I heard that this man died of cancer. May such a talented Musician rest in peace, and may we be thankful we have such a profound piece of his legacy with us today.
Yes, unfortunately Ben lost that battle (he had been in terrible pain before he passed). He gifted us with this and all the other posts he did thru the years, I come back to this on a lot, it was the essence of his broad range of styles. He is now with all the musical Angels that have passed thru man’s time as a sentient being. It is well worth your time exploring his other YT posts. Peace to you ✌️👏
@@osman01003 this technique takes years to practice. im a very dedicated competitive player, and you can for fun look up cs 1.6 bhop by topovyigus for example. i also play guitar since almost 20 years, with big breaks in between. last few years im focusing on ewan dobson songs, and the mechanics, and techniques require to learn are crazy. every part has its own rythm, and flow, feel. i think this is why i also come here often, and listen to this song! very dynamic, and the techniques are interesting to just observe with my eagle eyes.
I know what you're talking about... I love Rock and I play electric guitar but I'm UNABLE to play properly classical Spanish guitar tunes. That's beyond average guitar enthusiasts like me.
I'm just in love with flamenco. I think I've intvented something new to this type of music. ruclips.net/video/oPsvJE6NJ5w/видео.html please comment what could have been done better. Thanks for subscribing.

Holy shit, I had no idea this guy had passed. I've been listening to his music and showing this video to people for years, but I never bothered checking the comments. Man that hurts.
The man with the magic fingers, one of the most legendary guitarists of all time, the late and the irreplaceable BEN WOODS everyone. Enjoy the master guitarist in his element. ❤❤❤❤ Rest in heaven 🎸
My roomate, bandmate and best friend. I’ll ALWAYS miss you bro. Thank you for everything you taught me, and for all this legacy you’ve left for all to experience. Forever in my heart… -U
You have my utmost sincerest condolences. I know you're hurting. Apart from being an exceptionally talented musician, he was just a wonderful down-to-earth guy.
You are reminding me my father. 1st you just looking like him but 2nd he showed me that video. He was playing guitar more than 20 years. My dad passed away few months ago, he was 48yo. Greetings from Poland to you my friend.
Sorry to hear about your pops passing at such an early age. God chooses his children at any given time. We have to appreciate what time we do have here and make it the best. Rest in Peace to your father.
Good lord im sorry to hear that your dad passed away you must be 15 or something, just care of you and your fam bro, This world is a dangerous place -Random guy on the internet and the world
@Duck Some Vivadi compositions would perfectly fit as a distorted guitar solo, there's even a metal subgenre called neoclassical metal. Apart from baroque some Mozart compositions such as Dies Irae sound very metal
@Duck I'm not into Corey Taylor to be honest, althought I like metal that deals with anger, most of my free time I'm listening to neoclassical, folk and Symphonic Metal
My wife and I were fortunate enough to sit a few feet away as Ben performed in Bozeman, Montana several years ago. I felt blessed to have been able to see him live, but in light of his untimely passing I feel even moreso. RIP Ben. You made me a better player and I will dedicate my next live performance to you. :(
Most impressive. My father, Caio Domingues, who was Brazilian, had one of the biggest collections of Flamenco music in Brazil, about 1,500 LPs and coutless rolls of magnetic tape he played in his Revox reel-to-reel. For the last 25 or 30 years of his life, he went to a Flamenco festival in Cordoba, Spain in the month of May, where he amassed most of his records. He also became personal friends with the legendary dancer Antonio Ruiz Soler, who dined in our home every year in the 1960's when he toured with his troupe and came to Rio, where we lived. Back then, as a small child, I had no idea how important he was, despite attending every presentation of his at the Municipal Theater in Rio, the fanciest concert hall in the ciuntry back then, I only knew he and I were born on the same day of the year, November 4.
I cant, and have never understood this mindset. I know youre joking but anytime i see someone better than me on guitar i become motivated to practice more. If i was the best guitarist in the world then i would probably get bored.
tiene pasion, tiene un rumbo, tiene profundidad, al escucharla se puede palpar el nivel de profesionalismo, y delicadeza, es facil, escuchar una historia de este interprete sin que diga ni una sola palabra.. eso es lo que se busca realmente en un musico.
I'm sure you won't see this, but this is a master piece. You've inspired me to pick up my late grandfather spanish guitar and work on my finger picking. And now I can't stop playing, it's been at least a month since I touched a pick or electric guitar.
Hey Ben ! I'm from IRAN and i use a Vpn proxy to break the censorship and can see your videos... I love your flametal works. I think that it needs a very good knowledge of both styles and you did it very well in "Heavy melow" album... I think that you merit a tribune better than the youtube.
Fuck all the governments that forbid their citizen to enjoy music! Have you ever listened to Armik, by the way? One of the best composers and guitarists IMO in genre of Nuevo Flamenco (I literally grew up on his music) - he was born in Iran and had to leave his motherland because of that damned islamic revolution, as the music he liked to perform had become forbidden there.
Few years ago had the opportunity to see the amazing Ben Woods with his band Flametal supporting Uli Roth and Tony McAlpine at the Metro in Oakland CA. Further, Jason Becker was in attendance. I just learned that Ben had been battling cancer and passed. May God watch over his family and friends. Thanks Ben for sharing your talent.
I come back to Ben's videos for inspiration. He's the reason I started playing guitar. Such a talented artist and musician that was taken from the world too early.
Coming back to this video to first hear of this mans passing. Truly a master of the guitar, seeing the way he plays is so inspiring and empowering, truly an ode to the human spirit and ability. Rest in peace ❤
1:08 it learned that part from watching this video and it took me months to perfect it I came back to revisit this I can’t believe he’s gone. Rest easy Ben🤍
I 'm training this music, Its very dificult to play, i'm not musician, but after a long time trainning now i can play about 50% only watching this vídeo. I will learn it. This music is fantastic. I am listen to this music every week. Ben woods your style is impressive. There are a lot of tecnics tha i never see or use in my life. I'm in love with flamenco! Thank you!
A TRUE GENUINE GENIUS, and a genius TALENT lost to our world. Rest in peace Dear Maestro Ben. You will have my sincerest respect as a guitarist-performer --- always and forever. 🤎
this is in the spirit of flamenco but its not flamenco. flamenco has its own rhythmic structures "palos" and as ben explained even the there is a palo called malagueña its totaly different than what americans think of. beautiful video and incredible playing, top notch, but if you want to see flamenco look up moraíto chico or diego de amparo. you'll see theres more rhythmic play
True many guitarist have interpreted Malagueña but it was not a guitar song to begin with. Ernesto Lecuona a Cuban jazz pianist originally composed this song. Very few people know this and very few guitarists play it how Ernesto Lecuona wrote it. Excellent job Ben!
Michael Battista the moog Transcription that is based on the original piano version is so good my dad and I based our versions off the piano and moog one. Pepe Romero did it great tho

Ahhhg! Man… I would watch him all the time, and when he would teach and give you points to how to get into this style, and man.. I always loved flamenco music, but he made it seem so close and in your grasp, just practice. 😢 miss this man. I didn’t know he passed until a few weeks ago. It’s just very saddening, much love and condolences to everyone. His teaching and music will live on. He is just one of a kind.
This guy makes it look like i could pick up a guitar and just start wiggling my fingers all over the place and mystical melodies will come out... If only... If only i could make my fingers create the sounds my mind can come up with.
Ben, I've played guitar my whole life. This is the best video I've seen. Outstanding. The last time I felt this way was when my guitar teacher used to play when I was just a kid and I was in awe like it was magic. Since I've learned guitar and know it's all about practise and not so much magic (well maybe a little bit of magic), a lot doesn't impress me like it used to. This should have a billion views Lmao
@@asummersquash Nice, I still prefer this version even over the original.. Yet they're all great in their own rights. In my experience, music isn't about comparing one artist to the next, it's more about how any piece of music makes you feel on an individual level. Thanks for sharing and much love!
WOW! I have Finally found this song that my father used to play self taught by ear!! ( He passed away 2007 ) I have been looking forever for the name of this and Loved it when he played it!! I Loved how it starts out slower and then speeds up!❤
I was just looking up different styles of spanish/latin music and this actually made me tear up. I play guitar and for me it is my favorite instrument. Gracias Spain for inventing such a beautiful instrument!!
My piano student is playing an easy arrangement of this song, but I asked that he watch a Flamenco guitarist to hear the magic of this song. Love this arrangement and your playing is incredible. BRAVO!
im still crying after his death. I cant believe it Ben. You were my best role model andd I always wanted to meet you but I never got the chance. I will miss you a lot. 😢🎸🙏
Pero si toca fatal... Se nota que no tiene ni idea de manejar la guitarra flamenca La gente se piensa que si dominas la guitarra eléctrica puedes dominar cualquier otra 😂 Nada más lejos de la realidad El propio paco de Lucía en una entrevista le preguntaron que como el podría sorprender a un norteamericano con su técnica de guitarra Y el automáticamente contesto que para sorprender a un neófito nada más se necesita hacer escalas 😂😂 Con eso lo dijo todo.
This video was the first one I saw on your channel, like three or four years ago, I was a beginner and during all this time I practised thinking one day I might play like you RIP Ben, you were and you will stay my guitar figure, the guy who developped my passion for the flamenco guitar ❤
Les escuche el verano pasado, delante del mercado de Cádiz, en frente del edificio de correos. De una enorme generosidad compartir todo un recital con el público que por allí pasábamos❤. Casi una hora estuvimos escuchándoles. Me alegra saber que arte y música en las calles🎉. No pasa en todos sitios o cada vez se ve menos😢
1st song on guitar I ever learned back in the 1950's after hearing Florian Zebach's 100-Pc. Orchestra play it on the radio while I pretended to be sick at home from 5th grade. If you ever get a chance to hear that... DO!! A few years ago I caught Pepe Romero play it on a stage with the Canadian Philharmonic in Dallas. And now, hearing you, I must say, as Howard Roberts would have most certainly decreed: "Strong!!" THANKS!! Extraordinary! Really!!
she has passion, she has a direction, she has depth, listening to her you can feel the level of professionalism, and delicacy, it's easy, to listen to a story of this interpreter without saying a single word... that's what you really look for in a musician.

I think of it more like a song that is all grand finale
Well, it's the sixth part of an entire suite.
OnesComplement yeah I’m like WHY DIDNT YOU PLAY A A MINOR CHORD AT THE END
OnesComplement he uses mainly E major and F major
Ben, I've played guitar my whole life. This is the best video I've seen. Outstanding. The last time I felt this way was when my guitar teacher used to play when I was just a kid and I was in awe like it was magic. Since I've learned guitar and know it's all about practise and not so much magic (well maybe a little bit of magic), a lot doesn't impress me like it used to. This should have a billion views Lmao
You should listen to Paco de Lucía
ruclips.net/video/xpRgR-tZEpk/видео.html this guy did an interpretation of the same piece and o think it is better than this one by a lot
Even the creator of this video leaves a comment saying so
@@asummersquash Nice, I still prefer this version even over the original.. Yet they're all great in their own rights. In my experience, music isn't about comparing one artist to the next, it's more about how any piece of music makes you feel on an individual level. Thanks for sharing and much love!
@@TheDaiusi F**ken ay well said mate.
WOW! I have Finally found this song that my father used to play self taught by ear!! ( He passed away 2007 ) I have been looking forever for the name of this and Loved it when he played it!! I Loved how it starts out slower and then speeds up!❤
I was just looking up different styles of spanish/latin music and this actually made me tear up. I play guitar and for me it is my favorite instrument. Gracias Spain for inventing such a beautiful instrument!!
No te ralles, que parte de nuestra cultura, como español que soy te digo que viene de árabes, así que gracias a los países árabes XD
R.I.P Ben Woods, thank you for all this amazing interpretation, I enjoyed every single one
This is probably the most faithful flemenco interpretation to the original on youtube. Gives master pianist a run for their money. Absolutely awesome.
This man is the Pathfinder of modern Flamenco world💪💪

GLAD TO KNOW I WASNT THE ONLY ONE HEARING IT!
I watched this at night. Upon waking up I couldn't find my guitar. Seems like it left home last night.
My piano student is playing an easy arrangement of this song, but I asked that he watch a Flamenco guitarist to hear the magic of this song. Love this arrangement and your playing is incredible. BRAVO!
I am Spanish, I have heard this song by great artists several times, but the quality of this man is simply inhuman, the best version so far.
keep on listening you can find better...
Metal: I invented shredding
Flamenco: Bruh
Beethoven*
Flamenco: Who am I to you?
This is not flamenco -_-
Baroque: Pardon me.
paganini
im still crying after his death. I cant believe it Ben. You were my best role model andd I always wanted to meet you but I never got the chance. I will miss you a lot. 😢🎸🙏
I played it over and over again..and I drifted away.. this fingerstyle is another dimension..it's amazing.
I am Spanish and those guitar notes touch my heart.
Pero si toca fatal...
Se nota que no tiene ni idea de manejar la guitarra flamenca
La gente se piensa que si dominas la guitarra eléctrica puedes dominar cualquier otra 😂
Nada más lejos de la realidad
El propio paco de Lucía en una entrevista le preguntaron que como el podría sorprender a un norteamericano con su técnica de guitarra
Y el automáticamente contesto que para sorprender a un neófito nada más se necesita hacer escalas 😂😂
Con eso lo dijo todo.
@@davidojedamartinez97Estás diciendo qué hay mejores que tocan la malagueña que el?
This video was the first one I saw on your channel, like three or four years ago, I was a beginner and during all this time I practised thinking one day I might play like you
RIP Ben, you were and you will stay my guitar figure, the guy who developped my passion for the flamenco guitar ❤
buen viaje amigo genial. y gracias.
I love the "Learn it here" in the descripcion, i mean, im human bro
@hans meier 00 minutos jb
RIP Maestro Ben Woods!
I dare you to play a harder song than this, it’s called “Chicken in the Corn.”
Ahhh another man of great quality
I see you are also a man of culture
Men of taste, i see
Huzza! A man of quality!
Pooh, great culture people
No sabía que el autor de este vídeo había muerto. Descanse en Paz. Espero que esté tocando la guitarra allá donde esté.
Doesn't the beginning sounds like the Russian "kalinka"? Check it))
it does XD
true was the same tho like kalinka XD
Yesss!!
Yep
Flaminka
Les escuche el verano pasado, delante del mercado de Cádiz, en frente del edificio de correos. De una enorme generosidad compartir todo un recital con el público que por allí pasábamos❤. Casi una hora estuvimos escuchándoles. Me alegra saber que arte y música en las calles🎉. No pasa en todos sitios o cada vez se ve menos😢
This felt like magic, the exact feeling when I listened my teacher’s playing the first lesson 😁
1st song on guitar I ever learned back in the 1950's after hearing Florian Zebach's 100-Pc. Orchestra play it on the radio while I pretended to be sick at home from 5th grade. If you ever get a chance to hear that... DO!! A few years ago I caught Pepe Romero play it on a stage with the Canadian Philharmonic in Dallas. And now, hearing you, I must say, as Howard Roberts would have most certainly decreed: "Strong!!" THANKS!! Extraordinary! Really!!
thank you Ben. my father would have loved your style and performance. as I do.
she has passion, she has a direction, she has depth, listening to her you can feel the level of professionalism, and delicacy, it's easy, to listen to a story of this interpreter without saying a single word... that's what you really look for in a musician.
People don't understand... it's takes a lot and a lot of time and dedication to master a musical instrument...Great piece of work ❤️
I'm pretty sure everyone understands this.
Day 2 of SimplyGuitar
Rest in peace, my brother... you will be missed.
Che piacere 😊
Il flamenco è vivo e c'è ancora chi lo suona con l'estro necessario.
Grazie maestro🙏😊
