I studied with fred for a couple of semesters at grossmont college, i can easily say that he is an amazing talented outgoing standup person with a passion not only for music but for teaching. Mr. Bennedeti if you read this, i just studied with juan serrano in fresno...very cool stuff! Amazing playing and great vid...as usual:)
Very nicely done. Nice to hear an version not so watered down as many like to do. I have always been under the impression that Flamenco is meant to be interpreted and note played note for note. There is an art in the improvisation.
You're rendition of tempestad is inspiring, this piece is a standard in my repertoire, I enjoyed immensely hearing how other guitarists have interpreted one of Serrano's great pieces.
What a sadness: only 4 comments and only 4 stars for such a fabulous performance?!?
Fred, you are brilliant. Your playing is full of colors and true life, and what you do with your guitar is so beautiful that tears came in my eyes while listening it.
Thanks for the compliments! The guitar is a 1964 Jose Ramirez Flamenco. I have an old barcus-berry/martin thinline piezo pickup under the saddle. The amps are: Fishman Performer Pro going through a Bose L1 Model I system.

Fred is the best. He teaches at Grossmont CC and SDSU I think, if you happen to be in San Diego.
