Thank you so much Per-Olov!
I'm thrilled that you enjoy my music. I couldn't ask for a nicer endorsement than from such a fantastic musician as yourself.
Thank you very much for your kind comments.
Kind regards,
John
Dear John! I am so happy I came here to listen to you! Brilliant and breathtaking! Why play classical music when you can play this? :-) Absolutely great,my friend! When I was young, Phillip John Lee was my hero and you remind me of his playing here! Thank you!

This piece of mine seems to be quite popular with people. It's called Cassiopeia and is a flamenco form called Solea por Bulerias. Cassiopeia was a ill-fated vain Queen in Greek Mythology and the astronomical constellation named after her was my favourite constellation as a child (mostly because it was a great reference point to find other more interesting night sky objects).
When I finished writing the piece, I happened to be outside looking skyward and it being early November, Cassiopeia was very high and obvious in the sky so I took the lazy route and named the piece after her.
I added the little (sort of) major-key section at the end on the day of recording it, as all the reminiscing had put me in a nostalgic, possibly childish mood. :D
Rant over, Enjoy I hope

This is hypnotising. I'm very happy with the direction I took in guitar playing, but I simply can't fathom real classical style.
very nice playing
John Walsh Guitar That was stunning!!! I have loved flamenco for over 20 years and have never heard it played like this. I could sense an almost Celtic tone in certain places. Where are you from? Amazing playing, amazing composition.
Danofstockport Many thanks man. Much appreciated! I am from Ireland and I live in Dublin. Every few months I am in Manchester to give a weekend of flamenco guitar workshops. There is a nice flamenco scene there. Many thanks again.
John
John Walsh Guitar Ahh, I have just looked and found you mentioned in the "Flamenco at POD" :-) I may pop down but it's tricky because I run my exercise Boot Camps most evenings :-( Also, my guitar playing is crappy at the moment ha ha ha. Thanks for replying John (I see now where the Celtic sounds come from)
This is an amazing Solea! Very unique and with such tasty musicality. Looks like a challenge to play as well, that you make look easy. Ole!
I told probably two dozen people about flametal when I was younger.
It turned out that Ben and I had a lot in common. Metal guys who discovered flamenco and loved it, but just weren't that great at it, and gravitated toward 4/4 stuff a little bit lol.
I don't know if he would have laughed at that, or taken it as an insult, but I always felt like we were comically similar on some levels.
We both played metal on nylon string guitars initially, both from Seattle; both hung out at the same guitar shop (but never at the same time); and we each independently arrived at the same cheat-picado technique (that I believe he called 'alternail') where you use your i finger as a pick, as if you were alternate picking on an electric (because our picado wasn't that great). I'm guessing he, too, wished he'd gotten an earlier start with flamenco.
That video he uploaded where he was walking around his house, unable to sit down, and asking for people to send good vibes his way as a last ditch effort to stay alive really bothered me. I still think about that on a weekly basis, and count myself as fortunate for what health I do have remaining. Every time I think about my own mortality, Ben woods crosses my mind.
RIP, brotha. Hopefully wherever you are, the seats aren't all taken. That'd be just your luck.
Muchas gracias Parasanda por tus amables palabras! Voy a compartir más videos en las semanas que viene. Me alegro que te gusta tío!
This is just wonderful! I subscribed.
Aquí hay donde aprender e inspirarse cualquier buen guitarrista
6 downvotes? Why in the world would anyone downvote this?!?!?
A lovely person from France immediately downvotes my videos as soon as they are uploaded, sometimes in a faster time than the length of the actual video hahahah
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the visit! :)
Flamenco fusion. I can't get rid of it. Just perfect.
asteroh Thank you very much!!!
Fingers want castagnettes .....feet want dance shoes.... and the mind's eye is filled with visions of the Alhambra.... stunning piece and playing!
Sounding almost celtic with this tuning!!
brutal ! ole y ole
many thanks for sharing your music on youtube
it is one of my favorite pieces, and if i had the notes, i would recommend it as an method for solea por buleria, full harmonically , warm for the ears, and soft playing ( not agressive )
best regards
About time someone like you from a non-Spanish background was more prominent in the big competitions in Spain - concurso nacional de la guitarra en Cordoba, or La Unión Murcia. It’s got to happen sooner or later. Great playing.
Thanks a million Brian! I'm delighted you enjoy my music amigo! Thank you for your kind words!
When I post YT says ''undefined'' I have no idea why...
Per-Olov
I am learning flamenco strumming pattern... But its complicated to say something,, absolutely brilliant..... master piece...
Many thanks to everyone for your kind comments! I'm really glad you enjoyed this piece!
lml brought me here. you make art
Jaysus, thanks a million James! I'm really happy that you enjoyed it! From a player with your ridiculous abilities and musical sensibilities it means a lot to me!
Viva el FLAMENCO y viva tu, John, eres un fiera!!!
Muchas gracias Juanpe! Me alegro mucho que te gusta!
Wow John...I've been a lover of flamenco for 18 years now. Its tough to describe your Solea Por Bulerias....besides being excellent, I'd have to say that it sounds both rooted in tradition but has a feel not flamenco-like....i cant put my finger on it. Like flamenco techniques and compas with a American country-western flavor??? I dont know why im having that feel but it does speak to the uniqueness of your interpretation........familiar yet totally new. Thanks!!
Muchas gracias Juan José! Me alegro que te gusta!
Muchas gracias Zoynacho! Me alegro que te gusta!!!
you made me fly man!!! very clean as ever...
que arte pisha, ole los buenos tocaores dublineses.
Already commented this video...still impressed.
Olé John!
Thanks Eltazir, Glad you enjoyed it. The tuning is (from 6th to 1st) D A D G Bb D
John, Que maravilla, a gorgeous composition, and some of the best playing imaginable. And thank you for such a pristine recording that makes us feel like we're right there. The sonorities are rich and unexpected voicings - you treat that tuning so well, it's fresh and still muy flamenco.
Just listened to this again, John. It is just beautiful...
Thanks a million Robert! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
I gave you a like, in spanish, you are trully un fenomeno
Ole' John!!!
Preciosa la soleá,me encanta Bravo John La armonía muy bonita,la ejecución ole!!
Still impressed by this song years after first time I've listened to it.
You have a pure flamenco techniques but there is something different in your music and it is definitely not Spanish. It's the reason why this piece of art is so special.
I had a Spanish long time friend hear it two days ago and he was like : "...." he was just speechless. And so was I again...
Each time I hear it, it brings me beyond myself. Thanks John.
Thanks so much!
Ah thanks a million Master! I'm really glad you enjoyed it! Would love to meet up for a pint and a chat before xmas if you are interested!
Muchas gracias Jaleando!
So killer! Ole tu!
So powerful John.And very original
You are an incredible player! I can barely keep up with you.
Ole!!!
Its like hearing Paco play flamenco and hearing Jazz in it at the same time....
John , brilliant !!!! hard to say anything else , Donal
jody kirk Thanks a million Donal!
Still one of my favorites, ever. Ole John!
Thanks so much Andy!
Unique style, to be sure. A couple parts reminded me of jeronimo maya's 'tangos a lucas,' (the tuning in conjunction with the hammer-on/pull-off stuff on the bass strings). Your song may have come first, I'm not sure.
In any case, it's great. The song, the playing, the recording. Well done.
Thanks man! Much appreciated!
Been listening to your jam this evening Johnny boy, wow, you are the real deal. your technical command, compositional skills and the emotional feel you have for flamenco is astonishing. I love hearing you play and watching u play so very effortless. Keep’er lite old pal

oleeeeeeeeeeee john.
Many thanks to everybody for your lovely comments. I really appreciate it and am delighted that you enjoy my music!
Muchas gracias a todos por vuestras palabras amables!!
Superb John, a real treat to watch and listen to. So rare in Ireland too - fair play to you. Brian
You have wonderful compositions!
impressive!
fantastich John
olé john! very deep composition. there are so many things in your music to explore, so many dimensions of emotions. only very few composers are able to create music on that level
Like it...thanks.
Oh John...you are Irish!? I missed that. Now it makes sense to me why I get a feel of American country-western or American Southwestern feel. Its because a great deal of folk and country western/Americana music is really rooted in Irish folk music. Dont know if there was any intent in your part at all but i think its great that you can play a great Flamenco piece and sound authentic to the compas and technique yet have a certain flavor come out that is different and yet it all works well.
Class! Outrageously good John, fair play man
This is fantastic.
This is outstanding John. You are world class and you deserve to be touring the world. I'm currently living in Jerez, studying flamenco so I can understand the level of your playing. A true virtuoso. The feel of this piece is magnificent amigo. Where did you learn to play like this?
Sam Hardy Thanks a million for your kind words man. I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Lucky you to be living in Jerez. In case you are interested, I am in the process of transcribing all my pieces, this one included. They will be available in Standard Notation & TAB from my website very soon. If you are interested, feel free to send me a message here or on @johnwalshguitar or @ and I will be back to you when they are complete!Thanks again for your kind words. It means a lot to me to know that my music touches people!
