Yes Paco Pena and John Williams are neighbours in London and lifelong friends. They also have performed together frequently. Paco, John and Inti Illimani playing together was the most wonderful live performance I have ever seen & heard.
@economistery with great respect I think what you see as tremolo maybe a very fast arpegio..as you may already know arpegio is normally the word when over several strings and tremolo normaly on one string..of course in what you are saying you are very correct I think and yes tremolo can also be used just before a chord to give a feeling..almost akind of preemption of what is happening.
I am way passed being infatuated by the wonderful melodies of flamenco. I am an amateur guitar player myself with "some" flamenco skills. I know flamenco is wonderful, I also know Paco Pena is a great guitar player. What I am saying is, When I listen to Paco Pena, Manolu Sanlucar and Paco De Luica I hear many many similar falsetas. It is like hearing the same joke from two different comedians. Thats all.
Yes, it is: this is from a television series about John Williams, in this particular program Paco Pena was guest, John played some pieces as well and they did some duets.
Yes it was part of a documentry filmed in the mid-1970's. Williams & Pena are great friends they live almost next door. If you ever get the chance see Paco live he's fantastic, he still tours but the emphasis is on his dance company as opposed to solos, he does introduce the show with a solo, and it brings the house down. Hurry he's 60 odd now and will soon retire, I still hate myself for turning down a chance to see Bream live, now its too late.
I know what you´re talking about, but I have to tell you falsetas are common and similar in flamenco as turnarounds in blues and jazz. Notice you´re listening to an ancient music, developed in a country very attached to the tradition, as Spain is. Now you can find "conteporary" flamenco artist since Camaron de la Isla ´til date, and you probably find that kind of freedom and rich harmony you´re talking about
hangman65: Yes, Pacos Peña and Lucía are good friends. Peña has frequently booked Lucía for his guitar Festival in Córdoba. Mencado: Paco Doble did not feature the two playing together; it was one of those record company bright ideas, with Lucía on one side and Peña on the other. All the tracks are available elsewhere.
@TheTocaor you explain it very well and yes more notes is not better at all..Paco Peña is raw and powerful and dark..on eof his notes is worth a million picados which are used simply to impress.
his guitar is very loud. with a guitar like that he could play a concert without a mic lol....which model is it...and whats the range price?? id like to get a guitar which is loud enough for listeners to hear without mics....
@economistery yes I agree with all you say.I have three guitars by Gerundino which sound as good as this but unfortunately the mics I can use are not so good. Paco Peña and Gerundino is the perfect combination.
@ukiemexican haha he was probably thinking damn I better learn as much as possible from Paco while I can cause he has something that Segovia didn't go over with me.
whoops, i meant to link you to the 3rd part although all parts are impressive, i believe that marketplace to limogoes, and Cum mortuis in lingua mortua are two of the more impressive pieces in terms of sheer virtuosity.
a valid point of view, but with so many players 'pushing new boundaries' I think flamenco is in danger of loosing its roots, its pure form. Now that Paco hardly performs solo anymore and doesn't make solo records anymore, I don't see a single player in the traditional style -surely not on his level- and too many (mostly mediocre) Paco De Lucia clones.
I think that maybe the great flamenco players have just been playing WAY too many copies for WAY too many years !!!---How many renditions of "Granadias" (Just for example) are we going to hear in a century ???---Theses renditions all sound a bit different. But it's all the same tune. Everyone and their brother and uncle and sister has played this tune. Pena, Del Lucia, Montoya. Charo. ---Write a new tune man !!!---How many more years can we hear the same songs ???---You all have the talent. What's holding you back ???
@@aldito7586 Granaina is a palo, not a song or a tune. It's a conduit for expression, a substyle; not unlike the sonata form in classical music, but you don't hear people complaining "how many composers are just copying the sonata form? Write your own composition." It's a form, not a tune. In flamenco its almost axiomatic that you compose within the confines of a given form like granaina, solea, buleria etc. If you're interested in pushing the boundaried, however, Vicente has songs which pretty much can hardly be classified as any of the traditional palos, although you can kind of still doing. But that aside, without the palos as a base, flamenco doesn't exist. They're almost essential, and that's just how flamenco works. Just like you cannot imagine blues without the pentatonic scale.
Most falsetas are common. i dont see much originality. Now go back and listen to paco de lucia's solea, you will find several similar falsetas. Also Manolo Sanlucar has a solea too. Very similar to this. Not saying one steals from another but when you are dealing with traditional music, even the technique is very bright, it is very repetitive. When you get out of the box and open your mind and think beyond technique, you will realize.. Music is life which can express anything. Music is free!
well....not exactly 'new': Pena started his career in the 60ies. Unfortunately the last decade or so he hardly gives solo concerts anymore, but prefers to perform with a large flamenco ensemble.
senin bunu soylemen icin falseta ne demek anlaman lazim kardes, flamenko muzigini anlayabilmen lazim. Cok sacma bir benzetme kullanmissin. Bir irk'in sekli calisma ile degismez fakat muzikteki ureticilik ve yetenek calisma ile gelisir ve sekillenir. Benim soylemek istedigim bu adamlarin falsetalarinin birbirine cok benziyor olusu.. kotu espri, sacma benzetme.. gercek bir fikrin varsa konus biz de aydinlanalim.
It's not that effective. You lose flexibilty in the nails with that kind of treatment. It is only good if you have a small crack and are performing soon and need to heal it fast. Natural nails are best and can be hardened with special oils.
Without a doubt one of the best Flamenco guitarists.
wow.. the rhythm and flow throughout the piece is so clear and consistent
this man indeed makes incredible compositions.
He plays allways great. He seems like a child but he was 33 years old when he play this.
Yes Paco Pena and John Williams are neighbours in London and lifelong friends. They also have performed together frequently. Paco, John and Inti Illimani playing together was the most wonderful live performance I have ever seen & heard.
Holy cow... that would have been amazing. To have witnessed that kind of talent on one stage would be a lifelong memory. WOW!!!
Btw... did Segovia and Sabicas ever "jam"? Cause that would have been an amazing duo as well!
Just beautiful and simply the best. I wish my next life is a life of a flameco guitarist, half of Pena's level.
PERFECT! Just what I grew up with. Fantastic video.
Paco, superb, naturally gifted, genius guitarist.
Love it, anything Paco Pena is always welcomed here
It´s clear the Sabicas influence in this Soleares...i like the sound (I met Paco Peña in Festival de la Guitarra de Córdoba 1989)
Best Soleares I ever heard... Incredible ! JW must be gasping for breath... :-).
Oleeee Maestroooo!!! Que grandeeee! Viva Paco Peña!!
Cada quien... pero si es una chingonada el vato
Que bonito. Uno de los mejores👏👏👏👏👏
paco pena oleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
they have always been good friends and collegues! :)
It is magnificent: thank you so much for putting this movie here.
Saludos
Tomás
Very interesting. He's a great musician & guitarist
this music piece just made my day....
WONDERFUL...
Maravilhoso....
Clap* Clap* Clap*
Bravo !
=D
Thanks!!
Wow, his timing is sharp as a tack, even at breakneck speeds.
Best damn tremolo I've ever heard too!
@economistery with great respect I think what you see as tremolo maybe a very fast arpegio..as you may already know arpegio is normally the word when over several strings and tremolo normaly on one string..of course in what you are saying you are very correct I think and yes tremolo can also be used just before a chord to give a feeling..almost akind of preemption of what is happening.
Perfect !!!
Fantastic stuff.
He just gave a solo concert tonight in London at the Wigmore Hall! First for a long time.
Yeah I might be able to play like that in another ten years :-/?
Update us, do you play as good now?
@jamh2000 I agree, this Soleá is serious and soulful and sounds of Andalucía
I am way passed being infatuated by the wonderful melodies of flamenco. I am an amateur guitar player myself with "some" flamenco skills.

Its a Gerundino and price is around 10000 dollar and more if you can find them...
WOW. This is fantastic. Especially around 1:48.
WOW.
Yes, it is: this is from a television series about John Williams, in this particular program Paco Pena was guest, John played some pieces as well and they did some duets.
Oh wow he is a great guitarist.
Yes it was part of a documentry filmed in the mid-1970's. Williams & Pena are great friends they live almost next door.

La mejor mano derecha del mundo: la del Flamenco.
Great flamenco player
sick sick sick
puro arte
Damn this dude owns
damn!! his tech is incredible
Probably that is why most great players started to build own stuff and then mix it with jazz.
wow, fantastic technique
Holy shit!
@jamh2000 very very true..this is a Soleá of profound emotion and seriousness
I know what you´re talking about, but I have to tell you falsetas are common and similar in flamenco as turnarounds in blues and jazz.

Now you can find "conteporary" flamenco artist since Camaron de la Isla ´til date, and you probably find that kind of freedom and rich harmony you´re talking about
I happen to listen to and play a lot Salobre and Santuario and this isn't any of them.
hangman65: Yes, Pacos Peña and Lucía are good friends. Peña has frequently booked Lucía for his guitar Festival in Córdoba.

Practice, Practice, Practice!
Very few players can play solea like this, without seeming casual at any point.
this guy is fuckin good
Apparently John Williams an Paco Pena are or were neighbors at one point in time. I'm sure they are quite familiar with each other's playing.
look the "old position" of the guitar ¡¡¡
Lus curdas de una guitarra bien acariciadas hacer parar el tiempo.
i feel so sorry for myself because i have to learn how to play that byt eh end of the year (sob) i can barely hold the guitar!
his guitar is very loud. with a guitar like that he could play a concert without a mic lol....which model is it...and whats the range price?? id like to get a guitar which is loud enough for listeners to hear without mics....
@economistery yes I agree with all you say.I have three guitars by Gerundino which sound as good as this but unfortunately the mics I can use are not so good. Paco Peña and Gerundino is the perfect combination.
He sure owns Paco De Lucia and I have a lot of respect for De Lucia.
@saundog11 Perhaps the same five people on the Granadinas page.
@sonanterobrutal Sí, la guitarra es de Gerundino. Tengo tres iguales que esta de Paco.
¡Son cañones!
@ukiemexican haha he was probably thinking damn I better learn as much as possible from Paco while I can cause he has something that Segovia didn't go over with me.
does anyone know were to get the tab for this song ..iv been looking for 1 year now
I'm new to Flamenco, but I prefer his style to De Lucia's. (w/ all due respect, all of these flamenco guys are freaks)

KAZUHITO YAMASHITA PLAYS MUSSORGSKY'S "PICTURES AT AN EXHIBITION"; 2/3
¿Como se llama esta obra? What´s that opus name? no es "Santuario", is different than "Santuario"
this is were he stands for, plain and straight.
But if you compare it with a solea from manolo....
providing you even understood what I just said on my comment, would you be kind to explain why you think I dont know what I am talking about? Mate?
whoops, i meant to link you to the 3rd part
although all parts are impressive, i believe that marketplace to limogoes, and Cum mortuis in lingua mortua are two of the more impressive pieces in terms of sheer virtuosity.
@tmjcbs well I try to play in that style..not as good as Paco Peña of course..by the way I just listened to you..lovely tone and playing! be happy!
great sound
Do you know who built the guitar he is using?
its not either of those ...i just really like that begening.
fucking unbelievable!!!!! what the fuck the other guitarist could do to equal that................ ha
a valid point of view, but with so many players 'pushing new boundaries' I think flamenco is in danger of loosing its roots, its pure form.

Grisha fulfills the need for preserving the great repertoire and does it with amazing technique and sensitivity.

lol... tht really cracked me up... try practisin all day lng n stuff... might work than changin ur name ;)
Es verdad coño...
Con esa sonrisita casi casi le dice a John Williams, ¿Cómo te quedó el ojo, eh?
It´s a Gerundino. Unfortunately dead.
@KoldkilleR99 just so you know the guitarist beside him is equally great as him. That person is the great classical guitarist John Williams!!!!!
:o I hope not....
quien es el de al lao moraito chico???? es igua
is he reading a sheet??

What? You think Mr. Williams´ level is too low?!
real guitarrist play without pick!!
well....not exactly 'new': Pena started his career in the 60ies. Unfortunately the last decade or so he hardly gives solo concerts anymore, but prefers to perform with a large flamenco ensemble.
eehhhh....a translation would have been nice!
well.....everybody is entitled to his/her own opinion, however silly :-)

We appreciated your comment, but not as much as paco pena. please move to another continent.

I can kill myself for kiss his fingers...
