QUAIS FORAM OS SETE FILHOS DA PUTA QUE DISSERAM QUE NÃO GOSTARAM?

[aaronlcguitar]

[GuitarMaster2410]

Mucha gente joven suele comentar que hoy en día hay mucha más técnica, pero hay que tener claro qué es técnica. Hay gente que lo entiende como capacidad de tocar más rápido, con precisión a altas velocidades y hay gente que lo entiende como manejar diferentes recursos conservando la misma velocidad. Manolo Sanlúcar siempre insiste en que los guitarristas antiguos, tan escasos de técnica, fueron los que inventaron el "esqueleto" del flamenco. Y por mucho que uno añada adornos, hay que conservarlo

[marlorb23]

Cual Alegrias sera esta? Paco pena es un genio!

[monodelucia]

hermosa esa obra

[stratopick]

2:58 mantilla de feria

[dreamersan1]

прекрасный, милый, великий Пако!.. :)

[najwa581]

I am at work, and I am secretly on youtube, and instead of caring about the risk of being fired, I am secretly having chills while listening to this. A masterpiece!

[matrags]

Amazing. Simply amazing.

[s2p3r]

pena, de lucia, amigo, sanlucar, et al, i lke them all, and i'd rather not argue with anyone on who is the best and who sucks.

thanks for sharing this video.

[purplecita]

Esa no es Mantilla de Feria...

[tmjcbs]

@purplecita yes, it is.

[davidpintol]

@tmjcbs no it's not!! mantilla de feria la toca Paco de Lucia man...!!!

[tmjcbs]

@davidpintol Have you taken the trouble to listen to the 2nd part (from 2:55)? That is Mantilla De Feria. Ever considered that somebody else might play De Lucia's compositions?

[davidpintol]

@tmjcbs sorry you're right, I did not set well.

[pottsocrates]

@tmjcbs I think the composer is actually Esteban de Sanlucar and of course, many people do play this fabulous piece :)

[aaronlcguitar]

@tmjcbs It is actually by Esteban Sanlucar. Same guy who wrote Panaderos Flamencos.

[Rizantar]

@tmjcbs Actually Mantilla de Feria is Esteban de Sanlúcar composition.

[flamencotrovador]

@davidpintol SI es mantilla de feria!!!!!, y no es de Paco d lucia, es de Esteban de SanLucar

[toomuchrose]

@purplecita Yes it is, the second part is definitely Mantilla de feria, although Paco Pena plays his own interpretation of it.

[SonsOfGod]

sounds terrible. he should practice more or listen to Vicente Amigo, Paco de Lucia, Nino Miguel, Rafael Riqueni, Enrique de Melchor, and a long, long etcetera... this guy would be on the bottom of any list of flamenco players from Spain, if at all.

[purebk]

@SonsOfGod dude look who is playing this... clearly not you so dont bash this unless u can back it up urself

[SonsOfGod]

@purebk  just warning you guys over there who think this man is top of the top, he is not. And he must have some psychological problem in his head because he hasnt aproved his guitar playing in 40 years. So dont get fooled and pay big time money for this guy to perform in your city or take lessons from him... its a waste of time and money. Just come to Spain, you can start anywhere, there are fine guitar players in Madrid, Barcelona and Bilbao, but then come to Andalucia, end of story.

[mtkaala]

sounds like a bad case of Pena-envy. why don;t you post your playing so we can critique it objectively?

[SonsOfGod]

@mtkaala You bet I will. I am very busy right now preparing performances but some time along January or February, I will post something specially for you. And Pena-envy... well, calling my criticizing like that is giving too much credit to Pena and envy would mean I would like to be in his shoes and I definetly would not, rather not! Watch for instance Vicente Amigo, brilliant technique in all aspects. Pena must have feelings, and do not doubt that, I only observe totally obsolete technique.

[SonsOfGod]

Suena a lata.

[Trinitrotoluenador]

@SonsOfGod veo por tus comentarios que no te agrada mucho paco peña, será acaso que tomaste clases con él y no te aprobó?

[SonsOfGod]

@Trinitrotoluenador No tuve esa "suerte" de tomar clases con el. Pero es que yo vivia en Holanda y en Inglaterra un tiempo y he visto como este tio se presentaba ahi como si fuese el Messias de la guitarra flamenca, como si el hubiera inventado el toque, su irritante arrogancia daba nauseas pero yo pense "bueno, es normal, es el mismisimo Peco Pena!" Y cuando vine a vivir en Espana, pude comprobar que aqui hay cientos que tocan mejor que este. Para los flamencos de aqui, este tio ni existe.

[Tommyfazz]

this woman's timing is superb...any name here?

[psychopathtoine]

it's interesting how he holds his guitar. no support?

[HBKphiyen]

I'm trying to learn this Alegrias but most of the tabs on the internet is not this alegrias, who can share me this Alegrias?!?! plz

[toni88vp]

No sabía si me gustaba el flamenco o no hasta que he visto estos videos en internet. Que técnica! Da escalofrios.

[ianTnai]

The interplay between the guitar and percussion in "Mantilla de Feria" is pretty amazing. Music like this has always aided my focus on a problem.

[GodfatherDXB]

2:36-2:40 sounds a lot like a banjo lol!

[MORESCALGERINA]

One of my best flamennco guitarist video int all the web ...SUPERB !!! Olé ...ALLAH...

[chuckler1]

Superb!

[amoroso6661]

Muy bien la verdad que es muy bonito.Gran toque de guitarra acompañado de las castañuelas.Esta pieza de mantilla de feria de (Esteban Sanlucar), la habia visto antes,tocada por Paco de Lucia, pero la verdad que Paco Peña, tambien la toca genial.

[Molopozotion]

so good tremolo fuckin shit very musical for sure better then paco de lucia

[amsscorpio]

@Molopozotion theyre all great and talented you cant be judging like that.

[juanan19741974]

El toque por castañuelas resulta efectista: va a compás; pero el sonido no es limpio. Por otra parte, se toca con las yemas de los dedos, no con las uñas. Un poco de uña solo añade algo más de velocidad, pero nada más. Actualmente no se tocan así las castañuelas ni mucho menos.

[depaz10]

OOOlllleeee aaaaasoooooooooo!!!

[ciaputa]

"so, what do you do for a living?"

"I'm a professional caster net player!"

"...."

thats so cool

[FloufleVii]

*Castagnette*

Lol, funny! :)

[maggpil1]

Fenomenale...lui è il poeta della chitarra flamenca...il suo Tremolo è il migliore di tutti!!!

[sacromonte2]

thaTS just a beautiful performance , what a soundm and the musicallity especially , dynamic contrast on the tremlo in alegrias and mantilla , that was just great , godh i have to put that piece to memory,, pure brilliance is paco pena

[bobbygoesbig]

Ole!!

[gorrichea]

Could somebody tell me the name of the woman playing the castañuelas? I dont konw how to say that in english

[llamada100]

her name is LOLI FLORES and she lives in sevilla. she is also a wonderful flamenco dancer.

[camilo567]

Anyone got tabs for Alegrias?

[cadresde]

do you have windows media player?

[camilo567]

yes..

[ravishak]

Very, very good... One of the greatest flamenco-guitarist ever.

[bajdoub]

i totally agree

[tokaicarl]

easily my favourite guitarist ever- his palying has such grace

[cuarzo22]

Bravo !!!

[imsorryimnotgay]

Smoke dank bud!

[efromerican]

the second song is awesome. I have previously heard Paco De Lucia play it and he does a remarkable job too

[Y2H]

Thumbs up. But of course you can´t compare Paco de Lucía with ANYONE! Not even a phenomenal performer like Paco Peña.

[higarmi]

Y2H, Paco is among the greatest guitarists but yes you can compare him to other guitarists. Paco de Lucia is better in some aspects but not in others. You can call him the king of fast scales but that does not mean that his tone is the best or that his expressiveness is the best. Have you ever heard him playing a slow piece and making it sound really expressive? With a suit profund tone? There are guitarists that are better than him from that perspective.

[flamenclose]

``Have you ever heard him playing a slow piece and making it sound really expressive? ''

- just listen to paco playing the 2nd movement

of the concierto de aranjuez.

Besides, Paco is the most expressive guitarist I've ever heard.

[tokaicarl]

exactly- great intelligent comment- i wish more people thought like you instead of saying so and so's better than him etc.,

i love paco pena for the more traditional flamenco stuff and i don't think anybody can touch him for that stuff

[JamesPatrickLloyd]

Mi nino curro is just one example.

[cornolio1]

omg, hes so good :D

[MagnetismoAnimal]

mola, preciosa version!

[attractivefrenchguy]

The tremelo portions.. are perfectly in time.. smooth as silk...

[oemre24]

is there anyone what is the first song's name? alegrias isn't it's name.. saludos

[Gioberthy]

hi im not sure but i think, the name of the first piece is "los Veleros"...

creo que el nombre de la primera pieza es "los veleros" un saludo

[TomasJimenezGuitar]

Not only is Paco Peña phenomenal technically but also and most important his music is so emotional and beautiful.

Thank you very much for putting this here.

Saludos

Tomás

[flamencowannabee]

I just could agree more with Jeffgothro. Paco Pena must be the best of the "traditional" flamenco players if I may call it that. Closely followed by Juan Serrrano and Juan Martin. Of course there are Paco de Lucia, Nino de Puro, Vicente Amigo, Tomatito etc who are all amazing players who are at the very top of flamenco playing in their style. I just wish that one day any of the above guys would come to New Zealand for a concert.

[privatecomment]

Very entertaining! Great Performer! I saw him in concert 15 years ago, it was amazing.

[Jeffgothro]

Thank you paco, Ive watched this at least 40 times now, it still brings tears to my eyes you and your woman friend are unreal, her looks are unmached by any woman and so is your playing, I look forward and cant wait to purchace you CD's, thanks!

[Jeffgothro]

I'm crying right now, and that aint easy to make do....that woman he's with is a goddesss, and the playing is off the hook, just unreal amazing, i never heard anything like this, he is doing stuff that shouldnt be possible. Seriously, its making cry, thats how beautiful it is.

[Jeffgothro]

WOW, JUST FUCKING WOW!

[SonsOfGod]

Porque es un guitarrista mecanico y la técnica de esa mecanica que usa está muy por debajo de lo que hoy ya la mayoría de guitarristas dominan. Y no hablamos de mí, estos son comentarios sobre un video de Paco Pena. Si pondría mis videos, tendría también que atenderme a posibles elogios pero también a posibles detractores.

[rspawn]

Paco Pena is obviously one of the very best, and there's great value in keeping alive the traditional roots of flamenco. But if everybody would only play traditional falsetas, flamenco would not be the living music that it is. At some point in the past these traditional falsetas were new and innovative.

[rspawn]

Come to think of it, i'm selling Paco short by suggesting he only plays traditional falsetas. Though obviously he does play in a traditional manner.

[SonsOfGod]

Que pena de guitarrista. Y sin la eñe, claro está.

[xavacs]

Por que, porque no te usta su estilo? eso no basta para decir que es una pena como guitarrista. O eres tu mejor acaso?

[gantock]

a ver, ese es de los buenos que quedan por alli, junto a monolo sanlucar - eso es puro

[christiandregabeti]

Where am I found parts or tabs ? Link me some parts/tabs please. I should want to play the fisrt piece.

[enzopellarini]

this is technically and musically astonishing. i just started to play flamenco guitar, but i hope i will be as good as these masters one day.

[vennfam]

Correct, Guitaria2!

[vennfam]

Typical Paco: absolutely a compas and - increasingly rare - the real thing. The alegrias is entirely traditional falsetas, which you will recognise if you have listened to the flamenco greats. As for Mantilla de Feria, a little quiz: who is it by and how do you tune the guitar to play it? Failure to answer the second question correctly has resulted in some of the most excruciating flamenco moments I have ever experienced.

Bob Venning

[Guitaria2]

6th string in D and 5th string in G, it's be Esteban de Sanlucar

[vonjibbly]

Magnificent. ¡Olé!

[Ulko777]

Bravo Fantastico It's so Real I love this!!!

[aleamb]

I think that first piece is "los veleros" included in "azahara", although it is not exactly equals

[extendedtrot]

Awesome. Fantastico que toque de guitarra!!!!

[gmihut]

This is the love of my life...it remember me my best time

of my life in Hialiah Florida USA ...years ago...Thanks Paco!

[daweiUtube]

Wow, how does he get that power into that triplet rasgueado! Ole!

[beachhutblues]

Just the best.

There is no better.

[Baransss]

Hasta Siempre Paco Pena !!!

[hari1981jpn]

sugoooooooooooooooooi! from bali-indonesia!

[Strunz21LEON]

me impresiona la limpieza al tocar,y no estoy seguro pero puse un video mio, tocando una guitarra que fue de paco pena, que creo estaba defectuosa por que no suena igual que cuando la tocaba paco Je je...

[Thomkath]

Una pieza muy bien tocada sin tanta velocidad en su ejecución que se disfruta ampliamente con mucho del flamenco de los tiempos de Melchor de Marchena, Niño Ricardo, Sabicas, etc y con otro tanto de la siguiente época de donde surge Paco Peña, Paco Cepero, Paco de Lucía, etc. -La mantilla la he escuchado con otros tocadores muy buenos como Mario Escudero y Paco de Lucía, pero esta tradicional pieza, a mi gusto muy personal suena mejor en la guitarra de Paco Peña.

[umpatel8]

i know the first song is an alegrias i was curious if anyone knows the actual name of it....many of paco's songs have different names (but usually list the form with it)

[petey604]

Anyone know what kind of guitar that is?I've seen many

"old school" players with them but I'm not sure if

all the guitars with the pegs are the same make.Any

help would be appreciated.Cheers!

[tmjcbs]

I don't know who built this particular guitar, but I do know Paco has played guitars made by Gerundino for many years (and perhaps still does)

[petey604]

Thanks to both of you.

[Vicky15vic]

Yes it is as saidthe guitar is by Gerundino---pegs are traditional and many makers have used them ans still do.

[Antoineacone]

THis is a handmade flamenco guitar. Very rare and very expensive. It is made the old fashion way.

[Y2H]

@petey604 Gerundiño Fernández of course!

[EnriqueC73]

A beautiful alegrias. Nice sabicas tremolo. If you like this you should check out Jose Antonio Rodriguez's Alegrias de cordoba on 'tesoros de la guitarra'.

[RenanTavora]

Both songs are great! Mantilla de feria... no words for that song.

[praetorius2]

man i love the tone of the guitar

[vasilypupkin]

Yes! Mantilla De Feria

[AndreiKrylov]

Beatiful!

[duendeflamenco1]

OMG great tremolo. i love the way he plays the compas with the rasgueos

[shroomy726]

The accent in Alegrias goes in the "i", not the "a".

[Vicky15vic]

Sí tienes razón, estoy mal de la vista y a veces casi ne veo el teclado.

Saludos

[Vicky15vic]

Alegriás played on album live in London at Queen Elizabeth Hall--- I play it too and can teach it.

Saludos

[umpatel8]

do you happen to have this alegrias in tab form?

[Vicky15vic]

I'm sorry I do not have it written--I never write the music down--sorry

[neolardo]

Teach me :) or link me some parts/tabs please

[shroomy726]

Keep 'em coming!! :-)

[spicyone]

alegrias indeed. thanks.

[deernardz]

I think the first piece is an alegria. Don't quote me on that, though. Great upload, thanks!

[tmjcbs]

If anybody knows what the first piece is - either the title or the style, I'd like to know

[Guitarwizard]

@tmjcbs definately in the style of the great Sabicas.
