  • Ottmar, we love you and know you from way back!!!! in Vegas.... God Bless you.... we still enjoy your CD's here in New Orleans..... Thanks for your music...

  • i need the tabs of this song

  • @2:56 Random smiley face =D

  • @AndySiew1994 @3:01 sorry

  • y'all need to chill and just listen to the music. and it sounds like spanish guitar to me so i call it flamenco. if you don't like that i call it flamenco, you jusssss Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit out!!!!!

  • @Kalenski oh your words are so hurtful . I already said "I never claimed to be an expert... " maybe u should learn to recognize your own shortcomings, like reading & comprehension before you go knocking others.

    Now have yourself a merry little christmas.. and go f..k your hat u stupid shitass polack

  • @Kalenski I never claimed to be an expert on any culture, nor did I ever discount the greatness of who the true pioneers are of anything. My point was that music styles evolve, and newer artists often list many of the great pioneers as their influences. That in itself is a compliment to the pioneers. You obviously missed that. Maybe read more carefully before you blast others with your pompous, self-righteous, self-claimed intelligence.

    Jeez,everyone's a expert on something aren't they?

  • @buzzcity01 "Jeez,everyone's a expert on something aren't they?"

    Not you though... :)

  • You can hear beginners playing better than this. And composing better. And it is no way Flamenco.

    A triumph of marketing above artistry and not the first time a faker has fooled thousands of uneducated.

    I could cite players who are real Flemanco guitarists (Sabicas, Montoya, Sanlucar, De Lucia, Amigo, Nunez). I could cite far better guitarists who have the decency not to market themselves as Flamenco (Strunz & Farah).

    But instead, I offer this: a real Granada gypsy playing funk: v=06Ud0t4QAAc

  • @hevster -All music genres go through evolutions in style and sound. Where would music be today without combining the musical influence of the past with today's artistic creativity? Liebert's style is called Nouveau Flamnco and you can't argue with 38 Gold & Platinum albums since 1990. He has done for Flamenco music what Carlos Vives has done for Vallenato music. The classic styles are still great but so is the new age. stop hating and start appreciating

  • @buzzcity01 If you actually knew about the cultures of which you talk, you wouldn't post this. Stop defending your ignorance of true gypsy culture with pseudo-intellectual claptrap.

    Gold records is no mark of greatness, only that you've found a market.

    Anyone with even a passing knowledge will know that Ottmar is a fake and that the true pioneers are people like Paco De Lucia.

    Jeez, even the Gypsy Kings have greater claim to being revolutionary.

  • hahahah WTF IS THIS?!? REAL FLAMENCO HAS MORE PASSION IN THE FIRST 10 SECONDS THAN ALL OF THIS GUYS "MUSIC"

    AlSO A DISCGRACE TO THE GUITAR HE'S HOLDING FAKE MUSIC FOR PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW WHAT REAL FLAMENCO IS

  • @hevster501 and what would you know about passion? getting mad because somebody is making beautiful sounds on a wonderful instrument? cmon man i hate dissing people like this but wtf is your problem?

  • Were are the Trumpets?!

  • è sempre fenomenale . . .

  • OMG i really like this ... excellent !!

  • simplicity can be a wonderful thing,his music takes me beyond the mundane.Awesome guitarist! The way he blends notes is amazing! great dynamics,i admire the way he uses rests.

  • Comment removed

  • Beautiful song, great player...love it.

  • no hace nada increible, ni virtuosidad ni tecnica que asombre, su musica es sencilla, pero es bonita...

  • Words can't describe sufficiently what his music does for me...can't seem to get enough. Superb!

  • I wish the camera operator had his shit together better. Ottmar has this FEROCIOUS right hand technique - WHICH WE GUITARISTS ALL WANT TO SEE Damn it! No close ups of *HIS* right hand - only the Bassist and the Cajon player... The front view has a hideous mic shock mount blockng the view.... Great player - bad camera work. Irritating to anyone who is a player I am sure.

  • went to his concert a few years back, such an honor to hear him play live!

  • LORD God of Israel lovingkindness in the morning hunku etanhan oyate is another great music artist with mother of nations faithfulness every night.

  • His music takes me into a new world. He is amazing!

  • Ya like what does he know about charming a snake, somethings lacking, maybe a dead snake - too much zen buddy.

  • He dose kinda walk around with his nose in the air. He probably thinks his own shit don't stink

  • OH FUK OTTMAR!!!!! HE'S A PRISSY BRAINWASHED ZENULY TWIT!!

  • Let people say what they want....that his music is simple, that is not flamenco, that bla bla bla...it can also be be true..but anyways it's great listening to his music, that's the point. I love his music, some of it can be simple, but I just love and enjoy it. For some reason many people buy his music. Porque toca el alma y mueve tus emociones. Amo Ottmar Liebert!!!!

  • sleep godnight

  • The reality is that he sucks!!! only uses La minor & mi major.

    only ordinary people likes that kind of music.

    The worst Flamenco students play far better than him.

    The gay mafia creates celebrity again.

  • @Thesomayeh59 ok maybe like you plays the guitar, and are very famous, fuking bastard!!!!!

  • What guitar is that he's using?

  • this music is additive

  • TRUMPETS!!!!

  • Excelente musica me hace sentir bien , gracias por ese don.

  • I watched a video that used 1 of his songs that i really really liked ( I still dunno the title) so I searched this guy n now I wanna listen to all his music! :)

  • Thanks Day9 for making me discover this guy.

  • hey, theres no midgets in this one either.... what the hell?

  • Thank you for the Video, Ottmar is a great song writer and also one of the few New Age Flamenco players that actually plays with proper technique. He is not a flashy player but he writes great melodies and knows how to sell Albums. Despite all the critics, you have to give the guy some credit for selling out large venues and appealing to a wide range of audience. To me he is like the Moby of Flamenco music.

  • Well said HmnMn

  • This guy is an f'n narcissist. A song with the title, The Blink of an "I" Equals Eternity says it all. What a tool!!

  • Una musica simple y no sencilla, comercial y no artística. Tantos guitarristas excelentes en el mundo y no tienen la publicidad que se merecen. Vean a Manolo Fraco por ejemplo

  • Una musica simple y no sencilla, comercial y no artística. Tantos guitarristas excelentes en el mundo y no tiene la publicidad que se merecen. Vean a Manolo Fraco por ejemplo

  • I just got turned on to this from Marty Robins comments

  • To Arrastro: There are many flavors of jazz, blues, rock and roll and flamenco music. Seems like you are out-numbered here. I also find Ottmar's music refreshing and upbeat - love to listen to him and have seen him perform live.  He's pretty magical. Like others have said - if you no like then no listen!

  • Fantastic! Ottmar has been a big inspiration to me. I love the music. Thank you for sharing!

  • this is well done, thanks for sharing...!!

    thanks so much dear susan!! xxxxxx judy

  • I agree with many people here. Ottmars playing and music is weak and he certainly doesn't deserve all the acclaim he seems to get. For me it is like listening to paint dry!

  • @smoothflamenco (in the voice of 'The most interesting man in the world') - "what eez that ?....what, can you tell me, eez de sound of paint drying ?"

  • el Cajon (instrumento de percusion) gran aporte peruano

  • Chris Burton Jacome by comparison...

  • Esto te lo hace cualqier chaval q lleve un año tocando

    Vaya mierda,y encima con la puta etiketa de nuevo flamenco

    No todo es tecnica,pero es q al anhelico este le falta no solo tecnica,sino alma y pureza,q no se necesitan solo pal flamenco,sino para cualqier musica

    Alguien me puede dcir q aplaude la gente el e min 3:08???Pa yo no veo nada reseñable,menudo publico....

  • @falilloruina entonces yo en una año puedo hacer melodias como las de ottmar, no, es cierto son sencillas, pero es agradable escucharlas, son bonitas, me siento en armonia cuando las escucho, no entiendo porque el desacuerdo, es solo un musico que tocas sus piezas musicales

  • las creaciones y melodias de oftmar son muy buenas llegan al sentido, el se mueve solamente en aires flamencos nada mas, nunca lo viera como un guitarrista flamenco, es como decir esta en bicicleta queriendo manejar un tractor, pero igual toca linpio aunque no use siquiera disonantes o escalas vertiigonosas, interpretar sus melodias es sumamente sencillo, pero bueno hay que darle merito por sus creaciones que son bonitas

  • That is a beautiful sound

  • ????

  • Quiza Ottmar no sea tan bueno como algunos dicen pero hace excelentes melodias y ha vendido mas discos que muchos flamencos juntos. Amigos flamencologos, aprendamos a respetar.

  • Simplemente es excelente!!!..acuerdate que la tarea de los críticos es criticar y no más ...no los dan cuerdas que nos hacen sentir !!!

  • what i read is shi.... you are jealos that you cant play as him

    ottmar is one of the best guiatrrist

    vamos ottmar!!!!!!! y que se pudran a los q no les gusta pues no lo escuchen porq los que si saben de musica apreciarina esto

    apoyo a mi amigo de aki abajo el nunca dijo q tocara flamenco asi ke a callar para q lo sepan se ubica mas en new age si se pudiera pero como su musica es tan rica en cultura y sonidos es dificil ubicarlo en una sola cosa sino leanse en wikipedia ignorantes

  • examples of how toplay flamenco guitar: look for

    Vicente Amigo, Rafael Riqueni, Jose Luis Rodriguez, Juan Manuel Canizares, Jose Antonio Rodriguez, Viejin, Jeronimo Maya, Gerardo Nunez o Juan Carlos Romero....Lo de Ottmar es patetico

  • Me parece inaceptable que solo querais postear los comentarios positivos..... a veces hay que aceptar las criticas.... Ottmar es muy mal guitarrista y va de ojitos cerrados y entrar en trance....es todo mentira.... es evidente

  • Tienes razon Ottmart esta muuuy lejos de Vicente Amigo ,Gerardo Nu~es y muchos otros que admiro,pero es que Ottmart nunca a dicho que el toca flamenco ,es la gente la que lo hubica en esa categoria y las companias disqueras como "Nouvo Flamenco" ,lo de el son melodias sencillas que el crea en su guitarra y veo que tiene mucho publico a mi me gusta el flamenco y tambien me gusta lo que hace Ottmart

  • do you have the music video????

  • No se de donde sacas tal seguridad para decir que no tiene el nivel necesario para tocar, me gustaria escucharte a ti

  • Maybe you can show us how to play a guitar?

  • Excitement and the Joy about Flamenco are things you born with...Good music good talent but wrong birth place maybe...

  • very talented, .....but cant hold a match to strunz and farah, or gypsy kings.....positive kemetic vibes.....hotep

  • a great example of German machine-like efficiency, even in a musical performance, the Germans can look detached and expressionless

  • The best comment ever made about Ottmar! You are absolutely RIGHT!

  • the expressionless face shows nothing about how good of a musician he is. all it shows is that he is either concentrated or bored with the music. i dont really like this, and i do find it boring, but thats just my opinion. that doesnt mean everyone has to hate me for it, we just dont like that same types of music

  • And I thought I was a good guitar player, he is a genious

  • Beautiful work and a great video.

  • Incredible.

  • Thank you for posting this great video!

    never knew this song was live on video!

    true top notch gutarist!

    5+*****!

  • The aquarian is apart of evry note he plays.

    The expressionless face is the mark of a true musician, that never lets his breathing or heart rate get up, no matter how his notes or rythms are being played out.

    He is a testimony to music greatness and is truly an innovator.....Beautiful Aquarius.

  • the music sounds as boring as the bored face of this pale dude here. there is no flame, no fierceness, no wild and savage mad truth in this music, its all lemonade - these intellectual types simply are uncapable to grasp the SPIRIT of whats essential

  • If you have hate in your heart, let it out!! haha, what a tool.

  • I think he's a great player. I could listen to him all day.

    Paco de Lucia is more than great. He's a phenomenon. But that doesn't take anything away from other fine players like Ottmar LIebert.

  • @Hmnmn otmar liebert is the worst most pathetic player in the world and part of universe......................­..and you know about guitar and flamenco as much as i know about playing violin............fucking idiot

  • @arrastro1 Take it easy arrastro. Lighten up. We're all friends here, right?

    If you don't like Liebert's playing, don't listen. No one is forcing you to. Besides, Liebert is not the most pathetic guitar player in the world. I am! And I'll fight any man that says I'm not worse than Liebert.

  • You thing he is good. Try listening to Paco De lucia. He will make this guy look like a boy

  • @executive38

    It is a different style and feel. If you can't grasp that, then I feel sorry for you. It is about feeling and expression. Ottmar has his own distinct sound. No one can take that from him.

  • ottmar is very unique and full of passion, I love his music

  • " One good thing about music' Is when it hits you , you feel no pain.' [ Bob Marley ]

  • @AIPTEKHD1080p720p Unless its country music! Only kidding.... :)

  • this guy is pretty good

  • Ottmar...see u in Houston Hard Rock

  • mindaflame7

    With that type of comment...nice knowing u as a fan.

  • This video is from the Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour. They record that show in my city (Lexington, KY). I wish I had been there on this night!

  • Very slow. zzz......

  • OTTMAR LIEBERT. AMAZING.

  • i like his music, although it gets repetitive after a while.

  • O Thought i know music but this is a new meaning of classical guitar music

    amazing i love this song cause it was the first a heard from ottmar liebert

  • Wonderful playing and composition !

  • awesome xD

  • Guys, this is music, NOT wrestling or racing. Its MUSIC!! Screw flamenco compass!! Who cares about the 12 count? As long as the music sounds good, its a good thing. More chicks will dance to Ottmar's music than they would to Paco Pena's music.

  • He is a good musician and composer, just needs to keep away from topics he knows nothing about...

  • In an interview he said he only studied flamenco six months and just afterwards blew it off saying "It's a Spanish thing.. not having been born there, I would never dream of calling myself a traditional flamenco player". In another he said true flamenco is hard to listen to and that most traditional people are not the players but the critics who want purity for their little thing like "I cant play it , but I know what its supposed to be." Dude shut up, you don't know what your talking about! :-/

  • You can put negative points but you can't argue with the truth. He's a good musician and composer, though. I enjoy his music.

  • Ottmar makes touristmusik - sleeping pill flamenco. Look out for propper players such as Paco Pena - He rocks!

  • its just chill music. there are many flavors of flamenco. so calm down and stop with the flamenco snobbery.

  • I just like PROPER music and can't deal with this washed out background music (and he's everywhere). His music is not that chilled either, it's more like 'it doesn't come from anywhere and doesn't go anywhere either', but I guess we go at it from different angles.

  • Wow! do you always backdoor compliment yourself like that. I bet people around you laugh about you behind your back.

  • Liebert is DEFFINETLY NOT a flamenco player, and yes there are different flavors of flamenco, But this is NOT one of them. I love Lieberts music, his touch, and his style, as well as Armik, Jesse cook, strunz and farah etc... But the truth is NONE of those guys i just mentioned play flamenco music, the fact that the masses call it "Nuevo flamenco" does not make it so. The music is beautiful and it's all that matters in the end, but it's NOT FLAMENCO

  • thank u! flamenco is classy sophisticated music like Ramón Montoya used to say. This is more like pop or rock!

  • That´s right... I agree.... You know what´s up dude!

  • Shahin, manam guitar meezanam ghorboon.

  • @mindaflame7

    Nuevo Flamenco

  • great stuff!

  • Sure beats Celine Dion in my book for romance

  • Ottmar Liebert has been one of my favourite guitarists since the very early 90s

    when I first saw him (where I can not remember) anyone of his CDs is great background music for a romantic and erotic evening. Even go so far as to say it has Tantric qualities.

  • this is great, the little jam with the percussionist is really cool. I love his collaboration with Santana and their version of Samba Pa Ti

  • Ottmar Liebert ist für mich der beste Gitarrist, den ich in den letzten Jahrzehnten gehört habe, er hat ein geniales Solokkonzert in der Kulturkirche in Köln-Nippes 2009 gegeben.

  • CAJON IS

  • beautiful. i have all their songs.

  • oh man i want the tab

  • У нас в России,тоже так во дворе,ребята, играли,ничего удивительного,просто мы не афишируем это

  • No hay que ser vulgar con el joven que escribe raro

  • lo bueno es que el tio ruso ni te entiende

  • sounds like an angel playing

  • What kind of guitar is he playing ? Is it the spanish guitar?

  • Yes, it is a spanish guitar:)

  • Excellent. I have known and loved Ottmar's music since 1994 and he was a HUGE hit in Italy that year with Nouveau Flamenco - played in discos everywhere. Pure magic.

  • he looks like Brian Eno

  • 完美的箱琴表演,结尾太帅了!

  • man it's amazing how this man can make me pick up my guitar and play :D 5/5

  • Haven't heard of him before - someone - a freind - just included this loop in a bulletin - amazing - not pure jazz - not spanish - not...impossible to classify - but amazing fretting..

  • New world flamenco - absolutely awesome, If you like Ottmar try listening to Roni Benise -another great guitar player.

  • I still like Ott-more...

  • I remember the video version of this song from an old video channel called MorMusic...

    THANK YOU, YOUTUBE!!!

  • wow i'm from panama which is in central america and i remember mormusic where you could buy cds over the phone. we had cable from the US. this guy is good. soothing music.

  • I have worn out my CD's from overplaying them. Great music to listen to while driving.

  • He has developed his style so well over the years!!!

  • his style and melody is so clean

  • this man is amazing.........

  • Incredible! =D

    5*

  • Is that bass guitar fretless. That's awesome

  • a fretless bass is the sign of a truly gifted bassist

  • Awesome vid, and I think the bass is marvelous too.  Lance in beautiful Bremerton, Washingotn

  • Very well done!

  • good bass!

    good guitar!

    GREAT VIDEO!

  • Nice song, excelent artist...great!!!

  • Te guste o no, Ottmar tiene una trayectoria muy respetable y es un gran guitarrista. Si te aburre, es una opinion valida, pero su estilo es único y muy propio. En mi opinión es muy dificil decir que un guitarrista es mejor que otro, porque es una cuestion de opinión y es subjetiva, por lo tanto creo que merece un gran respeto x la calidad de su musica y aportaciones. (Espero sepas leer español ja). Para mi, es uno de los mejores guitarristas del mundo, hito en el New Age y referencia obligada...

  • pardon, no compronde amigo!!:)

  • Estoy de acuerdo con tu opinion a cerca del respeto por su trayectoria ,su estilo ha tocado a mucha gente me incluyo ,pero el mismo Ottmar sabe que el no es un genio en la guitarra y tampoco pretende serlo simplemente quiere transmitir su sentimiento a traves de la guitarra ,el mismo lo a dicho,porque los verdaderos maestros de la guitarra son otros.

  • Revisa el comentario de dalestat... va para ti!

  • The genre of Ottmar is not the typical Flamenco, infact he is know as the Father of the "Nouveau Flamenco", that's the genre you can hear in this sample track. He is quite distant from the genre of Cook, Lopez, Govi, Amigo, etc..

    Ottmar is Ottmar, and no one other like him.

    (I mean that his genre is the only one like he plays)

  • The father of "Nouveau spanish guitar" maybe, but "Nouveau Flamenco"? I doubt it. Lets put it this way, when I hear his music I dont hear any "Flamenco". In fact I would say what the others do is more "nouveau flamenco" than what ottmar does. I agree ottmar is ottmar and I still think he is no good and over rated!! No offence!!

  • why do people get thumbs down for viewing their opinion?

  • you're so stupid... haha

    I hope you LEARN to listen to good music!

  • yeah whatever, i have been listening to spanish guitar for around 15 years and have been playing it for at least 7 years. trust me pal i know what i am talking about, next time you respond to somebodys comment try to sound more inteligent than just saying something like your so stupid. You sound like a kindergardner haha

  • I'm kindergardner haha...

    ok!

    sorry!

    in your next comment put your curriculum!

  • good!!!!!

  • very beautiful...
