Clarky Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I posted this in the Flamenco thread I started but thought it was worth re-posting here in the DB forum as this is such lovely playing, both pizz and (at the end) arco http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXt6htVi3C4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevcooke Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Renaud Garcia-Fons made me realise that I throw around the term virtuoso too loosely... I have his album 'La Linea Del Sur'. The title track is my favourite, beautiful music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I think Fons is a monster musician but I think his material is quite weak (I have 5 of his cds and have reached the point where I can't listen to them any more - they grate). I would love to hear him performing compositions that are a little less two-dimensional. His tricks and licks get a bit samey after a while. And yes it is a high C, like mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Just wow! Most amazing arco I've ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Hughes Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Sneaky bit I like is in the second tune, where he's plucking his C string with his left index finger whilst bowing a lovely repetitive pattern - adds a great new rhythm. Harrummph!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MandShef Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Wow, I've never heard bass played in this style before! Beautiful! Refreshing to see the instrument up front as a focal point, not just plonking away in the background. 5-strings as well! Loved it - thank you!
