[kumarnatasha30]

[pianetable]

hi there,

are fender passports battery powered? or are you plugged into a socket somewhere?

nice playing by the way

[smoothflamenco]

@pianetable The older version I am using in the video does have a 12v molex connector that needs to be connected to a battery via a Fender made dc inverter...the newer passport models don't....only a mains power input but you can of course rig up your own battery power unit like I have done.

[photahnics]

I can't really tell, where are you from (ethnicity) not that it matters I'm just curious lol :)

[smoothflamenco]

@photahnics I'm from Cornwall.....so I guess that makes me English ;-)

[MrASPENDENVER]

love it



[nawaf866]

wooow

[shrubs1y2]

that is so so so lovely! do you ever come south of yeovil or do us westerners have to head your way? truly glorious... i'm off to seek more

[smoothflamenco]

@shrubs1y2 I never play in Yeovil...this was a one off. I live in Cornwall, so YES I come south;-) See my website above for local shows...I am in Falmouth on the 18th of nov.

[Romulus10101]

wind made an exellent effect ))

almost a music videoclip))

[nutsocket]

excellent

[ScrubsTubs]

great song



[lucasm191]

Spain ftw

[TheTravelfool]

muy bien!!

[mlmpro1059]

Hi Al, Marc here. We spoke in Truro today. Great albums by the way. This track is one of my favourites. As for the 'little natural ability' comment above.....man, you're too modest! You really have inspired me to dust off my classical guitar but I want to emulate your styles more as I love your material. Never stop using that gift you have! Hope to see you again soon. Until then keep those fingers moving!!!!

[smoothflamenco]

@mlmpro1059 Nice to have met you too Marc and I'm glad you liked the albums. Thanks once again for the business card and offering your services.....they may well be required at some point.

[AhmedSHAFIEY]

one day i dreamed ..playing this music infront of my girl

:(

[TheTravelfool]

he's hot and he's good

[compelch]

really great hombre

[ljillbutler]

Wish you could play at my wedding.



[smoothflamenco]

@ljillbutler I would be happy to....;-)

[michaeljfaulkner]

if i could play flamenco like this, i could make a million a year playing outside the liquor stores here in oshawa ontario, listen to this guy sing that guitar :)

[villeurbanneable]

muy bien ejecutado al enhorabuena..........

[soulacsurmer]

Nice... I'm putting that on my facebook. :)

[TheTravelfool]

@soulacsurmer ditto

[danludus]

Man you're a god :). I discovered this track 3weeks ago. I listen it continuosly... Hope to get at least at half of your talent in a few years :))

Cheers, Daniel

[smoothflamenco]

@danludus thanks Dan..it's only practice...well helps to have a little natural ability;-)

[erbgolfer]

i too enjoy paco de lucia as well as oscar lopez,jesse cook,etc.,but this is superb.thanks al.

[sergeytry]

Fabulous job!!!

[dreamtolife]

Amazing!! I couldn't stop listening!!

[rebel69rebel]

Paco de Lucia is the best Spanish guitar musician...

[smoothflamenco]

@rebel69rebel he sure is ...butI I take it as a complement that you even mention him in the same breath as this performance! Thanks.

[omiblingbling]

@rebel69rebel hes version is dull and boring....smoothflamenco is moreintersting

[RadostDimitrova]

It's amazing!:)

[johnuklivecom]

Dude can play...... Nice!

[BigHrdB]

BEYOND HEAVENLY & HEART-STOPPINGLY SENSUAL and undeniably but acceptably sad. If I were there on that street, and happened upon your EXQUISITE talent with this masterpiece, I would literally float away and start dancing. SIX STARS!!!

[NightFoxes]

Is there his music yet where that, except for youtube?

[smoothflamenco]

@NightFoxes you can purchase Al's music from his web-site above or iTunes.

[lesneyvshotwheels]

Is that NewYork City?

[smoothflamenco]

@lesneyvshotwheels no, no it's England.

[chiqistar]

@smoothflamenco Yes, Truro to be precise. This looks like yet another familiar and more than welcome 'interupted shopping trip' scene in front of the cathedral.

[smoothflamenco]

@chiqistar Actually it is Yeovil not Truro;-)

[chiqistar]

@smoothflamenco ah! apologies there! looks very much like the bottom of Pydar Street but Al sounds great here all the same :-)

[smoothflamenco]

@chiqistar yes you are right it does ;-)

[shiningbluestarz]

professional .

wat else?

[spelchure]

This İS just PERFECT....!!!!!

[bouzoukidave]

Great job man i want to buy your cd's email me back to bouzoukidave@yahoo.com and let me know how i can buy them thank's:) david merino.

[smoothflamenco]

@bouzoukidave Thanks David. You can buy my c.d.'s directly my web-site that annoyingly YT won't let me post here!.....though you can of course swear you head off and utter the worst obscenities to be found on the internet and that is fine!!

Youtube are a totally irresponsible disgrace!

Just Google Al Marconi and you will find my web-site.

Cheers

Al

[smoothflamenco]

@smoothflamenco Actually the web-site address is above....just under the video.

Cheers

Al

[Carphunter1970]

Phenomenal talent! I can only dream about being able to play that well!!

[Aneurysm22]

amazing

[blitch1234]

I wish they would play in my town all we seem to get is the typical "stairway to heaven" types.

[rexor1337]

he play with plektrum??

[shovelthumbs78]

that sounded absolutely fantastic mate

[DogManakaElCid]

Really well played! I haven't played guitar in awhile and this vid made me miss it!!

[Darkbl3sss]

does anyone has guitar pro tab for this song ???

[guitarrx3girl]

Awesome AL... this was really incredible to watch.. I could listen to you play all day long.. I just truly love spanish guitar... wow.. amazing!!

[kvan123]

man so sick. i love it.

[natito79]

Yeah man... you play great , don't missunderstand me but you could easily be the next Metallica gitarrist. See yourself 1:28

[smoothflamenco]

@natito79 Well maybe that is because I started out playing thrash metal in the 80's!

[smoothflamenco]

@smoothflamenco In fact Metallica were one of my favourite bands at the time and my first ever live gig was the MOP tour at Hammersmith Odeon when Cliff Burton was still alive ;-)

[smoothflamenco]

@natito79  In fact Metallica were one of my favourite bands at the time and my first ever live gig was the MOP tour at Hammersmith Odeon when Cliff Burton was still alive ;-)

[CelticReject]

Fantastic as always. I've stood/sat and watched you play great stuff many a time in Plymouth. Hope to see you there again soon. If you have 5 mins I invite you to listen to a piece of acoustic music that I have made in Garageband recently. It's called 'Waiting for a Name' and is the 'featured video' on my YT page. I have a couple more on the page as well. See you soon. Regards, CR

[gadogado123]

Beautiful! 

[ardalante]

niccccccccccccccccccccccce ;)

[Rabbitculture]

very nice,well done Al !good sound,briliant technique,sensitive way of playing,keep on rocking!

[natito79]

strange technique he has... he thinks he's playing an electric gitarr

[smoothflamenco]

@natito79 Do I? Strange comment!

[Blacksilver113]

@natito79 Dude its called flamenco... and its not strange... its pretty damn cool, and he happens to be particularly skilled :P

[Bgharar]

where can i find a backing track for this song?did he made his own?

[smoothflamenco]

@Bgharar Yes I made my own BT. They are available for purchase........Al

[darvinfv]

Great work. What kind of Amp aer you using it sounds great?

[smoothflamenco]

Thanks. It is Fender Passport PD150.

[jamesd2004]

great stuff! this guy is one of, if not THE best flamenco & nylon player around..cant wait to see more vids!! you are a special talent indeed!!

[smoothflamenco]

When "Insomnia" is finished then I will set out on some much better High Def vids with improved sound quality....promise!

[AzizRaeesi]

nice playing smoothflamenco! but did you pre-record the backing rythm? if yes which software did you use? cos im looking to do the same with such clarity!

[smoothflamenco]

Yes I did the backing track years ago with a multi-track hard disc recorder -Tascam I think. These days I use Logic Pro on a Mac. My backing tracks are available for purchase if you are interested.

[SlivenBG]

Awesome performance! And also... I kinda see a combo of Bryan Adams and Kenneth Branagh in you, sorry, had to say that too :o)

[smoothflamenco]

Thanks.Yes, I've had the Brian Adams likeness said to me many times but never Kenneth Branagh.

[leandrovai]

Excelente amigo!!! Muy buen sonido. Saludos desde Argentina

[guitarfal87]

esa si esta bien buena chvr la tocada

[gipsymustang]

Al Marconi you play really good. I am a musician myself, i play piano. Your composition tierra nueva (if i correctly remember the name) is the best composition of Nuevo Flamenco. wish u luck my friend, and keep on making passion music.

[Aneurysm22]

SUPER!!! ITS MAKE MY DAY!! THANKS!!

[Persainlady]

Please could you tell me what kind of guitar that is....

[smoothflamenco]

It is a Yamaha CGX171SCF Electro Flamenco cutaway.

[WheedStar]

hey man, nice job! ^^

i learn now 2 weaks spanish guitar, do you got some tips?

[smoothflamenco]

PRACTICE,PRACTICE,PRACTICE!

[Bilahopes07]

the solo is great, nice guitar music,, I love spanish flamenco music...

[Truus1949]

As you know how much I love your music, this is for sure another great song, performed by you. Wonderful that Mark was also there :-)

How was your income that day? :-))

[smoothflamenco]

Thanks Truus......re. income well we are in GB! What we needed was that Florida sunshine.

[SRV463]

awesome tune!!

[BocaFriend]

This is really wonderful! I love the tune and the impromptu geography lesson. Being a typical

clueless-about-soccer Yank, I had no idea where

Yeovil might be! Now I see it's home to beloved

Vicar of Dibbley star Trevor Peacock, and can

boast of live performances of a virtuoso guitarist!

Truus was just speaking of your music to me this very day! Synchronicity in South Florida, ~Terry

[smoothflamenco]

I'm flattered. Many thanks Boca Friend!

[karimmohsenguitar]

i haven't see such a pro player like

really u r amazing

please when u have any videos of yours please send it

[smoothflamenco]

No problem, happy to. Many thanks.

[Rhythmrancher1]

very cool! YES!!!!!!!!!!!  thankyou!

[deborajr]

En la calle ? que gracioso y rayado!! buen sonido pero Mark mueve mucho la camara...los otros videos estan mas bonitos :)

[fatdanios]

Beautiful! Thank you!

[Setaiesh]

[JesseGuitar07]
