Rdutch 0 #1 May 13, 2004 Little do people know, especially the ones that deal with the Pantera ect I play in the hanger. Im a huge fan of Spanish style quitar. I have played guitar for over 20 years, and now if I pick up a guitar, the main thing I play is flamenco. Weird being in bands from thrash to speed metal, to rock, weirder that I never play guitar in front of people anymore. I was a once Yngwie clone but now I like to tone it down, and I really want nothing to do with an amp. MY favorite quitar is a nylon string guitar I love the sound, and the feel. That said, I have been searching for something new to listen to, for inspiration. I love Al Dimolea, and the acoustic Vinnie Moore stuff, as well as Santana's stuff. Anyone have any recomendations to some real Spanish Flamenco quitar out there, bands, songs ect. Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest #6 May 13, 2004 Sharon Isbin. In her youth, she was tutored by Segovia himself! Give a listen to her album "Dreams of a World" (Grammy Winner). It's not Flamenco, but it's pure classical guitar style (and she's VERY easy on the eyes, too! ) mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

skytrixaz 0 #8 May 13, 2004 Flamenco has three different elements: dance (baile), song (cante) and, of course, the intense guitar (guitarra). I trained with a Flamenco dance company in Houston for many years. Contemporary Flamenco, which may irk many Flamenco purist, has been infused with Latin, Salsa, and Western styles. Growing up as a child, my father played the "traditional" Flamenco. As an adult, I enjoy the Contemporary Flamenco. Both to me are beautiful. Have you heard Jesse Cook (Canadian) and Otmar Liebert (German)? ~g Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John4455 0 #9 May 13, 2004 If you haven't already, you gotta check this guy out. He plays classical guitar but he also does classical versions of rock songs. He does a classical guitar version of Bohemain Rapsody. You would love this. http://www.edgarcruz.com/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/artist/glance/-/208679/ref=m_art_dp/002-3574311-4028804 How do ya like it Johnny?

nacmacfeegle 0 #10 May 13, 2004 "Anyone have any recomendations to some real Spanish Flamenco quitar out there, bands, songs ect." Try and check out music by Joaquin Rodrigo, the composer (not renowned as a performer) of the fairly famous Guitar Concertos aka the Concierto de Aranjuez. Its fairly popular so should be easy to find in the 'classical' section of your music store, or as MP3. I like it and it helps me chill.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

lawrocket 3 #14 May 13, 2004 Well, Andres Segovia is da man! Also, the gypsy Kings just came out with a new album. If you want some nice stuff, try Ottmar Liebert. This dude is a cat out of Albuquerque New Mexico who just does some wonderful stuff (nice makeout music - chicks dig it). He's got nice backing and smooth solo spanish guitar that is deceptively easy to play yourself. Brilliant, simple and great. My wife is hotter than your wife.

mirochristie 0 #20 May 16, 2004 Azúcar Moreno is a spanish duo, their music is Flamenco. Maybe some of the shows of Joaquín Cortés (the flamenco dancer) in dvd may have in the credits names of the groups that played in it.
