The two best guitarists of the world
Better guitarists of all times
The gods of the guitar
they are Paco de Lucia and Al di Meola
The song consists of a relatively simple lyrical harmonic progression, adorned by a flamenco rhythm. However, it poses extreme difficulties to the performers, due to the speed and precision required of Di Meola's picking on the steel-stringed guitar, playing extremely long melodic phrases, and to Paco De Lucia's complex fingerpicking on the Flamenco guitar, as well as the exact matching of Di Meola and De Lucía's solos which frequently consist of them both playing a rapid set of matching or corresponding notes. They resort to many guitar performance techniques and fingerstyles, such as drumming guitar tops, strumming (both solo and together), bare thumb plucking, palm muting, tremolo picking, hammer-ons and pull-offs, sweep picking, shredding, vibratos and glissandos, among others, with remarkable results. The song, a rich combination of melody and rhythm, was an instant success.

  • Pacos Rythm is incredible! I heard first 1981 this album and was until today impressed about the difference style of Paco de Lucia and Al di Meola. But all three have an unbelievable Guitar-feeling! One of the best Albums ever made! Thomas
