uno que sin duda está entre los cinco mejores.
Mucha razón tienes, Marcelo, para ser interprete de alguna de las artes, como la música o la poesía, de la que yo soy cultor, no solo hay que tocarla o escribirla, si no hay que sentirla, para que suene como dios nunca podrá sonar ni tocar el corazón de nadie, como logra las artes en sus diferentes expresiones.
Mis respetos mis saludos y un abrazo por cruzar nuestros caminos una vez en esta vida gracias al más Grande interprete y compositor del flamenco...el Genio...Paco de Lucía junto a un Maestro...Al Di Meola...
hermoso la instrumentacion de ejecucion de los artistas gracias por la magia de la musica
Lo tuve que ver dos veces...no lo podía creer. Son de otro Mundo !

'A Meeting Of The Spirits' is a far better line up and performance.
Two maestro's of the chordophone = a consummate performance, par excellence!
Just love the synergy between Al and Paco.
And Al Di remains one of my all-time favourite guitar mentors.
Reminds me of the guitar trio CD with John Mclaughlin. RIP Paco you are fondly remembered not forgotten 🙏.
Un clásico que refiere este estilo, muy bien por ambos. Gracias por compartir
De Lucia was the God of Flamenco Guitar.
Great performance.🙏
I am crying! Magnificent. Heard this many years ago. These masters are the reason for my never dying love of guitar music as a voice every bit as powerful as any overvalued operasinger. The voice of music, soul and dedication.
I went to an Al Di Meola guitar workshop soon after the San Francisco recording came out. He was showing us how he was playing the fast runs/riffs. Al laughed when he shared that he had to keep up with Paco because Paco essentially had 5 picks on his right hand and Al only had one. Also impressed by how Paco gets to the end of the fretboard without a cutaway. Both are just exceptional players.
Игра медиатором априори быстрее ,чем игра пальцами ..а Эл так и не смог догнать невероятного Пако! У которого каждый звук чёткий,словно хрусталь! Пако гений! Эл Ди меола прекрасный гитарист!! Шикарный дуэт в котором Эл Ди меола понимал,что он на подыгрышах великого Пако! Такая удача для него...
Qué musica para más exquisita!... Un deleite para los oídos!
One never truly never knows how beautiful and moving music can be until they hear something like this.
Wonderfull words
Beautiful. Always one phrase ahead. Don't know how else to describe it. Such beautiful music that catches out your ears. Always ahead of the game. Beautiful and genius. I keep coming back to this video as it captivates me so much. Put simply. This makes me happy. This makes me smile. Music is love. Thank you Al Di Meola and thank you Paco de Lucia. In music you both live and your music will always live on.x
What a blessing Paco de Lucia's music is! Always thankful for it. Rest in peace, Paco 🎶
Es increíble la maestría y el virtuosismo de estos 2 guitarristas!!!! Puedo escucharlos por horas y horas sin cansarme!!! Un verdadero deleite para los oídos!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Guitarras majestuosas, un deleite para los oídos.
abrazos
Utterly mesmerizing: two distinct styles played by two of the Jedi masters of their craft. The only limitation Paco and Al face is that of their own exquisite imaginations.
No hay duda que Paco de Lucía es el mejor!! Saludos desde México!.❤
Este personaje es el Rey del flamenco y será recordado por los siglos de los siglos QEPD
Absolutely amazing. I think my heart missed a beat. WOW
Gigante e inolvidable Paco.... Grande Al di Meola. Monstruos de la guitarra y la ejecución musical... Que agrado escucharlos. Algo tenía el maestro que lo hace indescriptible. Humildad, no se.m, algo extra como persona, aparte de su tremendo talento.
When I was 11 or 12 my grandfather gave me some dusty old flamenco lessons that were printed ages ago and on yellowed paper and were wrinkled but still in tact. I also got cassettes and old VHS with a lesson or two. I didn’t have a guitar for another year or so, but the anticipation to play because of this and because of listening to his old cassette tapes that I had an immense passion for learning the instrument and for Flamenco and Classical guitar. It’s too bad I got into Nirvana and Punk rock a year later and it completely destroyed that sense of virtuosity that I was so fond of early on. I turned onto another Punk and talked trash about virtuosic guitar playing. Now much older I go back to these videos and wish to relive that moment early on that got me started in the first place, and I try to learn like I was supposed to. Thank you Paco.
This song is called Río ancho (wide river) in the flamenco original. th-cam.com/video/UVk7eUmzdXo/w-d-xo.html Nirvana and punk is also good :)
Great comment.
