  • I never knew that Charo could play the Guitar. Over the years I've seen her many times on everything from The Tonight Show to Love Boat etc. I knew she was a singer and dancer and an actress as well but I had never known she was such a talented musician. Don't know how I missed that.

  • superb! she plays with such latin passion

  • It's not fake children. It's what she does.  Respect

  • She was a student of Segovia, one of the best guitar players who ever lived. Anybody who think she faked this is out of their minds are so use to seeing contemporaries fake everything they think everybody does it. Yes there are people out there who have talent and she is one of them

  • I'm a 35 y/o guy who grew up watching Charon on TV. I didn't know she could play guitar! I cant wait to buy her CDs. She's bad azz!

  • Charo finger-synced this one here. She seems to do it a lot.

  • Faked it? How would you even know that. Douche you probably don't even play guitar.

  • I am sorry you, and others have to get mad at me for speaking the truth. She faked it, deal with it, and leave me alone. Yes, she has great boobs, but if she was so good, she wouldn't have to fake it, she would play it, as any real musician would. So hate one for telling the truth, but truth is, was it her guitar playing that made her famous?, no, was her two only real talents, lol. So again, sorry I have the background to know what I say, she faked it, and I stand behind the truth :)

  • @ANIGHTWING she didn't fake. I've seen her play in person at a private deal with no speakers. if you're gonna claim she's faking because you can't play one of her songs then I guess you're just a shallow pitiful little man.

  • In reply to a comment sent to me by sheshiechan, who is to big of a coward, to let anybody respond back on his channel......

  • I'm a running to buy her album.I Grew up with Charo!

  • friken awesome charo!!!

  • Great stuff. You can tell she studied with Segovia since she holds her right hand perpendicular to the strings. Not many follow that technique any more. Ya, a lot of people have a hard time associating a beautiful woman with anything but mindless sex. She is a brilliant guitarist and a damn funny actress too!

  • she was ALWAYS a great player, she studied with segovia at age 10, thats ADREAS SEGOVIA not joe bagadonuts people, her career in show buisness is a study in what not to do. her ' problem' was that she was mind-meltingly hot from a ridiculously younge age, when she frist appeared on carson in the mid sixies she was 15. people assumed she was much older, at least of legal age, she wasn't . people now think shes a show girl who "dabbles in guitar' she not.

    shes the real andelusian guitar deal.

  • ok people let me fill you in on who this chick is,she is a phenomenally talented musician who was discoverd in a convent school by legendary band leader xavier cugat at the age of 14 who prompely exploited her beauty and her bad english for comeadic effect and inadvertently destroyed her career in music.over-exposed on talk shows she had the distingtion of being one of the most famos{80%] and least liked(8%} celebritys of all time {the charo effect} lately her guitar talent has finally emerged.

  • @roman14032 Dorsal08 = 8%'er!!!!!!

  • wow! esteban's mother on jack 'n cody

  • In the 80s, Charo won Best Flamenco Artist in Guitar Player Magazine like every year. I never missed a show if I could help it.

  • Tabs?

  • Charo is an unbelievably talented player. I've stood next to her and watched her just kill it several times.

    I hear some sour grapes from some frustrated or overly opinionated and under informed posters.

  • ole maja!!!

  • Every time I watch her play I am amazed. She knocks out with ease those lighening fast triplets, glides runs and those fantastic rifs that are faster than the eye can see, On some of her rifs her fingers are so fast they are a blur. She is kind of a Harry James with a guitar and better to look at. The bad new is every time I am in Vegas she is not. Eddie in New York

  • Please ANIGHTWING! I play guitar. Forget all the "COOCHIE, COOCHIE", She is a gifted guitarist. There's nothing fake going on there. Knock it off. If you don't like her fine. But please acknowledge her brilliance as a musician.

  • Sync playing or not Charo to me is the best acoustic guitar player I have ever heard. Incidentally to near perfectly sync that phenominal precise lightening fingering is an increcible feat unto itself. Hollywood demands this kind of trick stuff but there they can retake the mistakes, Charo did it live with no mistakes. What a marvelous entertainer and she can sing, dance and do comedy too. Bavo Charo AAA+++ Eddie in New York

  • yeah i remember dad realy thinkin she was hot .. still is and by the gods an incredable musition

  • well done.  and i do mean steak.

  • She puts bass players to shame... Greatness

  • I just thought she was a flamenco dancer, but didn't know she was such a talented gutarist! My bad, Charro! Respect!

  • I remember her on Love Boat as a kid, I had no idea she was such an amazing musical talent. She doesn't need a backup band, just listening to her play makes me and my husband want to dance! Keep going Charo, your amazing!

  • Not taking anything away from Charo. I happen to be one of those people that think that Charo's guitar playiong is just about one of the best playing guitar out there. However, on the search line enter "manitas de plata" and allow yourself to be transported to a totally new level of guitar playing.

  • god thats amazing! her music is beyond words! she should never stop doing this!!:) and i just love her accent XD

  • Comment removed

  • This woman plays as beautiful as she looks, I never knew she had this much talent, she is a awesome guitar player and hot all over !

  • Just watching her fingers move so skillfully....wow :) And she's so talented in other things too, and so bubbly! x3

  • These women are lovin that .Charo plays like a tiger.And probably a kitten in bed,I luv her.What a woman wow.

  • she 's better than lady caca, with out making some much effort, she's natural...

  • Sorry. only "retards" on this convo, are the ones that don't see what's in front of their face. So I will say this one more time, and if the idiots want to think they are right, fine. BUT THE ARE NOT, SHE IS FAKING IT!!! So get over yourselves, cause on this one no matter what anyone says, and it has been proven, that she is FAKING THIS PERFORMANCE, so deal with it :)

  • @ANIGHTWING You sir are obviously ignorant. You don't even play guitar do you? The vid is real and so is Charo - she studied under one of the greatest classical guitars of all time - Andres Segovia. Now, please put your limp little penis back in your pants, you sad little man.

  • @ANIGHTWING evidently you know nothing of guitar playing. You really should review all of Charo's guitar playing here on you tube and then come again to apologize for your ignorance. Or are you going to remain stupid saying that all Charo's playing guitar is fake?? You nincompoop . . . . .

  • @ANIGHTWING You are certainly young if you can only think to use insults as a rebuttal. I think what you are looking for is that she is playing live accompanied with background tracks. I'd argue that faking an instrument is probably much harder to do in a studio audience then it is say for a youtube video or for a concert. Had this been her simply uploading a video I'd totally agree. Sorry she's awesome? And that you have issue with it? *shrugs*

  • shes still so beautiful

  • You guys are retarded. Even if this video is edited it's simply for the reason of being crystal clear. I've seen Charo live in 2009 and she can play just like that and nail every note. She comes from the era when studio production wasn't an option, do not doubt that she isn't an incredible musician and can play any of that.

  • LMAO, that's funny stuff bro. And thanks revedmusic for finally proving me right, lol. Figures it took a fellow musician with good comp skills to do it. So I will leave one more post on the video, just to thank you for proving my point. Even though I think you will find like I did, wrong or right, some will still argue with you. Cause I am sure you know, some people just hate to be wrong, lol. Again, thanks revedmusic, and keep on jammin - Anight :)

  • To explain to others just how right you are about How Charo faked this video I thought I would tell you I just caught my dog synching a performance with one of his old audio tracks. He hasn't uploaded it because I won't let him have a YT account.

  • I will say one last thing and you all argue about it if you want. I am not saying Charo can't play the guitar, in the studio, maybe she did really play all. But, on this video, anyone with my background with music, and video editing will tell you, she Is not playing live on this. She is doing like so many do and she is playing to a recording, that if loud enough in a studio, and practiced enough, can look like you are actually playing the song. She Is Not Plying Live Here. Like it or not :)

  • @ANIGHTWING Not only are you right but If I just recorded an audio track. without video I can easily play it again for the camera, then with PowerDirector 9 delete the camera sound. Then synch both with the "Audacity" audio track. Any amateur who uploads to YTube does it easily so that you can't tell it. This isn't rocket science. I think my dog can probably do it. 

  • @ANIGHTWING -You must be really, really young. You may want to do a bit of research about Charo because your comment is embarrassing to read. Only someone who doesn't realise she is a highly respected guitarist and knows she's been around since the 70s would even come out with the line: "maybe she did really play all."

    Child, there ain't no "maybe" about it. No need to get hung up on whether or not the song is "live" - you're watching the great Charo play! Just listen and enjoy it!. Geesh

  • @FredericaBimble Today's generation is just RETARDED! What do you expect from kids wom think American Idol is singing or that rap is actually music???

  • @ANIGHTWING Wrong kid. It is a live performance. How do I know? I play this song, and to watch her play it, I wish I could do as well. Obviously you have no musical experience. At least not with the guitar. And I seriously doubt your video editing skills also. Her finger movements, and her timing match the sound and video perfectly, which cannot be done syncing 2 different performances. Proof you don't know "jack" about music ! ! !

  • She is wonderful. 

  • I'd love to see her with a Gibson and a Marshall Stack, too. What amazing fingers!

  • I wish I could play like that xD

  • WOW!! WHY DOES'NT SHE GET MORE PRAISE FOR THIS TALENT??? MY GOD SHE'S GOOD!!!

  • @guyguy396 most people just don't know sadly

  • @guyguy396 - Because she is a woman and women just get blamed for things that go wrong and not for our abilities. Just look at some of the comments under her videos. The little boys on here are more concerned about saying crude comments. As for her receiving praise, she has had plenty in the 70s and 80s when that was her heyday. Real musicians know her very well, she just isn't mainstream popular.

  • There will always be those willing to phuck up the music with BS threads like this

  • You are Wrong, I am Right. And by you saying what you say proves it. Cause all you can do is call names, and put down what you can't even do yourself. And to say the Discoverer of the Worlds Earliest Recordings knows less then you, just shows how Egotistical and really Idiotic you are. So YOU LOSE, I WIN ;) So go back to your Mommy little boy and have her clean you up, cause you just got schooled, made yourself look like a fool, and proved me more right then I ever could have, lmao ;)

  • @ANUTWING Ha! Far from it. I supported my claims with good hard evidence. Charo has been twice voted "Best Classical Flamenco Guitarist in the World" by Guitar Player Magazine. NO guitar player with those kind of credentials is going to fake it. And again if she had, there is no way in which to silence an acoustic guitar, and if she had been that "off" as you say, it would not have meshed with the recording and the audience would have had their fingers in their ears.

  • @kanderslam Look at "Bolero".It has great studio audio but guitar during video isn't even plugged in and no mics. Performance is synched to earlier recorded audio.I noted 2 mos ago that Charo isn't playing "Malaguena" on Martha Stewart. Its easy for anyone to synch a live performance to a previous audio track. I do it once in awhile with track volume. I play but its overrwhelmed by the recording. I ran "Enounce" and slowed this down. I think its fake but she is a virtuoso player.

  • @revedmusic - Who cares? I suggest you go and listen to her old recordings from back in the 70s and 80s and don't focus on something as ridiculous as whether or not someone isn't playing "live." There are hundreds of Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson videos you can go and tear apart. Can't see the motivation for trying to drag others down to your misery. Just listen to the music and enjoy. A better challenge? Go and analyse the Django Rheinhardt videos on here. LOL

  • @FredericaBimble Thanks for your remarks. I, however will continue to post what I choose and next time your handlers unzip your jacket, free your hands and allow you to have a few minutes of unsupervised time I suggest you make better use of it than to get on Yt and rant against things you don't understand.

  • @kanderslam - True. Just ignore the fools who come on here to troll the threads. Anyone who plays guitar or knows their guitarists knows of Charo's incredible talent.

  • @ANUTWING - And I will ALWAYS be a winner, and you will ALWAYS be a LOSER. I can recommend a good optometrist, because it seems as if you need one!

  • That's the best you can come up with? Anightwing 1, kanderslam 0. I love how when you prove someone wrong and school them, all they can do is call names and put down what they can not do themselves, lmao. Now go back to your Mommy little boy, and let the Grown People talk. Your Wrong, You Lose and I Laugh. Me, I have nothing else to say to you as I Won. Plus I don't Argue with idiots, they always beat you with experience. ;)

  • Oh and one last thing, the Discoverer of the Worlds Earliest Recordings complemented me on my skills. So I think I will take his word over yours any day, lmao ;)

  • @ANIGHTWING You sound like you are still replicating the worlds earliest recordings...

  • If you say so. I can tell you are one that will think they are right no matter what, so fine. I know what I know, and this is one time I will not argue. She's faking it, that's a Fact, and that's that :) Oh and by the way, to call one names just because you are wrong, just shows who the true idiot is. So do go on, as i think all can see by your remarks, only one idiot here, and it is not me ;)

  • Wrong, she is not note for note and it's not a audio issue. Yes she is Faking. I restore Video and Audio for a living, so I know what I am talking about. I can sit her with a Guitar and given enough time be able to make it look like I was playing the song to. Just cause you see a Mic, doesn't mean it's on. So sorry to bust your bubble, but I know what I say. Watch more close, In the intro, the run starts before her fingers do, and when she strums up, the guitar on the track strums down.

  • @ANIGHTWING I hate to see what your restored video and audio look and sound like. Why would someone who can play as well as she does fake it for anything? I know what I say. I have played guitar since I was eight years old and I am 41 now. And when she "strums up" as you say, it sounds exactly like it should. There is not a guitar player on this planet that would be able to learn and play such a complicated piece and accidentally strum the wrong way. You sir, are an idiot.

  • @ANIGHTWING And another thing...in the beginning the run is based on bar chords. The chords of "F" and "A minor" to be exact. The reason her fingers don't move much is because she doesn't have to move them. She is playing the strings she has depressed and the open strings as well. You guitar hero playing freaks have no idea what you are talking about.

  • Charo can play 95% of ALL guitar players on YouTube under a fucking table...and she is more fun than 99.9% of us...:)

  • She may have played in the studio, but if you watch video real close, you will see that she's not really playing here. Two key things to look for. The beginning when the fast finger run starts, it starts before her fingers do, lol. And a little after that she strums the guitar up, but if you listen, when you see her hit the top string, you will hear the bottom one. If you watch and listen close, and you will see. I still think she's Sexy and Talented though ;) And fun to watch no matter what ;)

  • @ANIGHTWING Obviously you have absolutely NO IDEA what you are talking about. She is playing note for note...maybe the audio track was a little off when you downloaded it. She is playing the EXACT notes of this song, believe me I know. You cannot fake with an acoustic guitar because the mics would pick it up.

  • WOW!!!! Who'd a thunk it!!

  • o_o

    amazing...

  • Love Charo! She is awesome! Yours, Jae Smith ♥

  • I wish I was that guitar! A bit abstract.... but this lady is incredible and to me the best classical acoustic guitar player in the world. Breathtaking Charo AAA+++.

  • Such a contrast to her usual silly, bubbly other persona!

  • Andres Segovia DID teach her... She is the real deal. Not just a pretty face!

  • OMG so fuckn' hot I love love love her!

    everything after 3:10???? wtf hahaha

  • Amazing!!! i will buy her CD from Amazon

  • Oh you guys need to shut the fuck up.

    Martha wasn't being rude. Many people DO have a hard time understanding Charo, and it's been like that for decades! Merv Griffin used to say the same thing back in the 80's to her.

    Charo knows she's being over the top, and she has a fantastic sense of humor about herself, and is a true comedienne and icon.

    Both Martha and Charo have made strong impacts and paved the way for generations of women, and each should be respected for that.

  • Holy crap, this is good...

  • @JonathanSharman Good enough for Andres Segovia himself to to teach her.

  • Wow!

    

  • she's 69 :-O

  • Comment removed

  • Actually, it's between 69 and 59, nobody knows, she says she was born '51 and documents say '41.

  • @ReignzOfBrainz Now she is gonna say she hasnt had a cirgury in her monster face, I guess I'll have to choose 69.

  • jammin'!

  • María Rosario Pilar Martínez Molina Gutiérrez de los Perales Santa Ana Romanguera y de la Hinojosa Rasten

    no wonder she just goes by Charo

  • chuci chuci

  • @puppy7868 youve never heard of Martha Stewart? seriously? youre lucky!

  • damn she can play

  • jak się nazywa ta piosenka?

  • @Duszek0066 caliente

  • jak się nazywa ta piosenka?

  • Charo plays great - and Martha SUCH a RUDE BIATCH!!! Yes Martha we're NOT RETARDED, we can understand what Charo said perfectly FINE.

    That Martha needs a kick in arse

  • Ummmmm, yes Martha... We can understand her!!!! How rude!!! It's called an accent, she's not speaking Alien! LOL!!!

    Loooooove Charo! So amazing!!!!

  • She is the best of the best.......

  • weird. all i thought she had was big tits.

  • OMG! I would kill to get a Strat in her hands!

  • oh Martha go die in a ditch :)

  • @asand1985 ya that was messed up. martha sux.

  • I can't stand it--she's too GOOD. I love this!

  • Charo is Amazingly Talented Boquero Flamenco Guitar Her highly developed Technique

    rivals all She is it most incredible performer the crowd goes nuts Awsome performance

  • Excellent performance

  • Martha is such a bitch,"do you understand everything she is saying," what an idiot, how dare she say that about Charo and right in front of her on TV, I would have flipped if I was Charo, and btw atleast Charo is talented and has done something with her life, she is been super hot since the stone age and is super talented, the complete opposite of martha stewart what a DUMB BITCH!!!!

  • Do you know Charo had her age legally changed? The argument was that her real age was a liability to her career.

    Sow doesn't look a day over...um....um....Angeline?

    She could pass for 40's but I think she's easily in her 60's.

  • she is out of her mind good. she makes love with her guitar.

  • Go charo!! GO :D

  • i dont think i have ever seen anybody show how much they love life as much as she does.Such fire!

  • Martha is such an ice queen!

  • easey over 8000 dollars for that guitar 

  • A beautiful woman playing beautiful music! What more could you ask for?

  • @jerami101 I concur with this statement!!!

  • Whatta ball of fire, and to be so intelligent and talented.... frickin amazing to watch

  • muy buena i love you charo bellisima and caliente!!

  • Hot damn.. if she is a cougar and I was the prey... I'd be pwned, willingly...

  • She's amazing. Adding her to one of my top favorite female guitarists!

  • Charo should come out with her own line of guitars to go head-to-head with Estaban!

  • @leatherwings007 she would take esteban in a contest....hands down....

  • @peelincaps yes, but how would the quality and craftsmanship of her line of guitars compare to those of Esteban's?

    actually, i'm sure if they had any quality to em at all, they'd be better, as those Esteban guitars are pretty crappy

  • @leatherwings007 dude, you could make a guitar out of a capn crunch box that would sound better than an esteban guitar...

  • Amazing and inspiring...Thanks .

  • Talented, funny, and gorgeous! Does it get any better than this?

  • BB in music!

  • Those nails almost funtion as guitar picks!! :OMG she's amazing

  • charo is so great! i love her she is a sexy animal

  • She's incredible. she makes it look so simple.

  • Amazing talent!

  • i have no idea how she can play this and show off at the same time

    she is amazing!!!!!!!!!

  • I love how she still pretends that she only half speaks English. But she's still awesome! Then again, you have to be to have studied under Andres Segovia.

  • @drewsky67 LOL hard eh shes been speaking it for who knows how many hears now:P

  • Charo is awesome!!!!

  • i give big Oleeeee to this

  • Charo eres fabulosa!

  • charo's a hero!!!!

  • I love the the fact the effette and ridiculous Martha is the felon here, supposedly talking down to Charo.... hey sweetie, Charo didn't do 9-12 for grand larceny... viva mi cultura!

  • she is absolutely incredible!

  • LMAO - I love how Martha asks the audience at the end if they understood what Charo said. I had no idea she was such a good guitarist. I'm very impressed.

  • Charo, ERES GENIAL!!! :D xoxo

  • Check out the video "Sasha Yatchenko with Charo and other famous people" on youtube. Then look at her latest show "SASHA YATCHENKO AT THE ROSE GARDEN RESTAURANT AND PUB" She is a 14 year old that was inspired by Charo to write and sing her own songs when she met her at the Mohegan Sun in Conn. when Sasha was about 8 years old!! She hasn't stopped since. She is just getting "BETTER"

  • I thought she was just a ho! Charo just blew my mind!!

  • Shows how much you know, dumbass.

  • An open mind is a beautiful thing. Seems you have one, nigel. Good for you! :)

  • Yo tambien!

  • very talented

  • questo e arte !

  • Love her love her love love her.
