Ive seen people trying to imitate this. They do a good job, but as a producer I have to recognise the little details that he puts in it. Apart from the unrivalled skill, there is a soul there that is totally unmatched. I suppose that is why he is the greatest of all times. Even in his generous duets with other greats, you can tell that he is holding back and even so, they look like they just wasted their lives.... What a mater this man was.
am not from Spain and since my childhood and my sense of the guitar I fell in love with Spain and my love for it increases as I grow up knowing that I did not see it, unfortunately... I love Paco de Lucia and its fine art🌍
Jefferson Barbosa sorry, but Yamandú Costa is way too young still to be compared to Paco, he is awesome and has an excellent technique and compose, but Paco is a beast and has 10 times more technique than yamandú, not to mention paco composed things out of his own period, like all the genius musicians done across the history.
Michael Halas I am sorry, but I don't think I can compare to him, not even close. I watch this video and others from the same program and just can't believe how great he was in every respect. This even beats his Teatro Real concert.
IF god exists, and I am a firm man who thinks he doesn't.... But then I watch this man. There is no equal. There is no comparison. There is no-one like him. He is divine in his skills and through true passion he projects pure pleasure to us. Rest in peace, Paco. Te seguiremos queriendo parar siempre.
Looking at him, by any rational standard, should make me want to just quit. But for some reason it's the opposite effect, where he always makes me want to play instead. It's like he has extra life force, and he shares it. Long live the king.
Su música y su arte son inmortales. Lamentablemente el maestro nos dejó un 25 de febrero de 2014 en Playa del Carmen, México a la temprana edad de 67 años.
Hoy hace cinco años que partiste de este mundo.Fuiste temprano,pero el recuerdo de tu lindo trabajo en el arte de la música,se quedará para siempre en los corazones de aquellos que amamos la bella y sublime música.Que Dios te bendiga siempre,Maestro de Algeciras.
When I first heard this song 30 years ago, I was absolutely convinced they had sped up the recording to make the performance more impressive. At the time, I didn't realize he had a capo on the first fret, and so the pitch difference from the way I (poorly) played it and the recording was all the proof I needed. A few years later, the thought of him using a cap popped in my head. But I tried playing it that way and the part at 1:58 ended up being so high up the neck that it was all but unplayable at anything but a snail's tempo. So, my conspiracy theory stayed alive for many years. Fast forward to today, when I finally found this video of him playing the song live, and there is no doubt. Man did land on the moon, and Paco was indeed super-human. It's not just the jaw dropping speed, it's the flawlessness, it's the amazing tone, it's his making it look so damn easy. Yes, yes. I've seen Grisha do this, and yes, he plays it almost as fast and almost as flawless. But Grisha sounds mechanical compared to Paco. He lacks the essence of Paco's playing, as he should. No one should or ever will duplicate Paco's playing.
+John Cortell About that last part, why not? it's pretty reasonable to say that no one will, but "No one should"? I would love it if another alien of his kind landed here in my lifetime
Call me nostalgic. There are many musicians who have put their mark in this world. Each has done so by being himself or herself and bringing something new, exciting and unique to the table--not trying to be a mirror image of a master that came before them.
John Cortell Yes and w all due respect to Grisha and his technical abilites...but he doesnt capture any essence or at least it never translates in his playing...he always sound robotic and dry when i see him play...Paco is a one of a kind...Paco Cepero...Antonio Rey....Tomatito....Nino Josele are also way above Grisha and countless other players...
For what it's worth, even if your "sped up recording" conspiracy theory was true, a one semitone increase in pitch would only result in 5% faster playback. That's not much of a difference in tempo, the original recording would still have to be impressive in its own right.
Paco is by far the greatest ever but I see and hear a lot of similarities in Antonio Rey who I consider to be the best currently, of course he was inspired by Paco as a lot of guitarist are but Antonio’s level of playing and feeling reminds me the most of Paco.
Es difícil imaginarse a alguien tocando la guitarra con esa seguridad tan total y apabullante y con semejante contundencia. Jamás volverá a haber otro igual, por bueno que sea.
Guajiras de Lucía, composed by Paco of course, may he rest in peace, is one of the most creative and vivid of all his performances. High precision and variants makes this masterpiece a treasure to enjoy forever
I would have Loved to have had the honour of seeing this man play live I always loved this song, and after many years on and off practice I learned to pkay it quite well...... But I'll never be able to play it quite like this. Amazing skill. R.I.P ❤
Es sencillamente enfermizo lo que hizo el maestro. Y concuerdo con uno de los que acá opinan. Yo estudie guitarra clásica y los logros que este hombre realizo en la guitarra con esas escalas endemoniadas, técnicas nuevas no solamente para el Flamenco sino la guitarra en cualquier genero en general son sublimes. Les doy un ejemplo. El dedo meñique desgraciadamente la academia no lo recomienda para la ejecución ya que se dice que es dependiente de las articulaciones del anular, pero Paco tiene compases en los que en su totalidad utiliza el meñique. Igualmente cuando el graba "Cositas Buenas" ya estaba depurando una nueva técnica del toque Flamenco con armonías y ligados sorprendentes y con el uso diferenciado de las cuerdas para no rasguear sino obtener sonidos diferentes en casi todos sus compases, parecía una orquesta, increíble. Así como la mezcla con otros instrumentos. Mucho de su crecimiento fue mantener las raíces de donde provenía e incluir la influencia entre otros del jazz y blue. También le gustaba escuchar música de otras latitudes para aprender de hecho estuvo hasta probando con música Celta, que recuerdo bien y hasta música Japonesa e Indú. Quien no recuerda su album "Dos Guitarras Flamencas en Latinoamerica", eso fue todo una locura y nos marco a muchos. El es el mejor guitarrista que he escuchado y será muy difícil que alguien lo supere es como el Paganini en el violín y sumele a eso que era compositor. Espectacular.
CUBANO VISITO AUSTRIA, ,soy aficionado a la cansion me aocmpaño a guitarra,, paco ojala y pueda llegar a ti lo mucho que significas para mi,seria un verdadero milagro poder estrechar tus manos , y en un abrazo dejarte dicho que desde niño amo tu genero , mis mejores juegos los apartaba para ver y aprender de ti tu magnifica digitacion, el sabor de tu composicion es maravillosamente perfecta,, sin contar con tus compaces inplacables con ese reloj dentro,, una perfecta maquina de percutir sonidos en el tiempo y esos silencios perfectos,en los que irrumpes con inesperados estruendos melodicos por decir tu elegantes arpegios que salen cabalgando atra vez del diapazon en tu guitarra.saludos magestad,, saludos PACO LUCIA " un amigo aficionado seguidor suyo. Ramon Antonio Quiñones Cutiño.(mongui)
Che fenomeno Paco!!! Quando ascolto Sabicas e la sua maestria dico che è il più grande; ascolto Paco Pena altro fenomeno , poi ascolto Paco e dico che è lui il Maradona della chitarra!!
i dont think people who havent learned this piece themself know how fast he is playing his impeccable technique makes it seem the pace is steady and calm because he plays each note metronome and technically perfect, but this pace is truly exhausting, it's insane.
Soy 100% metalero y así como yo muchos admiramos a este gran y extraordinario maestro de las 6 cuerdas...... larga vida Paco. Siempre estarás en nuestros corazones.
i still can wrap my head around how he makes it sound so damn good... I've been practicing this piece for months now but I can't recreate his sound even when I play 3x slower. What a legend, what a god...
Keep going as long as it takes. My teacher played it every night at Plaza Flamingo Toronto and he struggled too until mastery. Obviously he learned it 20 yrs or so before that. And the higher the skill the faster the uptake of songs.
@@cristianjimenez1000 thanks, im still going :D making small improvements every month, but the longer i train, the more little details i start to notice. It's those little details that seperate casual flamenco players from legends like Paco, learning his pieces made me appreciate him even more.
Guajiras de Lucia! or as I call it "The Spanish Guitar P.H.D. Flash Course"... All my life since I was a teenager I heard Paco play this masterpiece over and over, playing on my cassete tape, never undestanding how this human being could do that. This is the first time I see him actually performing it. What a pleassure! I did get to see hime live but he rarely played his "Guajiras de Lucia". Bravo Maestro!
I laugh in joy every time I watch this video because he is so insanely great. Those runs are precise, clean, and blindingly fast. So glad I got to see him perform live.
Paco ... gracias ... donde sea que estés ... en el cielo seguro .. tocándole feliz a dios tu guitarra seguro ... tu vida es un honor para el arte, El sonido, los conciertos y las grabaciones de Paco rinden homenaje a su padre, un hombre excepcionalmente visionario y verdaderamente revolucionario, que con tanto amor hizo de Paco un artista único y genial, similar a otros padres como Mozart, Beethoven ... La magia y el duende de paco provino de estudios autodidactas intensivos... su padre obligándole a ejecutar escalas y escalas... y tocar para comer... todo es gestar y luego parir dice Rilke,,, esos años de estudio durísimo le hicieron quien es... y su padre fue crucial... fue su voluntad... vivan los padres de los genios...la mitad del mérito es de ellos. Tiene la mezcla más difícil de todas, virtud y virtuosismo, es un poeta del instrumento. Paco no es solo un artista del más alto calibre, disciplina y musicalidad, sino el arquetipo del artista moderno, el maestro aislado y valiente, que encuentra su propio camino hacia nuevas alturas de expresión, sin importar los prejuicios o las barreras de incomprensión levantadas en su contra. Se encuentra solo al comienzo de una nueva época como un profeta, trazando los caminos que tomara el arte. El sonido catártico y místico de Paco, se ocupa por los últimos misterios que trascienden en este mundo. Su arte grandioso, colosal y majestuoso, simboliza la lucha del alma humana por encontrar la liberación de las ataduras de su cuerpo material. Su música exquisita y abrumadora continúa resonando durante toda el recital y más allá, por lo que la acción es a la vez momentánea, eterna y completa. Las interpretaciones de Paco son indescriptiblemente bellas e irresistibles. Su sonido es pura poesía y extremadamente emocional, pero sin sentimentalismos. Nos hipnotiza su nueva y radical naturalidad, su nobleza, dignidad, severidad y sobriedad; transportándonos a estados de asombro, éxtasis, meditación, amor y compasión. - Sonido y Silencio, Vida y Muerte, Tiempo y Espacio; colapsan en el momento Eterno del Infinitud. - Está al nivel de los mejores músicos interpretes de la historia como Maria Callas, Vladimir Horowitz, Ivo Pogorelich ... Paco podría haber haber coincidido con estos consejos del gran pianista Ivo Pogorelich... "Lucha y encuentra la sustancia, luego ve a las esferas superiores. La música te lleva a otro universo de eternidad que permanece contigo una vez finalizado el concierto. Lucha por conseguir calidad, profundiza ... encuentra el origen del sonido. La técnica no es solo ir rápida y lento ... es el sonido, el sonido largo, la paleta de colores, es entrar en un espacio de mundos diferentes, alcanzando la diversidad de los sonidos. Rachmaninov tenía artritis al final de su vida, estaba tan débil que su sonido era muy corto, por eso tocaba rápido, para llenar el vacío. Si tienes un sonido largo estás al mando y puedes lograr la claridad y el sonido hipnótico entre las notas. El problema siempre fue el conflicto y la diferencia entre la calidad absoluta y la relativa. La belleza en la música es como en los diamantes, el diamante más puro del mundo es el Koh-i-Noor, es la belleza absoluta con la que se comparan otros con relativa belleza. La mayoría de la música que pude escuchar fue solo un acto circense, ostentoso... de piezas virtuosas para pianistas jóvenes e inmaduros, fueron solo pruebas de destreza mecánica manual, no arte. Hay que adentrarse en el estado de ánimo psicológico en el que los compositores escribieron sus obras para descubrir sus secretos. Trabaja tan duro como un esclavo de galeras. No practico ejercicios. Cuando practico una pieza, hago algunas variaciones de ella, inventando mis propios ejercicios para ayudar en ese lugar particular preciso que necesito mejorar. La técnica es el arte de la variedad, el arte de saber cómo ajustar la mano a un grupo particular de notas para producir un sonido particular que se ajuste a las expectativas particulares del oído. El sonido se vuelve metafísico solo cuando se ha explorado completamente todas las posibilidades físicas. Deberías explorar hasta llegar al absurdo. Siempre se debe intentar en la medida de lo posible redescubrir la música como si la estuvieras escuchando por primera vez, buscando por todas partes nuevos significados y nuevas profundidades. La función más alta del artista es liberar la espiritualidad y la inmediatez emocional que se encuentran dentro de la partitura. Estar constantemente involucrado en la investigación, no solo miro las cosas como aparecen, sino que también trato de encontrar los laberintos, los secretos de la música. Una composición solo se puede interpretar bien si es completamente tuya, no solo cada nota de la memoria, sino que las notas se han convertido en ti y tu te has convertido en las notas. Nada pasa por casualidad. Llámalo una fuerza que algunas personas piensan que controla lo que sucede en el futuro, y está fuera del control humano, llámalo preordenación, pero a veces sucede. Después de todo, el elemento humano trae la felicidad total ". Ivo Pogorelich
tuve el placer de ver a Segovia, Cepero, Sanlucar, entre otros, y todos, con un gran esfuerzo, demuestran los artistazos que son, pero Paco, hay que echarle de comer aparte, y ademas, no se tiene ni que esforzar, simplemente, un genio
@@indaleciogil1189 Ni aùn con ellos. Paco en sus mejores tiempos no tenìa competencia. Con sabicas te creo. Hay un argentino llamado juanjo dominguez en sus mejores tiempos era un monstruo
La guitarra clásica requiere de una técnica , la flamenca require el duende, el compás y lo hondo,esto no se estudia en ninguna escuela,Paco podía tocar lo que Segovia con la misma dignidad, pero Segovia jamás podría tocar lo que Paco ,Ni el., ni nadie,con todos mis respetos ,por los grandes maestros..
Thank you for this video! Paco ,with his amazing technique and performance skills, has always been number one on my list of favorite guitarists. Rest in peace, maestro!
The only sad thing when you listen PL playing is that you are sure that no one can even do half that he did. He simply has no substitute on sight. I see good artists trying to play his pieces, but the gap between them and the master is as large as the galaxy… What a loss for mankind...
uitstekende prestaties en voor 1974 een heel goede opname, dank je wel om te delen!!! excellent performance and for '74 a very good recording, thank you for sharing!!!
No he just was talented and played thousands of hours plus experimented until he transformed flamenco itself. It's not superhuman, just a very rare event in human history.
About Paco and Grysha. Grysha is technically good. However, the big difference is that Grysha is Russian and Paco is Spanish (and Andalucian!). His father (and teacher) was a flamenco guitarrista. His brothers are also flamenco artists (singer and guitar player). Flamenco runs in his blood. On top of that, he probably was a kind of genious and certainly a hard worker (he used to play the guitar 12 hours a day when he was a 10-12 year old little boy!). Paco played the flamenco guitar like he breahed. Music just flows and his hands seem to move without any effort producing such precise and expressive melodies and rythm that it's simply incredible. His technique is beyond the reach of normal human beings! And emotion is always there. With age Paco became less proficient technically speaking, but this is normal. Good luck, Grysha. Maybe you should go to Algeciras and spend the rest of your life there. :-)
Please tell me who... I'm dieing to find out who is colossally better. I've been a flamenco guitarist for 25 years and haven't found anyone better than De Lucia.
first, i am in no way saying that Lucia is any worse than the best i've always been the type of player who doesn't think there's any such thing. that having been said, one thing above raw natural talent that separated him from other flamenco guitarists, is that Lucia was fascinated with improvisational styles of guitar, jazz in particular, and was even brought to sit in on sessions with some jazz greats like Corea. I'm not sure if you've ever heard the name before, but about 40 years before he was born there was a jazz guitarist named Django Reinhardt, and interestingly enough, though the core genre of each is exceedingly different, it is obvious to a musician with a good ear that they both possessed an inexplicable ability to create something out of that empty space between bars, that somehow managed to be more than simply filling in, you'll know what I mean, but they are both equally legendary in my book.
Will Bann Yes Django is a great, even possibly the greatest in his Genre, but I don't know why my error was colossally inaccurate? Maybe you could share some recordings with me that proves Django to be a better or equal guitarist?
the joke is that little Paco wanted to be a singer. His father told him, that there is no money for visiting school and forced him instead to exercise guitar for long hours daily. That was the basis for his incredible technique (same happened to young Paganini).
E visto cientos de ejecuciones de esta pieza legendaria y nadie parece llevarla al paso como la lleva Paco. Cada cambio va intensificandose con picados hasta alcanzar la velocidad de la luz y el universo Creo que Grisha Gorvachev esta bastante cerca pero jamas como al Duende del flamenco tradicional y moderno el gran maestro Paco de Lucia.

Toco perfectamente de principio a fin… era un reloj suizo Paco de Lucía.. de otro planeta 🌍
This is quite simply stunning. His control, musicality, technique and sheer soul. Unmatchable.
Best guitarist in history.... And you still forever...
He's the Maradona of guitar. A genius that comes along once in a lifetime.

Not remotely comparable! Anyway, Yamandu is a great musician, really like his work..

I saw Paco live, shook his hand, got his autograph!! Only person close to playing in Pacos' league is Grisha Goryachev
Michael Halas I am sorry, but I don't think I can compare to him, not even close. I watch this video and others from the same program and just can't believe how great he was in every respect. This even beats his Teatro Real concert.
I feel so honored that Grisha himself commented on this :-)
IF god exists, and I am a firm man who thinks he doesn't.... But then I watch this man. There is no equal. There is no comparison. There is no-one like him.

tienes toda la razon......uno no sabe que decir ante tal dominio y perfeccion.

Paco no es solo un artista del más alto calibre, disciplina y musicalidad, sino el arquetipo del artista moderno, el maestro aislado y valiente, que encuentra su propio camino hacia nuevas alturas de expresión, sin importar los prejuicios o las barreras de incomprensión levantadas en su contra. Se encuentra solo al comienzo de una nueva época como un profeta, trazando los caminos que tomara el arte.
El sonido catártico y místico de Paco, se ocupa por los últimos misterios que trascienden en este mundo.

Nos hipnotiza su nueva y radical naturalidad, su nobleza, dignidad, severidad y sobriedad; transportándonos a estados de asombro, éxtasis, meditación, amor y compasión.
- Sonido y Silencio, Vida y Muerte, Tiempo y Espacio; colapsan en el momento Eterno del Infinitud. -
Está al nivel de los mejores músicos interpretes de la historia como Maria Callas, Vladimir Horowitz, Ivo Pogorelich ...
Paco podría haber haber coincidido con estos consejos del gran pianista Ivo Pogorelich...
"Lucha y encuentra la sustancia, luego ve a las esferas superiores.
La música te lleva a otro universo de eternidad que permanece contigo una vez finalizado el concierto.
Lucha por conseguir calidad, profundiza ... encuentra el origen del sonido.
La técnica no es solo ir rápida y lento ... es el sonido, el sonido largo, la paleta de colores, es entrar en un espacio de mundos diferentes, alcanzando la diversidad de los sonidos.
Rachmaninov tenía artritis al final de su vida, estaba tan débil que su sonido era muy corto, por eso tocaba rápido, para llenar el vacío.
Si tienes un sonido largo estás al mando y puedes lograr la claridad y el sonido hipnótico entre las notas.
El problema siempre fue el conflicto y la diferencia entre la calidad absoluta y la relativa.
La belleza en la música es como en los diamantes, el diamante más puro del mundo es el Koh-i-Noor, es la belleza absoluta con la que se comparan otros con relativa belleza.
La mayoría de la música que pude escuchar fue solo un acto circense, ostentoso... de piezas virtuosas para pianistas jóvenes e inmaduros, fueron solo pruebas de destreza mecánica manual, no arte.
Hay que adentrarse en el estado de ánimo psicológico en el que los compositores escribieron sus obras para descubrir sus secretos.
Trabaja tan duro como un esclavo de galeras.
No practico ejercicios.
Cuando practico una pieza, hago algunas variaciones de ella, inventando mis propios ejercicios para ayudar en ese lugar particular preciso que necesito mejorar.
La técnica es el arte de la variedad, el arte de saber cómo ajustar la mano a un grupo particular de notas para producir un sonido particular que se ajuste a las expectativas particulares del oído.
El sonido se vuelve metafísico solo cuando se ha explorado completamente todas las posibilidades físicas. Deberías explorar hasta llegar al absurdo.
Siempre se debe intentar en la medida de lo posible redescubrir la música como si la estuvieras escuchando por primera vez, buscando por todas partes nuevos significados y nuevas profundidades.
La función más alta del artista es liberar la espiritualidad y la inmediatez emocional que se encuentran dentro de la partitura.
Estar constantemente involucrado en la investigación, no solo miro las cosas como aparecen, sino que también trato de encontrar los laberintos, los secretos de la música.
Una composición solo se puede interpretar bien si es completamente tuya, no solo cada nota de la memoria, sino que las notas se han convertido en ti y tu te has convertido en las notas.
Nada pasa por casualidad. Llámalo una fuerza que algunas personas piensan que controla lo que sucede en el futuro, y está fuera del control humano, llámalo preordenación, pero a veces sucede.
Después de todo, el elemento humano trae la felicidad total ".
Ivo Pogorelich
This song is even better when you can see Paco do his Thing.
Is not a song, is a “palo flamenco”
Cuanto talento en una sola persona. Grande mestro!
tuve el placer de ver a Segovia, Cepero, Sanlucar, entre otros, y todos, con un gran esfuerzo, demuestran los artistazos que son, pero Paco, hay que echarle de comer aparte, y ademas, no se tiene ni que esforzar, simplemente, un genio
Eduardo rodriguez-torralba
Andres Segovia no tenia nada que ver. En todo caso cabria compararle con Willians, Romero, Bean, Rusell, etc.
@@indaleciogil1189 Ni aùn con ellos. Paco en sus mejores tiempos no tenìa competencia. Con sabicas te creo. Hay un argentino llamado juanjo dominguez en sus mejores tiempos era un monstruo
La guitarra clásica requiere de una técnica , la flamenca require el duende, el compás y lo hondo,esto no se estudia en ninguna escuela,Paco podía tocar lo que Segovia con la misma dignidad, pero Segovia jamás podría tocar lo que Paco ,Ni el., ni nadie,con todos mis respetos ,por los grandes maestros..
legends never die./*..........*/ live for ever

Es infernal lo que tocaba Paquito...que genio,q y que sabiduria y humildad
Violão virtuoso e com vibração. Um gênio extraordinário que possuía um extremo bom gosto!
Paco de lucia imortal gênio
Inigualable.
Viéndolo en Cádiz, en la plaza Fragela. Esperando un par de pizzas de La Bella Italia. Paco eterno. Julio 2024.
Como te extrañamos querido Paco.
Divinely gifted. RIP.
Artista e executante exímio, como sempre.
Complete control of every string.
Thank you for this video! Paco ,with his amazing technique and performance skills, has always been number one on my list of favorite guitarists. Rest in peace, maestro!
La obra del maestro es espectacular
La música en general se quitó el sombrero ante su guitarra
The only sad thing when you listen PL playing is that you are sure that no one can even do half that he did. He simply has no substitute on sight. I see good artists trying to play his pieces, but the gap between them and the master is as large as the galaxy… What a loss for mankind...
From iv read, DeLucia has said his father
demanded he and his brother practice
several hrs a day. This is the result.
Amazing.
There's several people that can play his music
The closest is grisha goryachev, especially in almoraima, it was almost a replica of paco
@@maxquad6846 from 10-12 hrs a day
@@afshara100 grisha has a good tecnique, but he has no feel while playing. Nothing compared to El Maestro
genial don paco, genial como siempre.
Imagine, he composed this piece when he was 15 ?!
When I die, I wanna go on the Planet where Paco lives, nothing more or less. Kizo de Croatia.
Best player in history
uitstekende prestaties en voor 1974 een heel goede opname,
dank je wel om te delen!!!
excellent performance and for '74 a very good recording,
thank you for sharing!!!
How come a human being can play like this? Well, I guess he wasn't really a human being, he was a god, a god of guitar.
No he just was talented and played thousands of hours plus experimented until he transformed flamenco itself.
It's not superhuman, just a very rare event in human history.
Of course he wasn't. This is just a manner of expressing admiration for what he did.
ok :)
I totally agree
Precioso
Viva Paco!!!
Ole 😮
Look, he is someone th..... To hell with it. Just the most god of all guitars of all time.
Playing picado with the left hand in a barre position. Insane!
Actually is easier to play the picado with a barre position, at least to me, but that speed of Paco is really insane, and the song is a jewel
my best piece ever... exceptional music..
Viva Paco por Siempre!!!
Unbelievable, Bravo Maestro
Que maravilla,como toca la guitarra.
0:11 there you go
About Paco and Grysha.
Grysha is technically good. However, the big difference is that Grysha is Russian and Paco is Spanish (and Andalucian!). His father (and teacher) was a flamenco guitarrista. His brothers are also flamenco artists (singer and guitar player). Flamenco runs in his blood. On top of that, he probably was a kind of genious and certainly a hard worker (he used to play the guitar 12 hours a day when he was a 10-12 year old little boy!).
Paco played the flamenco guitar like he breahed. Music just flows and his hands seem to move without any effort producing such precise and expressive melodies and rythm that it's simply incredible. His technique is beyond the reach of normal human beings! And emotion is always there. With age Paco became less proficient technically speaking, but this is normal.
Good luck, Grysha. Maybe you should go to Algeciras and spend the rest of your life there. :-)
😮¡Increíble!
paco y sabicas los genios.
Y Sanlúcar???
🙏🙏🙏🙏!
Thank you very much soleadream
Straordinario
como pueden haber 8 personas a las cuales no les guste esto!!!!!
731Carlitos deben ser macristas
Yup, Paco is a true monster. That right hand could level Tokyo. A god if there ever was one.
Gracias soleadream, menudo regalo nos has dejado... Pa´ chuparse los dedos!!!!!
Alucinante
genio y maestro.
Never heard anything like 0:12. Just will never be equalled.
Andy M It's really impressive!
Andy M so pure clean and powerfull it doesent exist the same
Andy M I may never understand what exactly happened there but I had been repeating a couple of times.
"a man of these occurs once every century" said a man un spain
Increíble, el mejor !!!
*Olé!! Bravo!*
I love it!
RIP the best guitarist to date.
so colossally inaccurate...
Will Bann he had an equal in talent as well as composition, i can't differentiate the two, they both blow my fucking mind
Please tell me who... I'm dieing to find out who is colossally better. I've been a flamenco guitarist for 25 years and haven't found anyone better than De Lucia.
first, i am in no way saying that Lucia is any worse than the best i've always been the type of player who doesn't think there's any such thing.
that having been said, one thing above raw natural talent that separated him from other flamenco guitarists, is that Lucia was fascinated with improvisational styles of guitar, jazz in particular, and was even brought to sit in on sessions with some jazz greats like Corea.
I'm not sure if you've ever heard the name before, but about 40 years before he was born there was a jazz guitarist named Django Reinhardt, and interestingly enough, though the core genre of each is exceedingly different, it is obvious to a musician with a good ear that they both possessed an inexplicable ability to create something out of that empty space between bars, that somehow managed to be more than simply filling in, you'll know what I mean, but they are both equally legendary in my book.
Will Bann Yes Django is a great, even possibly the greatest in his Genre, but I don't know why my error was colossally inaccurate? Maybe you could share some recordings with me that proves Django to be a better or equal guitarist?
the joke is that little Paco wanted to be a singer. His father told him, that there is no money for visiting school and forced him instead to exercise guitar for long hours daily. That was the basis for his incredible technique (same happened to young Paganini).
Gracias Paco de Lucia!
G.O.A.T.
E visto cientos de ejecuciones de esta pieza legendaria y nadie parece llevarla al paso como la lleva Paco. Cada cambio va intensificandose con picados hasta alcanzar la velocidad de la luz y el universo Creo que Grisha Gorvachev esta bastante cerca pero jamas como al Duende del flamenco tradicional y moderno el gran maestro Paco de Lucia.
