He was such an incredible legend that will go on to inspire many generations to come! I wish I would have known about him so much sooner! Such an incredible icon of not only Flamenco but the guitar in general!
I'm a metalhead from Spain. And it's a pleasure to see another metalhead enjoy with the great and unique Paco de Lucía. He's the guitar, and the guitar is him.
I had the privilege to meet him backstage back in 1995. Very soft spoken guy and his hands were soft and supple when I got to shake hands with him. I brought my homemade cajon with me and played it for him, he remarked “he makes it sing with his FOOT!” because I was using my left foot to change the pitch of the cajon. He was impressed and his cajon player started doing it the next night. Now it’s a pretty common technique. I figured it out through trial and error way back then. Paco was the real deal-loved playing and loved hearing innovative ideas. I was so glad to have met him and to be able to play a little cajon for him. He gave me an affirming nod and smile, and walked away. I later got him and his entire sextet to sign the cajons I made.
That is incredible you got to meet with him! I have seen Cajón's being used more and more in the past 10 years. A lot of street performers use them as well. I was thinking about making one myself and have actually been looking into how they are made...
@@TheKillogicEffect As a side note, Paco is recognized for bring the cajon to flamenco and into concert music. Practically "invented" it for the public after seen it played in Perú. So makes a lot of sense this interaction and his reaction.
@@MaxCarponera and he was also very insisting in that the cajón was from perú, he said that when he heard it for the same time he knew that was the instrument flamenco needed as at the time bongos was the norm
I've followed and loved Paco's art for over 40 years, thank you for the respect you have shown towards him in your comments. He's a legend among flamenco and guitar enthusiasts.
@@caramba7613 tengo entendido que había un músico guitarrista que hasta el propio Paco admiraba, un tal Niño Miguel que tuvo la mala fortuna de que la droga se cruzara en su camino y truncara su andadura musical.
Le doy las gracias por darle a Paco de Lucía un reconocimiento merecido y por difundir su arte entre sus seguidores del canal. Un saludo desde Málaga, Andalucía (Spain).
Minera literally means "miner".Is a flamenco genre related with people who work in the mines.When there´s some lyrics they often speak of the tough life of the miners in Southeast Spain.It´s nice you reacted to this! Thank you!
That is very cool, I love learning about the history of songs and types of music! Spain is a beautiful country with a ton of history and deep heritage and culture. I love getting to learning more about it through its music especially when its Paco De Lucia! It is masterful and just simply incredible!!!
yeah..the simplicity of flamenco cante lyrics is so sympolic... minera is fandango..fandango is really amazing...this piece in particular in its agility matches letsay saint paul capriccito by Schopert... for the falestas here approach very deep human emotions; such emotion that one feels as he faces hard reality and harsh fate in patience and persistence
You´re right.This music really touches you deep inside.Flameco in its origins was the music of poor people in Andalusia,gypsy communities that were pursuit and opressed,so their music is the expression of those hard conditions even when uprempo rythms.It´s a way to sing and dance the blues away @@Classiclove122
You´re right,this music touches you deep inside.Flamenco started as the music of very humble people in Andalusia,Spain,often inside gypsy communities that through history suffered persecution and racism.Those people,as you say,surely knew about facing hard reality and harsh fate.Greetings from Spain!@@Classiclove122
Thank you for keeping Paco de Lucía 's music alive. I'm so lucky I was born at the same time he existed and like you said, he was filmed for us to enjoy years after... ❤
@@TheKillogicEffect at some point when Paco was playing tremolo you wondered if it was "quadruple picking". Flamenco tremolo are quintuplets. Thumb on a low bass note, then on the same note on a high string you play Index, ring, middle and index again. Classical guitar tremolo is four notes, it omits the first index pluck.
Is the words of Manolo Sanlucar another contemporary of Paco “ Paco charms the people who don’t know his music and drives crazy the ones who understand it “ he s the best of the best.
Manolo Sanlucar otro grande de la Guitarra .Pero con todos mis respetos hacia el al que también admiro los matices de Paco era y son únicos .Orgullosa de ser andaluza y de todo el arte que derrama mi tierra y sus gentes .
Holla From Spain 57 years old and metal lover But also a fan of Paco de Lucia 1. In Paco de Lucia there is metal? Of course there is But there is also punk, pop, soul... on the basis of flamenco. Paco is what he wants, when he wants and how he wants (Jaźz) 2. We forget, or we don't pay attention, to his work as a composer. Great interpreter? Yes...he is unique But about his own work He is a musician on another level Paco is: Great playing + passion Great at composing Great for his influence He is a musician of musicians Thanks for your sensitivity Greetings to all
It is impossible to do more with nylon and wood (he is a humble craftsman). And above all he pays attention to his right hand. There are many guitarists with his left hand but none with his right hand...that is the key.
I am Portuguese American and a combat veteran. This was incredible. Thank Jesus for making these men that remind us that there is perfection and salvation, in the simplest of God expressions. Beautiful
Me hace muy feliz ver cómo te emocionas descubriendo al ilustre Paco...sus directos hacían latir nuestros corazones a un ritmo de locura. Besos desde España!!
Thank you! I totally can understand why he is such a legendary icon! You really have a lot to be proud of! I'm enjoying learning about him for sure and I look forward to learning and hearing more!
Paco's known for his long practice hours, straight 8+ hours a day, he lived attached to the guitar. He's THE Maestro and it's pure joy and a blessing to hear him playing.
he was a humble genius. there are tons of deep emotion, not everybody can sense it. one feels like ripping your shirt off and jumping ship to a new world literally. From one of the 900 million people connected directly to this culture around the world, thanks for your reaction, you sound genuine.
I can see why he is such a legend, every time I see him I am in awe of his abilities! He truly is the master, the man the guitar was made for! I look forward to learning more about him and his music as well as Flamenco as a whole!

@@dariogtr Me pasó lo mismo, lloré como si hubiese muerto alguien de mí familia, me iba a trabajar la mañana que me enteré que había fallecido, llore todo el camino al laburo.
He told a funny story in an TV interview that shows how truly humble that genius was. He was in a car and suddenly asked the driver to stop because he heard the sound of a guitar somewhere. He got out of the car, following the sound and thinking, "Who the hell is the guy playing the guitar? I will never, ever be able to play like him. I need to know him." Eventually, he found a guy with a radio, where the sound was coming from. He asked the guy, "Who is the guitarist playing?" The dude said, "Maestro, it's you." Thank you for the reaction, you show your passion.
I'm from Spain and a Heavy Metal fan. I love it to see you excited listening Flamengo. The Flamenco have a special feeling, it's like a blues. Pure feeling.... And Paco de Lucia was the greatest with the spanish guitar.... Congrats from Spain.
Congrats to know Paco . Enjoy the fact that his unbeliavable thecnique is devoted to create emotions to the audience. He was an angel that came down to feed our souls.
I honestly have the same feeling about Vicente Amigo, in a different style of flamenco. Just amazing players. Other contemporary players like Diego del Morao, Amir John Haddad, Dani de Moron, etc. are astounding as well.
Gracias por compartir semejante obra, única para la historia de la música y especialmente de la guitarra, gracias por tú humildad y sensibilidad al reaccionar a ella. Solo podemos disfrutar de ello.❤

Omg I just discovered you. His Holiness Master Poet and Royal Eccellenza assoluta of the guitar signor Paco De Lucia ❤️🔥 sends me on fire every single time. Andalusia pure fire 🔥 How lucky are we to have this honour in our lifetime. I enjoyed your mind blown reaction so much yeah man 💃🏻 thanks
Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did! I can totally see, hear, and understand why he is such a legendary icon! It was a pleasure and I look forward to hearing and learning more about him!
Hola. Soy de Algeciras, Cádiz, Andalucía, España, la ciudad natal de Paco. Me encanta que te entisiasme su arte. Un abrazo para tí y todos tus seguidores.❤❤❤
Paco started playing since childhood.In some interview he has explained how tears rolled down his fice while watching other kids play in the street from his window.His father would keep him practicing after taking Paco out of school at the age of 8.At the age of 11 0r 12 he was recording along with his singer brother Pepe,and as a teenager traveled to the USA for some flamenco shows playing for a flamenco dancer.No wonder that in his 20es and early 30es he was a mature musician that impressed the whole world.
Esto es FLAMENCO del sur de España. PATRIMONIO DE LA HUMANIDAD.. Paco es el mas grande y nadie jamás ha podido llegar a tocar la guitarra española como el , ni de cerca. Gran artista y gran persona que actuó en los mas grandes teatros del mundo. Dejó un legado musical incalculable. Gracias Paco.
Paco podia hacer con la guitarra lo que el mejor o los mejores guitarristas..,pero ninguno podia ni puede hacer lo que hacía Paco... Por eso será, per secula seculorum..el Rey de reyes..👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
I would have loved to have had the chance to see him live in person! I wish I would have know of him sooner I think he would have had a big impact on my playing style!
Great to see another metal head appreciate Paco. I have a cousin who really likes "metal" but has always supported and appreciated me and Flamenco. As a life long flamenco musician myself, I have "lived" Paco and thousands of other Flamenco most of my life. I appreciate most music genre's but Flamenco is my soul and this man WAS and still is the best. He is sorely missed in the Flamenco world and beyond. Thank you for recognizing and acknowledging Paco's amazing talent. Welcome to the fold... Es genial ver que otro metalero aprecia a Paco. También tengo un primo al que le gusta mucho "el metal", pero siempre me ha apoyado a mí y al flamenco. Como el músico flamenco de toda mi vida, he "vivido" a Paco y a miles de otros flamencos la mayor parte de mi vida. Aprecio la mayoría de los géneros musicales, pero Flamenco está dentro de mi alma y este hombre era y sigue siendo el mejor. Se le echa mucho de menos en el mundo del flamenco y más allá. Gracias por reconocer y agradecer el increíble talento de Paco. Bienvenido al "campamento".
Glad you heard minera❤. with Paco, we dont pay mind to what he is doing in his hands, rather we enjoy the story he is telling us. Paco wished to be a singer, but his voice didnt help, so he decided to have strings instead of vocal cords... litterally he uses guitar as we use our throats. We dont look at how he play, or we just unconsiously envy him..and that is counter to what he intends for an outcome
WOW, my brain explodes with delight listening to Paco play. Thank you so much for highlighting this amazing piece. I saw him play one year before he died, I’ve never seen an audience in such a wild frenzy. (Haha love the comment about the pinky.) Highly recommend checking out other master flamenco guitarists, Tomatito, Manolo Sanlucar, Diego del Gastor…so many.
It makes me feel lot beter to see someone else with true admiration & dumbfounded as i was&still am, back in 70's when i heard the Maestro first time.😲
En Andalucia todos, absolutamente todo el mundo escucha, vive y disfruta del flamenco, unos con más intensidad que otros pero todos los andaluces (Sur de España) formamos parte de esta cultura. Ultimamente por toda la conexión cultural que nos proporciona internet muchas otras culturas lo estáis descubriendo (especialmente Hispano America por la hermandad cultural que compartimos) y conociendo. Cuando un genio de esta sensibilidad lo compartimos y disfrutamos juntos, nuestro amor por el diferente crece y a la vez nos engrandece. Saludos y respetos
Os animo a escuchar diferentes autores de Guitarra Clásica Española: Tárrega, Albéniz, Rodrigo (Paco tocaba la Flamenca Española) y comprenderéis el arraigo que tenemos con este instrumento
Excellent thank you for the suggestion I really appreciate it ! We have been adding our Flamenco and Paco playlists and always looking for more incredible artists to add and show to more peoples ears!!!
@@TheKillogicEffect no, thank you! I'm from the North of Spain (Celtic pop/rock) and we didn't listen to flamenco much. Watching your videos about Paco and your appreciation for his music has made me re-discover and really enjoy Paco for the first time!
Buenas, no lo dudes amigo con esos microfonos quisieron captar toda la acustica posible, como muy bien dices. Gracias por hacer más grande a D. Paco de Lucia. Lucia le viene por el nombre de su Sra. madre, Doña Lucia. Paco el hijo de la Lucia. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻
I would highly recommend you “Paco Cepero”. It’s also a great Spanish guitarist who was a close friend to Paco de Lucia. My father (also a flamenco guitarist) had the luck to meet Paco de Lucia in Malaga on Holiday. We sit all together in a Spanish beach bar just listening my father and him enjoying playing the guitar together. I remember that day quite well. Paco was a very kind man. I remember that he bought me an ice cream that day.
Cuando Usted dice "quadruple picking" es lo que en flamenco denominamos "trémolo con cuatro notas: bajo y cuatro notas= p iami...". En la guitarra clásica sería p iam (tres notas más el bajo con el pulgar). Me emociono al verlo comentar estos vídeos de nuestro Genio
One of the best current Spanish guitar players, Vicente Amigo, said 'I saw Paco de Lucía when I was 3 years old, and I knew right away what I wanted to be'. Vicente Amigo is a Grammy winner. As you like to discover new music flavors, so to speak, I suggest you a video called 'Vicente Amigo y la Orquesta de Extremadura en el Festival de Flamenco y Fado de Badajoz 2023'. Symphonic Flamenco. A pleasure for the senses, and a song that wouldn't be out of place in a Studio Ghibli movie. Cheers
This sends chills down from my neck to my tailbone and just know this, I've never played guitar. Listening to anything by Paco always made me want to pull out my flamenco dance shoes and put my practice skirt on and dance flamenco. Minera = mine or ore
That's the soul of Spain. non-spanish speakers often confuse spanish folk with latin/centre american, just because we speak the same language. you cannot compare flamenco with samba, or mexican mariachi. They are all different worlds. As a spanish metal guitarist I have to admit that having taken some flamenco lessons in my youth was something that amazed me when doing metal stuff. I found so many connections. flamenco is so dark. Since I was a child I always felt it serious, elegant as well as dark and sinister.
Esto es arte ,es emoción es sentimiento y es poesía,por eso nació en Andalucia,sus dedos son mariposas bailando en las cuerdas de la guitarra,que. Dios lo tenga.en su. Gloria
Flamenco is like the blues, it runs in the blood and it is something that comes from the cradle, from before one was born. Like the blues, many of us can try to play it, with better or worse results, but if it comes from birth, that is a guarantee of quality. There is a legend in some places in Spain that says that when he or his brother Ramon de Algeciras were still children and did a misdeed, their father punished them for hours playing the guitar in a dark room...whether this is true or not, we will never know for sure. What is certain is that he was, is and will be a teacher of teachers.
@TheKillogicEffect great! I could recommend some of he's pieces if you want For example Recuerdo a patino some people say it's the best video in guitars history And the second one is la tumbona Both of them are great!
btw if you want some of hes great pieces heres some guajiras de lucia zyryab (watch the video where hes in the same concert as this one) la tumbona and btw he plays cancion de amor /entre dos aguas in the same concert its completly mind blowing he changes alot of hes pieces in different concerts@@TheKillogicEffect
No sabes lo que dices hermano, paco de lucia es un icono mundial de la guitarra, hablen el idioma que hablen, jamas va existir un paco, para todos es un orgullo reaccionar a el. No dimencionas lo que fue paco, es simplemente el mejor de la guitarra flamenca.
btw, the ringing effect you mention is not intrinsically Paco's own playing, but the way the guitar is constructed and designed to sound in particular robust and ringing way. His instrument is 'Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso' medialuna from the family of Hermanos Conde. Spruce, brasilian rosewood, ebony and cedar. High tension strings also help. Needless to sauy, such guitar will lighten your budget by an amount of a modest modern sports car. flamenco guitars have a very special feel and are of different properties. Some are very unforgiving and hard to play, others incredibly easy to play with very low action. I myself own a vintage Jose Lopez Bellido. Incredibly sounding instrument.
Paco de Lucia playing Concierto de Aranjuez is one of my all-time favourites to listen to. Not a huge classical fan but to listen to that regularly. Fandango is one of the "Palos" o flamenco. Like subgenres with a similar feel. I have seen flamenco guitars miced different ways but a small condenser aimed a sweet spot works well and also can be blended with a small mic taped to the body.
Soy español, pero paco es de todas las personas que aman la musica ,y no tengo palabras para expresar los grandes momentos que he vivido con su musica .gracias
shout out to you dude from morocco africa if you re blown away with MR paco performance you have to see him with jhon mclaughlin and al dimeola ( mediteranian sundance ) and keep it up i like you're page
Very pleased to see your genuine and appropriate reaction. Paco doesn't use any special techniques, he refined the arte to some degree, his predecessors Nino Ricardo, Sabicas, Ramon Montoya etc. used the same techniques, but the eras when they performed and left their own mark in the history of this art was a bit simpler. Paco's performances are extremely complex and condensed and much more abstract.
Listen, the left hand, is impressive, to say the least. But I also saw footage from Django, playing with two fingers. But here's the CATCH: it is his RIGHT hand that has ALL the power. What he does with his right hand is just beyond perfection. It becomes a mid on its own. Put that with his leg hand following his RIGHT hand... well... he sits back and enjoys it. Check his body language. Right hand: boss. Left hand: follows. His brain? Just chilling.
As an andalusian born, this performance makes me cry every time I listen to it. This guy plays poetry with the guitar.

I can see why he is legendary! Thank you for the suggestion I will check that out!
His skills were mind-blowing, I love your reaction because you feel the same that everyone feels when discovers Paco
He is pretty mind blowing for sure! The more I see the more I understand why he is so legendary!
Many can mimic or play like Paco, technically and sounding or else, but noone can touch his expression !
Le merveilleux PACO DE LUCIA !
Paco started playing since childhood.In some interview he has explained how tears rolled down his fice while watching other kids play in the street from his window.His father would keep him practicing after taking Paco out of school at the age of 8.At the age of 11 0r 12 he was recording along with his singer brother Pepe,and as a teenager traveled to the USA for some flamenco shows playing for a flamenco dancer.No wonder that in his 20es and early 30es he was a mature musician that impressed the whole world.
Esto es FLAMENCO del sur de España. PATRIMONIO DE LA HUMANIDAD.. Paco es el mas grande y nadie jamás ha podido llegar a tocar la guitarra española como el , ni de cerca. Gran artista y gran persona que actuó en los mas grandes teatros del mundo. Dejó un legado musical incalculable. Gracias Paco.
Me duelen las manos sólo de verlo Maravilla pura 👋👋👋👋👋👋 Merry Christmas 😜😜😜
Paco podia hacer con la guitarra lo que el mejor o los mejores guitarristas..,pero ninguno podia ni puede hacer lo que hacía Paco... Por eso será, per secula seculorum..el Rey de reyes..👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Saludos broo, yo tuve la bendición de verlo en en 3 conciertos en Venezuela, y fue absolutely beautiful and gorgeous
I would have loved to have had the chance to see him live in person! I wish I would have know of him sooner I think he would have had a big impact on my playing style!
Great to see another metal head appreciate Paco. I have a cousin who really likes "metal" but has always supported and appreciated me and Flamenco. As a life long flamenco musician myself, I have "lived" Paco and thousands of other Flamenco most of my life. I appreciate most music genre's but Flamenco is my soul and this man WAS and still is the best. He is sorely missed in the Flamenco world and beyond. Thank you for recognizing and acknowledging Paco's amazing talent. Welcome to the fold...
Es genial ver que otro metalero aprecia a Paco. También tengo un primo al que le gusta mucho "el metal", pero siempre me ha apoyado a mí y al flamenco. Como el músico flamenco de toda mi vida, he "vivido" a Paco y a miles de otros flamencos la mayor parte de mi vida. Aprecio la mayoría de los géneros musicales, pero Flamenco está dentro de mi alma y este hombre era y sigue siendo el mejor. Se le echa mucho de menos en el mundo del flamenco y más allá. Gracias por reconocer y agradecer el increíble talento de Paco. Bienvenido al "campamento".
I am very proud about Paco was spanish but...i am fail, every human should be proud to share planet with him. Thanks for the reaction.
Absolutely!!!
Amazing!!! , increíble Paco de Lucia, llego a un nivel que ningún humano llegara a tocar así la guitarra.
Glad you heard minera❤.
with Paco, we dont pay mind to what he is doing in his hands, rather we enjoy the story he is telling us. Paco wished to be a singer, but his voice didnt help, so he decided to have strings instead of vocal cords... litterally he uses guitar as we use our throats. We dont look at how he play, or we just unconsiously envy him..and that is counter to what he intends for an outcome
Cuanto te echamos de menos Paco!!
Genial en todo hasta cuando hablaba sentaba cátedra
Hace poquitos días fue su cumpleaños
Q.E.D
Paco sin duda el mejor y más completo guitarrista de todos los tiempos. Lo reunida todo además de Revolucionar el flamenco que tanto amaba.
Absolutely!!!
Paco de Lucia is the GOAT (el más grande de todos los tiempos).
Thanks friend !!! Soy español y me gusta ver cómo reaccionas a el flamenco, y sobre todo al "boss" Paco
It has been a joy to learn about him and the genre as a whole and I look forward to learning all that I can!
Saludo desde Algeciras, donde nació, el maestro Paco de Lucía, 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Greetings!! Nice to meet you! You all have a lot to be proud of without a doubt!!!
Gracias a usted por divulgar el arte español.
WOW, my brain explodes with delight listening to Paco play. Thank you so much for highlighting this amazing piece. I saw him play one year before he died, I’ve never seen an audience in such a wild frenzy. (Haha love the comment about the pinky.)
Highly recommend checking out other master flamenco guitarists, Tomatito, Manolo Sanlucar, Diego del Gastor…so many.
It makes me feel lot beter to see someone else with true admiration & dumbfounded as i was&still am, back in 70's when i heard the Maestro first time.😲
En Andalucia todos, absolutamente todo el mundo escucha, vive y disfruta del flamenco, unos con más intensidad que otros pero todos los andaluces (Sur de España) formamos parte de esta cultura. Ultimamente por toda la conexión cultural que nos proporciona internet muchas otras culturas lo estáis descubriendo (especialmente Hispano America por la hermandad cultural que compartimos) y conociendo. Cuando un genio de esta sensibilidad lo compartimos y disfrutamos juntos, nuestro amor por el diferente crece y a la vez nos engrandece.
Saludos y respetos
Os animo a escuchar diferentes autores de Guitarra Clásica Española: Tárrega, Albéniz, Rodrigo (Paco tocaba la Flamenca Española) y comprenderéis el arraigo que tenemos con este instrumento
Excellent thank you for the suggestion I really appreciate it ! We have been adding our Flamenco and Paco playlists and always looking for more incredible artists to add and show to more peoples ears!!!
Thanks!
Thank you I really appreciate that!!!
@@TheKillogicEffect no, thank you! I'm from the North of Spain (Celtic pop/rock) and we didn't listen to flamenco much. Watching your videos about Paco and your appreciation for his music has made me re-discover and really enjoy Paco for the first time!
Buenas, no lo dudes amigo con esos microfonos quisieron captar toda la acustica posible, como muy bien dices. Gracias por hacer más grande a D. Paco de Lucia. Lucia le viene por el nombre de su Sra. madre, Doña Lucia.
Paco el hijo de la Lucia. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻
It is an absolute pleasure to learn and show other about this master musician! He never fails to amaze!!!
The taps to the body of the guitar perfectly in time are also awesome
Absolutely!!!
I would highly recommend you “Paco Cepero”. It’s also a great Spanish guitarist who was a close friend to Paco de Lucia. My father (also a flamenco guitarist) had the luck to meet Paco de Lucia in Malaga on Holiday. We sit all together in a Spanish beach bar just listening my father and him enjoying playing the guitar together. I remember that day quite well. Paco was a very kind man. I remember that he bought me an ice cream that day.
That is so cool I bet is was such an honor to meet such a legendary icon! Thank you very much for the suggestion I look forward to checking him out!
Cuando Usted dice "quadruple picking" es lo que en flamenco denominamos "trémolo con cuatro notas: bajo y cuatro notas= p iami...". En la guitarra clásica sería p iam (tres notas más el bajo con el pulgar). Me emociono al verlo comentar estos vídeos de nuestro Genio
Its some pretty incredible technique without a doubt!
Un 10 a tus comentarios. Son lo mas justo que se puede decir de Paco.
Ya con 12 años. hay un video impresionante !!
I love your reaction, never will be nothing similar to Paco.
Yamandu Costa
@@felipemendesmoc sorry sir, is a great guitar, but you cant compare. Read and listen a little bit more about Paco de Lucia.
Thank you for sharing this with us...this Andalusian guitar legend was unique...my Spanish heart opens
It is a pleasure to get to learn about such an icon, I can see why he is so legendary!
Ole Macho Paquito siempre vivira siempreee OLEEEEE.
One of the best current Spanish guitar players, Vicente Amigo, said 'I saw Paco de Lucía when I was 3 years old, and I knew right away what I wanted to be'.
Vicente Amigo is a Grammy winner.
As you like to discover new music flavors, so to speak, I suggest you a video called 'Vicente Amigo y la Orquesta de Extremadura en el Festival de Flamenco y Fado de Badajoz 2023'.
Symphonic Flamenco. A pleasure for the senses, and a song that wouldn't be out of place in a Studio Ghibli movie. Cheers
Guitarra nivel Dios
That left me speechless too 😂
This sends chills down from my neck to my tailbone and just know this, I've never played guitar. Listening to anything by Paco always made me want to pull out my flamenco dance shoes and put my practice skirt on and dance flamenco. Minera = mine or ore
Insuperable, el mejor que hubo y que habrá. Dios bajó a tocar la guitarra.
Great of all times.
That's the soul of Spain. non-spanish speakers often confuse spanish folk with latin/centre american, just because we speak the same language. you cannot compare flamenco with samba, or mexican mariachi. They are all different worlds. As a spanish metal guitarist I have to admit that having taken some flamenco lessons in my youth was something that amazed me when doing metal stuff. I found so many connections. flamenco is so dark. Since I was a child I always felt it serious, elegant as well as dark and sinister.
Yeah its hard not to notice the similarities, especially with the more progressive technical metal bands!
Esto es arte ,es emoción es sentimiento y es poesía,por eso nació en Andalucia,sus dedos son mariposas bailando en las cuerdas de la guitarra,que. Dios lo tenga.en su. Gloria
Absolutely!!! Couldnt have said it better myself!
Flamenco is like the blues, it runs in the blood and it is something that comes from the cradle, from before one was born. Like the blues, many of us can try to play it, with better or worse results, but if it comes from birth, that is a guarantee of quality.
There is a legend in some places in Spain that says that when he or his brother Ramon de Algeciras were still children and did a misdeed, their father punished them for hours playing the guitar in a dark room...whether this is true or not, we will never know for sure. What is certain is that he was, is and will be a teacher of teachers.
He is just an alien. Its not human...
im really happy that you actually reacted to this
thanks (:
I can understand why he is so legendary and I'm looking forward to learning more about him!
@TheKillogicEffect great!
I could recommend some of he's pieces if you want
For example
Recuerdo a patino some people say it's the best video in guitars history
And the second one is la tumbona
Both of them are great!
btw if you want some of hes great pieces heres some
guajiras de lucia
zyryab (watch the video where hes in the same concert as this one)
la tumbona
and btw he plays cancion de amor /entre dos aguas in the same concert its completly mind blowing
he changes alot of hes pieces in different concerts@@TheKillogicEffect
Es admirable que gente como tú, quiero decir no español, valoren tanto a éste genio, mil gracias desde Barcelona un abrazo.
It is a pleasure to learn about such a legendary icon!
No sabes lo que dices hermano, paco de lucia es un icono mundial de la guitarra, hablen el idioma que hablen, jamas va existir un paco, para todos es un orgullo reaccionar a el. No dimencionas lo que fue paco, es simplemente el mejor de la guitarra flamenca.
Saludos desde mexico.
btw, the ringing effect you mention is not intrinsically Paco's own playing, but the way the guitar is constructed and designed to sound in particular robust and ringing way. His instrument is 'Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso' medialuna from the family of Hermanos Conde. Spruce, brasilian rosewood, ebony and cedar. High tension strings also help. Needless to sauy, such guitar will lighten your budget by an amount of a modest modern sports car. flamenco guitars have a very special feel and are of different properties. Some are very unforgiving and hard to play, others incredibly easy to play with very low action. I myself own a vintage Jose Lopez Bellido. Incredibly sounding instrument.
He was a gift to the world
Paco de Lucia playing Concierto de Aranjuez is one of my all-time favourites to listen to. Not a huge classical fan but to listen to that regularly.
Fandango is one of the "Palos" o flamenco. Like subgenres with a similar feel.
I have seen flamenco guitars miced different ways but a small condenser aimed a sweet spot works well and also can be blended with a small mic taped to the body.
Soy español, pero paco es de todas las personas que aman la musica ,y no tengo palabras para expresar los grandes momentos que he vivido con su musica .gracias
Man, seeing your progression watching him you can see how you're enjoying more lol
Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did! Paco De Lucia is beyond incredible, Im having so much fun learning about him and his music!
@@TheKillogicEffect I'd love to see more videos about flamenco, there are a lot of subgenres!
@@TheKillogicEffect I'm a metalhead as well XD
Viva España 🇪🇸 viva América 🌎
Paco was not of this world; one of the greatest to ever pick up a guitar, regardless of style
Grazie.
Thank you very much I really appreciate it!!
10:43 what was that !! wow
I know right!? Its like three guitars worth of melody going on coming from just one person! It is absolutely brilliant finger work without a doubt!
@@TheKillogicEffect 🤘🍻💯💯💯💯
shout out to you dude from morocco africa if you re blown away with MR paco performance you have to see him with jhon mclaughlin and al dimeola ( mediteranian sundance ) and keep it up i like you're page
Excellent I will check that out! Thank you I really appreciate it!
Very pleased to see your genuine and appropriate reaction. Paco doesn't use any special techniques, he refined the arte to some degree, his predecessors Nino Ricardo, Sabicas, Ramon Montoya etc. used the same techniques, but the eras when they performed and left their own mark in the history of this art was a bit simpler. Paco's performances are extremely complex and condensed and much more abstract.
Grande Paco de Lucia !!❤
thanks for this genuine reaction :)
My pleasure I can understand why he is so legendary and I am looking forward to hearing and learning more about him!
Uffffff¡¡¡ No words¡
Paco was on a different level
Absolutely!!!
we love you paco! forever
what makes it perfect are the perfect imperfections.
it really is the heart and nuance of the whole piece! Such masterful and beautiful stuff!
Listen, the left hand, is impressive, to say the least. But I also saw footage from Django, playing with two fingers. But here's the CATCH: it is his RIGHT hand that has ALL the power. What he does with his right hand is just beyond perfection. It becomes a mid on its own. Put that with his leg hand following his RIGHT hand... well... he sits back and enjoys it. Check his body language. Right hand: boss. Left hand: follows. His brain? Just chilling.
