Ruben Diaz, to me, the best current Flamenco guitar player. There is no such thing as the ultimate best as there are too many different nuances different players are best at, but Ruben's power, sonority and impeccable sense of rhythm stands head and shoulders out to me. Without a masterful control of sonority/power/rhytm, harmony and melody has no purpose.
Ruben I am a blind musician therefore I was only hearing the audio and also to my surprise I absolutely thought it was you putting on a Pako video but it was you wow very excellent
Paco de Lucia was truly one genius, a true artist. A gift to the world especially to the world of flamenco. And this man really played this nice, magnificent.
Many thanks Mr.mathis: Here is one composition I did and my homage to Paco see if you also like that music, its here bit.ly/2Y7dO2F (Homage bit.ly/316qnbG )
@@rubendiazguitar Thanks for giving me an important information. I've question about playing 'flamenco' guitar. You always use many models of MB guitars which have excellent andalucian sound. But, I use very chip Laminated spruce top flamenco guitar which is just called by 'LAVIDA BFG-1'. It has a narrow body, thin neck and low action. These days, I'm so stressful with its sound. My guitar sounds like soo negra and I have to use cejilla to make bright, traditional flamenco sound. I'm looking forward to buy a MB economic lines (Ash), even it is too expensive to me. How can i find affordable guitar but its sounds bright?

Awesome! Brings back great memories of taking summer school in Madrid back in the early 1970's. I remember the nights of many places with Flamenco everywhere. What amazing music played excellently! You honor the spirit of the Guitar.
You tricked me! Haha!! I was watching the previous video in the list of youtube and the play next ioption was turned out. So when this clip was being played I was away, maestro, and I was listening to it thinking it was Paco de lucia doing a concert in his days. Damn! I was fooled and I realised until Chato began to sing and finally i was so shocked that it was YOU and was so happY : ) Mi maestro, mi estimado.. Dios te bendiga!
Thanks Fernando, thats true and in Spain TV even fewer... but this other arrangements are better. 1 ruclips.net/video/uPGvC41CbaA/видео.html "En Ti Confío" Bulerias 2 ruclips.net/video/tTv7GWozkj4/видео.html "3 Gitanos" Buleria 3 ruclips.net/video/7w1szT2JRhE/видео.html "Buleria Street" Regards
Immaculate Ruben. Extremely enjoyable - just like watching the master - because you are the master. Love the recording and the accompaniment. Very tight and vibrant.
En serio Ruben.... Por que no empiezas a componer tu propia musica !! Eres un maesrtro de verdad y como tocas la guitarra... Increible... Te veo ensenando y tocando la guitarra y me quedo frio...
(answer 1) Thanks for your comment. Between other things I played this specific buleria because I am the only player in Spain and in the world that has ever played this piece properly and performed it on Spanish TV. This piece is most difficult repertoire ever, is “a cover” but really speaking is THE COVER and nobody has ever dared to try to play this piece in Spain TV (Besides Paco) and I had the honor to do that.
Gracias por tu comentario. Yo tengo ya un disco entero de composiciones mias se llama “Andalusian Flavor” (en mi sitio web lo puedes oir) Esta pieza de Paco la toque por el gusto de hacer lo que no ha hecho nadie osea: 1) Tocar esta pieza en televisión en España y como de debe tocar. 2) Demostrar el nivel en el que conozco el repertorio de Paco de Lucia.
Muy buen video Ruben 👍👍👍👍 tiene Toda la razon !!!! Nadie a tocado este toque del maestro Paco.....tu toque esta perfecto 👏👏👏👏👏....pa mi opinion el del cajon no te lleva como deverias de ser . Pero solo tu guitarra llevas todo 👍👍👍👍 un saludo desde Francia
Gracias Juan pero sshh, aclaro aquí que yo no he dicho eso para presumir Juan , se lo habré dicho hace tiempo a algún troll si mas no recuerdo. Sin embargo si te digo que la mejor versión que he tocado de esto no es esta en Televisión Española sino esta otra bit.ly/2x1zSPs (en multiscreen format) Saludos
Olè! Beautiful... I wonder what would those snobs at foro flamenco would say here! LOL my goodness I can't believe some people... Great job Maestro Ruben
Thanks for your comment dear Beshar: The answer is that if they could ever play in TV here in Spain maybe only then they could say something... but you can bet that is not going to happen. Here is their nightmare goo.gl/TVhSwm Also as you may know dear Beshar in UK in the name of free speak people can speak bad on media outlets even if its about Queen Elizabeth, and no legal action works againt that, but here in Spain is punishable by law, for instance here is this man who slander me and AG (Juan Estrada who was a moderator in Paco de Lucia's forum) he lost a lawsuit against me in Spain 2 years ago and he had to pay a big penalty for that, next is the document from the supreme court of Spain www.rdiaz.org/rdmagazine49-finalresolution.html and here is the apology he was forced by law to post on that forum as well (which is still there as the judge order it to be) www.pacodelucia.org/foro/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3881 Coming back to the foroflamencofortourist players here is one of their Gurus ruclips.net/video/lDLoiBhgfHY/видео.html and here is the owner himself playing as well ruclips.net/video/hjW779Ykohw/видео.html next is their channel which has 50 subscribers and 17 videos of what only they can call flamenco ruclips.net/channel/UC0gJvov5OHqQwwaEyvi6XwA CONCLUSION: I offten say: Please listen to their videos and if after that by any chance you ever think that this people is worth listening to, please let me know... hence I also need to know to whom I am talking to.

Jawdrop. I dropped my jaw somewhere and I can't find it. This is the greatest emulation of Paco's playing I have ever seen. You play it exactly the way he did. Very good interpretation. Ole Ruben.
Thanks here I explain about the technique and all that Paco de Lucia's Technique Qualifies You to Play Whatever You Wish as You Want & Covers Everything ruclips.net/video/ovSGT3ypaXc/видео.html
{My guitar article sites.google.com/view/new-definition-flamenco-guitar } Amazingly enough, Paco himself seemed also unfulfilled with traditional guitars as you can read from the following interview in 2013 (question n. 5, see this link goo.gl/8DSghE ) Interviewer- Which is your main guitar? A: Paco de Lucia: "...I have many different guitars and some are nice ones actually (I guess he meant his Santos, Barberos etc) but I always have this one with me, it's like living with a woman who you don't really like much. Because I really don't like so much this guitar, but I know how it will respond on stage so, there is a saying "best-known evil than an unknown good" and that applies here. In fact, at home this guitar I feel it is rough and hard to play. When I'm relaxed at my place I can't play this guitar at all... but when adrenaline is there (on the stage) I need a certain tension or pulsation which I have to get used to, and that's why I use this guitar to play on the stage. (in the following video you can also see Paco himself saying again a similar thing bit.ly/2YVx13Q ) Simplicio and his innovative idea (a separate double sound port for the top) It was around 1929 that our Stradivarius "The Stradivari of Spain" greatest Spanish luthier (born in Barcelona bit.ly/2LTS96A ) Mr. Francisco Simplicio 1874-1933. harrisguitarfoundation.org/francisco-simplicio/ He presented to the world nine very peculiar guitars, all of them of a new design with a top like this, andalusianguitars.com/FS1932-11-26.html shaping the way for a fully renovated kind of Spanish guitar never seen before. www.themomi.org/museum/mfa/popular_guitars/1929-30_F_Simplicio.html (Simplicio was also an expert in traditional guitar making and during his life. He produced about 340 instruments ) The universality of Simplicio's design applied to the newest flamenco guitars, as it has been skillfully explored from many angles since 2015 by the creative master luthiers of AG. andalusianguitars.com/aboutAG.html It represents a sublime redefinition of the modern flamenco guitar as an instrument, one that offers many tangible bonuses to anyone who plays a nylon string guitar, no matter which style he plays, as well as for the modern flamenco guitar player. bit.ly/2xLZf59 After about 18 years of intense collaboration with AG as a trusted advisor in their projects, (I still feel honored that Paco himself appointed me for that task) the truth is that AG has created a new concept of playability, envisioning a guitar with unparalleled exactness in tuning and design for the comfort of the player. In AG, the challenge during the research period was to create a guitar which could reduce the difficulties naturally there in every traditional guitar, inconsistencies which are too often taken for granted as "normal things". "Normal"? Yes, for those who don't know and choose the same of the same feel, every time - and typical design of traditional flamenco guitars. In my opinion the centered sound whole concept together with the "traditional guitar design" representative of the Madrid school of guitar making, bit.ly/2NVhnUP has many obsolete features which remained unchanged. Unchanged, certainly not to help the player, but to please the minds of those who belong to the "cult of the tradition," a cult of fellows sentimentally over attached to outdated guitar design, a design that has not been questioned or revisited for more than 100 years. 100+ years without even asking why is it so? Unfortunately, many flamenco players at present are so acclimatized to those archaic features there, that they can't see bit.ly/2LRn5EI how all those inadequacies inherent in the traditional design, may be obstacles to themselves to play efficiently and with ease. To me, the Madrid school of guitar making is totally out-of-date. Such guitars would be ok if one likes a masochistic feel of playing, forced to deal with constant problems and hindrances one after the other. As Paco use to say that some guys like to play just to be "beaten by their guitars". Therefore if anyone enjoys that, I have no problem with it, but this is not my case, how it could be? I consider myself fortunate to have listened to Paco's uncensored advice and many of his esoteric concepts about playability and guitars. He told me many things which he would never say publicly nor tell anyone else about. Admiring him, as I still do, I trusted his points of view and all that helped, directly and indirectly, to bring about this new concept of flamenco guitar making we have at present, with guitars like these bit.ly/2JyGLeW Performing with efficiency is already difficult sometimes, and, if the design of a guitar does not help the player, I can't see what the gain is? To me, performing in such a constricted space is like playing with a pair of handcuffs on, having less and fewer possibilities to succeed over difficult passages of music. bit.ly/2OatqOv And if that was not enough, one also has to deal with those innate handicaps regarding the sound delivery aspect which is very limited by the unidirectional way that traditional guitars can offer, is important to be aware of the fact that such restrictions will be there even in the best traditional flamenco guitars bit.ly/30yfCOQ On the other hand, Simplicio noticed several serious disadvantages in traditional sound hole placement, as he thought that it unavoidably weakens the guitar top in a very crucial area and also causes a huge reduction of the sound emitting surface on the top. (Huber, J.: The Development of the Modern Guitar, Westport, 1994, p.27) While an increased sound emitting surface would also improve the sound emitting platform in the bass range area (Stark, D.: Diplomarbeit - Entwurf und Bau einer Konzertgitarre mit doppelter Decke in Sandwichbauweise, Weimar, 2006, p.6) Influence on the sound: By omitting the centered sound hole and instead positioning it in a doubled manner, both sides of the fingerboard as you can see here, andalusianguitars.com/FS1929-21-23.html leads to an enlarged vibrating surface of the top (sometimes due to the ratio between top length or width and top thickness) and with that, it is possible to: A) Attain the same degree of flexibility of the top as in a traditional guitar, but getting a higher "mass" of the top, which also leads to a better sustain without any loss of "attack" and responsiveness. B) Keep a more flexible top than that of a traditional guitar, while maintaining the same mass of the top which is conducive to an increase in volume and responsiveness without any loss of sustain. C) Apart from those considerable advantages there, the Helmholtz frequency polettipiano.com/Pages/airresengpaul.html can also be significantly lowered, which in turn has an impact in the tonal character of the instrument. Same advantages are also there for: D) The AG Simplicio 1929 model andalusianguitars.com/FS1932-2-shinglewood-hayab-%20cherryf-jacaranda-orangenat-11.html as well as for its asymmetrical derivations: E) A Picasso cutaway design andalusianguitars.com/FS1929-36-14.html
Love your performance .. ur a great guitarist.. i play bulerias but to be honest it’s one of the hardest palos in flamenco .. keep up the good work.. if you’ve got the time i appreciate you give me your opinion about my performance i’ve got a couple of videos on my channel .. thanks a lot 😊

When only you can do something in the whole world or in your country that is stuff to be highlighted…don’t you think? (answer 2) But this is my piece also on the same TV show watch?v=r-rO-wGuzrs&list=UUC-krCs5dwUEHSSJ0c2IKIw&index=2&feature=plcp
That note is the tonic or the 5th of the V7b9 chord but, how you can do real musical things with that, to get there that you would have to learn it directly from a teacher because its not such a random topic that one could give generalizations (besides those already given in jazz methodology) in flamenco that is not something you can learn by by just watching a video, its a very specific topic and need specific attention into the context that it is used in Paco´s style in modern flamenco, here there are 2,500 videos so if I remember some videos with some hints about I will send it to you, there most be more than one on this channel Ayush. Regards
Hey man, its sad. I have listened to like 10+ videos of yours (new ones) and they were very close to being completely unlistenable and there was completely no melody in them. This however (I said ok Ill give this guy another chance with video) is very pleasant to listen and the technique is sounds amaizing. I felt very uplifted listening to the whole piece and some moments very beautiful. I think you gave up your road to being a bright musician into being a seller of overpriced guitars. No offence tho. Just stating for you something to consider. Never too late to continue on the road.
me acabo de hacer caca Hecho a faltar unos videos de paco enseñando a tocar sus temas, Los videos tuyos que he visto es lo mas cercano a eso Saludos y enhorabuena
Ruben Diaz, to me, the best current Flamenco guitar player. There is no such thing as the ultimate best as there are too many different nuances different players are best at, but Ruben's power, sonority and impeccable sense of rhythm stands head and shoulders out to me.

Unfortunately, many flamenco players at present are so acclimatized to those archaic features there, that they can't see bit.ly/2LRn5EI how all those inadequacies inherent in the traditional design, may be obstacles to themselves to play efficiently and with ease.
To me, the Madrid school of guitar making is totally out-of-date. Such guitars would be ok if one likes a masochistic feel of playing, forced to deal with constant problems and hindrances one after the other. As Paco use to say that some guys like to play just to be "beaten by their guitars". Therefore if anyone enjoys that, I have no problem with it, but this is not my case, how it could be? I consider myself fortunate to have listened to Paco's uncensored advice and many of his esoteric concepts about playability and guitars. He told me many things which he would never say publicly nor tell anyone else about. Admiring him, as I still do, I trusted his points of view and all that helped, directly and indirectly, to bring about this new concept of flamenco guitar making we have at present, with guitars like these bit.ly/2JyGLeW
Performing with efficiency is already difficult sometimes, and, if the design of a guitar does not help the player, I can't see what the gain is?
To me, performing in such a constricted space is like playing with a pair of handcuffs on, having less and fewer possibilities to succeed over difficult passages of music. bit.ly/2OatqOv And if that was not enough, one also has to deal with those innate handicaps regarding the sound delivery aspect which is very limited by the unidirectional way that traditional guitars can offer, is important to be aware of the fact that such restrictions will be there even in the best traditional flamenco guitars bit.ly/30yfCOQ
On the other hand, Simplicio noticed several serious disadvantages in traditional sound hole placement, as he thought that it unavoidably weakens the guitar top in a very crucial area and also causes a huge reduction of the sound emitting surface on the top. (Huber, J.: The Development of the Modern Guitar, Westport, 1994, p.27) While an increased sound emitting surface would also improve the sound emitting platform in the bass range area (Stark, D.: Diplomarbeit - Entwurf und Bau einer Konzertgitarre mit doppelter Decke in Sandwichbauweise, Weimar, 2006, p.6)
Influence on the sound:
By omitting the centered sound hole and instead positioning it in a doubled manner, both sides of the fingerboard as you can see here, andalusianguitars.com/FS1929-21-23.html leads to an enlarged vibrating surface of the top (sometimes due to the ratio between top length or width and top thickness) and with that, it is possible to:
A) Attain the same degree of flexibility of the top as in a traditional guitar, but getting a higher "mass" of the top, which also leads to a better sustain without any loss of "attack" and responsiveness.
B) Keep a more flexible top than that of a traditional guitar, while maintaining the same mass of the top which is conducive to an increase in volume and responsiveness without any loss of sustain.
C) Apart from those considerable advantages there, the Helmholtz frequency polettipiano.com/Pages/airresengpaul.html can also be significantly lowered, which in turn has an impact in the tonal character of the instrument.
Same advantages are also there for:
D) The AG Simplicio 1929 model andalusianguitars.com/FS1932-2-shinglewood-hayab-%20cherryf-jacaranda-orangenat-11.html
as well as for its asymmetrical derivations:
E) A Picasso cutaway design andalusianguitars.com/FS1929-36-14.html
F) Double cutaway design andalusianguitars.com/FS1932-7-11.html
G) The expanded treble sound hole andalusianguitars.com/FS1932-9-13.htm

Sir is there any method to find landing note of chord
That note is the tonic or the 5th of the V7b9 chord but, how you can do real musical things with that, to get there that you would have to learn it directly from a teacher because its not such a random topic that one could give generalizations (besides those already given in jazz methodology) in flamenco that is not something you can learn by by just watching a video, its a very specific topic and need specific attention into the context that it is used in Paco´s style in modern flamenco, here there are 2,500 videos so if I remember some videos with some hints about I will send it to you, there most be more than one on this channel Ayush.
Regards
Yes sir, can melodic minor scale be used over V7b9 chord
Mas duro ke culo de maniki

Hey man, its sad. I have listened to like 10+ videos of yours (new ones) and they were very close to being completely unlistenable and there was completely no melody in them. This however (I said ok Ill give this guy another chance with video) is very pleasant to listen and the technique is sounds amaizing. I felt very uplifted listening to the whole piece and some moments very beautiful. I think you gave up your road to being a bright musician into being a seller of overpriced guitars. No offence tho. Just stating for you something to consider. Never too late to continue on the road.
Many thanks Michael see if you also like this other one here bit.ly/2Zeo0o5
