There are no tricks being used in this brilliant performance. A few camera flaws perhaps (as in blocking his hands) but it is quite obvious to me that Mr. Hoppstock is a modern day genius and it is wonderful to see him perform with such incredible speed and passion...Jack Baker NYC
It is called Classical music... It takes real musicians to play such high and complicated octaves. These interpretation is from Andalucia, Spain. The Music was rendered by one of the best World Classical Guitar players: Paco de Andalucia and cuban composer Leo Brouwer
@szirm79 he plays it just fine although he doesn't use picado though which can explain why its not as loud when he does runs. in addition the strings are too are probably too high on his guitar so its much harder to the golpe above the strings
Paco is my Hero too... but come on this guy rocked that song out! i am glad he did not play it exactly as Paco does.. he made it his own version.. as every one should when performing.
I have a CD of yours that you made in 1992 called: "Werke Fur Gitarre." You are a fantastic guitarist even back then...Do you play any South American composers besides Villa-Lobos?
Rest in peace Paco.Thanks for giving us Taranta,one of the most powerful flamenco tunes ever heard.
me encanta sobre todo como mueve la cabeza para los lados ^^

It's annoying that the sheet music is hiding his right hand.
