Flamenco's backbone is right hand technique, without right hand flamenco technique its just classical spanish guitar, Hes not doing any real right hand technique so yeah its not really flamenco at all but hes not trying to do it for real hes just experimenting so whatever
Gilbert does have an abnormally long pinkie, but even still the speed and accuracy of those wide, one-string intervals never cease to amaze me. It may be a prerequisite for shredders to pull those off, but no one seems to do it as effortlessly as he does. Even Kotzen can't do them as well, which isn't meant to be an over-comparison between the two, but they are both fond of those wide intervals: more so than Satch or, especially, Vai, for instance.
It's somewhat similar to a Rumba (a style/form of Flamenco), but it's not Flamenco (modern or otherwise). The average listener prefers the watered down stuff like this compared to real Flamenco. The problem is that Hollywood and people unfamiliar with Flamenco have really confused the situation.
MR BIG vocalist Eric Martin is coming 'Down Under' for his first Australian tour. Eric will be performing all the MR BIG hits as well as songs from his solo career and Japanese supergroup TMG.
Eric will be supported by Aussie rockers 'Storm Front' and will be doing autograph signings after every show.

tecnicamente o cara é incrível... e foi feliz e até simpático em dizer que nao sabe tocar mesmo flamenco por isso chaou a musica de flamingo. Muita tecnica, muito estilo, mas pouco flamenco.
'crazaynmbr' whatever wtf is he on about?? hahhahaha its callen flamenco guitar not flamingo....its a JOKE!!! hahahahah and he's hardly bitching now is he you pricklicker?? he's CLEARLY cocking around hahhaha what a DICK
dude what is wrong with u, all u bitches are like crying your eyes out cause u cant play some shit, dont name a song "flamingo" if it aint, god wtf is wrong with u, ure all like "I CANT PLAY FLAMINGO SO I WILL NAME MY SONG IT HEHEHHEHEHEHEH!!!" jeez wtf man, just go learn some fucking flamingo, ure a amazing guitar player, just learn to stop bitching...
You don't learn Flamingo - that's a play on words you know this, correct? I'm sure you do. The reason he says he can't play it is just to appease all the hard ass Flamenco players feel that you have to study only that style and do everything a certain way.
you know what i noticed THIS MAN NEVER AGES!

This is not flamenco in the slightest, Paul Gilbert knows this. Watch Paco de lucia and you will see a SLIGHT difference (lol)
