Mylkinut Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Always had a soft spot for Carmen. Flamenco-influenced 70s rock with Jethro Tull's John Glascock on bass. What's not to like? [media]http://youtu.be/rxCGT8l0Rao[/media] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he's playing with a cajon, I think a lot of people don't realise that solo flamenco guitar is still normally very solid with the compas. I used to think it was a bit random when I was young, I bet most people do. I start lessons with Ramon Ruiz in a few weeks, can't wait. I need focus and time management with practice at the moment, with wifey being ill. It will give me some discipline, in all areas of my life I hope.

Shaggy Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Flamenco has been a passion of mine since I was a kid, mainly as my Dad was an enthusiastic player. I've inherited his guitar since he stopped playing - a 1960's Manuel Contreras, which is way too good for my limited abilty. Having said which, one of the great things about the genre is that a simple piece can sound just as thrilling as a virtuoso piece; and much of the skills transpose well to bass - rhythm and "feel" are paramount; the right hand technique is incredibly physical, but totally fluid when you see an expert play. I've seen a few of the greats - Paco Pena is one of the best known of course - but to me the absolute master of flamenco was actually a Brit; Phillip John Lee, who unfortunately passed away a couple of years ago. Utterly sublime playing....I don't know how to post clips, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrenleepoole Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 An interesting thread with some great music. Not sure if some of it is all strictly flamenco mind. I say that because I got my head bitten off by someone once when I described a piece of music as being flamenco, when in fact it strictly wasn't. It just had that flamenco 'sound' which I'm guessing many of the examples here fall into that category, and many people associate with flamenco. True flamenco, if I understand it correctly, and I think I don't, is as much about attitude and an event, as it is a very technical musical tradition to master. It's very hard to describe in words is what I think I'm trying to say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Thread revival as I have just discovered the quite wonderful 1988 album 'Tauromagia' by Manolo Sanlucar (featuring a very young Vicente Amigo). Cited by some as possibly the finest ever flamenco album, its utterly stunning.
