Pepe Romero - Fantasia

[newislandguitar]

..first classical player to ever impress me -20 years ago.. long before I ever started playing..later found out the whole family was gifted.When he plays the guitar sings...he plays with so much 'soul" it's amazing.Technically he's a beast of course! Although this piece is not difficult (you can learn it in about 20-30 minutes from this clip depending on your abilities) it is (performed) gorgeously and ive heard him play some (((very))) difficult but beautiful pieces from his 1970's records.

Pepe's music is like a 50 years old woman with heavy makeup, very fake, not from his heart, I call it computer generated music. I met him in person 16 years ago, he was a cocky guy.

I also met David Russle a year ago, he is a true musician and a down to earth gentleman. David Russle's music is truly from his heart. No wonder he is the #1 player in the world today.

what??!!!!! I imagine David Russell wouldn't even agree with you re: pepe's playing.

[Boldstrummer]

your comment says more about you than Pepe.

You have no idea of the depth of this man and his compassion. He has total control over the sound of the guitar. He plays it exactly as he feels it.

And with much love for his father who wrote it, and probably taught it to him. You have no manners, nor respect for your elders. Why don't you post a video of your playing and let's see who has the more soul.

[dukefan24112]

Pepe Romero, un magnífico guitarrista clásico. No hay técnica que lo intimide. Un auténtico maestro.

[danieldawg]

the romeros, eliot fisk, andres segovia, christopher parkening... some of the greatest guitarists ever! i saw parkening in concert and he was amazing. although christopher is good, i think that the romeros and fisk are way better

[adilzahrani]

[perikoguevara789]

man he plays amazing!

[musicloveranthony]

Wow, that's the most amazing flamenco performance I've seen. This guy is amazing. I saw David Serva perform a solo Flamenco concert recently. I wish his videos were on youtube.

[vonjibbly]

This is not, strictly speaking, flamenco. It's a stylised, classical guitar interpretation of a Guajira, a Cuban dance. Liten to emilio pujol's "Guajira" from about the same time as this was composed, by Pepe Romero's father, an equally accomplished classical guitaist and teacher.Nonetheless, a thing of beauty to behold. Am a tad pissed, so apologies for the crap syntax, illogical train of though etc.

HOLY SHIT!!! A TAPPING CLASSICAL GUITARIST!!! HE'S MOTHERULKIN AWESOME!!!

Although I personally think Eliot Fisk is better. But he's an asshole. I like Pepe's personality better.

[dustygeo]

amazing how he grew out his fingernails for the better sound...

[Headbanger408]

That guy is sheer genius. Bravo.

[Jitpring]

I just went to a USC masterclass he led. One of his quotes: "Make the guitar sound like she's feeling good." He sure does that here.
