Encrucijada (Fandangos) - Jason McGuire - Flamenco Guitar

[wilfredovazquez]

fantastic, your level of playing is among the best. Excelent piece

[JOEblowable]

Any self-respecting Gipsy would gladly break into song and dance to Jason;s awesome playing style...whats up haters!!

[vargmetallisk]

Wow, Jason, have you ever played acoustic guitar with a folk metal band ?

I mean that will be absolutely insane.

Great !

[Ugallardo]

Tu toque es muy potente, me llega.

[diecorgan]

que barbaridad, monstuazazo de duende que tiene Jason, me gustaria verlo en vivo algun día. es muuuuuuy bueno!!!

[shrynakesavan]

Wow… the ending was CRAZY ASS EPIC… Can u please tell me how long it took you to play like that… O.o , some day i hope i can play like that.. which such passion with a silver-lining of violence… T_T

[jaronovo]

simply the best

[Vamoalla]

I'm guessing he has to change his strings after every performance.

[MusicFanatic1990]

Hey Jason, if I were you I wouldn't bother commenting to these idiots who critique you like they are some expert version of Paco de Lucia. You have amazing play style and shouldn't need to defend it to some idiots.

Cheers, good luck and know that you are amazing. Haters such as Vincent are jealous sup-par rookies who don't know the meaning of true flamenco.

[Marrlow00]

@MusicFanatic1990: I agree with you completely. These Spanish snobs posting comments like they know better is ridiculous. From reading their useless posts it appears that they think they are experts just based on geography. Until they can post themselves playing at the skill level of Jason they have zero respect and credibility. They were probably beaten and dropped on their heads as little children.

[sito210584]

I am Spanish and touch the guitar and can say that this man is very good, of the level of the Spanish guitarists

[DjCoStE1]

[pavanguitars]

I've heard alot of bulerias and I must say yours are impossible to copy.

[willy1986tralara]

oleee toma ya!

[shahin0ne87]

Hombre... Whats the deal? What u doing with the guitarra?

Keep goin dude... Love your Style... Good Aire....

Oléééééé from Hamburg ;-)

[jayhoc718]

Hey Jason...I don't get how people have the balls to criticize your playing. Your fuckin awesome dude. I play flamenco myself but am no where near your level on it. I hope to one day play with as much aire and expertise as yourself. Keep on playing. Greeting from Brooklyn NY.

[bellingerga]

@jayhoc718 Think of it this way man, wiseman of music once said "you're no one till someone hates you".

There's always going to be someone with a strong opinion of the negative type towards super talent like this. Fuck em, let the rest of us enjoy it without those tools.

[animanelmondo]

I like your style. You play with a lot of strenght and control. Bravo, 5* and saludos from San Jose, CA

[delboy1978uk]

i like your golpes

you play amazingly :-)

[alexbulerias]

I saw a coment that jason strikes the guitar a lot....well....the true is that he strikes the fuck out of it.....but that doesn't mean that is wrong...and artist has to say something, and in this song I see it very well the golpes.

but well,as gerardo nunez said about golpes "is pretty much about the individual taste"

nice song!!!

[calvinilan]

Hey jason you sound great. I was a flamenco kid for a long time, i even played for some of your wifes classes a long time ago (i thought she was going to rip my head off) im kidding. anyway, you sound fantastic. Kill em all buddy! p.s. remember seth? what ever happened to him?

[tkennooitmaarvooruit]

Jason, when you are in Holland, let me know.

Visit me and have beer or something. Later on we could play a little. (you play the guitar, I act like I play the guitar) How's that sound?

[JasonMcGuireFlamenco]

A beer sounds fantastic!

[vincent4500]

If you saw my other comment on your bulerias you will realise I think your technique and obvious musical knowledge are World Class, I referred to the fact that even Paco was given constructive criticism and he learned from it..we can all learn from each other..if you achieve greater subtlety soloing, then you'll be approaching higher/Tomatito territory (my fav guitarist) you don't have that right yet though..regards, you're still one of the best in America, keep it up!

[JasonMcGuireFlamenco]

Sorry Vincent4500, I guess I took your comment the wrong way. Yes we can all learn from each other and I am always trying to better myself. These performances are from 2003. A lot has changed in my playing since then.

[calvinilan]

Who are you anyway Vincent ?

[vincent4500]

to translate what Franconeti said in Spanish, 'the guitar is not a drum, you've got to 'caress' it more and not strike/golpear it every 3 seconds. You must listen to music..otherwise very good..I agree, you strike the guitar too much..in Spain, when a guitarist does this he's referred to as a 'Manitas de Plata'..

[JasonMcGuireFlamenco]

Vincent4500 and Franconeti,

Both of you can "caress" the guitar all you want. I will continue to play the way I play and if you don't like it then don't listen. I work primarily as a dance accompanist and this is reflected in my solo playing. Why don't you guys learn my fandangos and post yourself playing it so I have a clear understanding of what you are trying to teach me.

[franconeti]

I insist he strike the guitar more of 40 times....

[franconeti]

I love the black color of scene becuse the music is not great thing

[franconeti]

la guitarra no es un tambor, hay que acariciarla y no golpearla cada 3 segundos. Hay que escuchar más música, por lo demá muy bien

[pacodegarcia]

Jason I love finding video's like this online! inspirational and played with pure duende, awesome! what a voice!

[SnakeTreeProductions]

[scat4u]

[texassoundman]

[sdot82]
