This was a first take, live with a metronome. Testing out the acoustics of this room I want to shoot more in this year. Please let me know what you think in the comments. Thanks for watching and Please subscribe. -Ben
This definitely sounds very good, but personally I would place mic a bit closer. In fact, I would probable put two mics, one small diaphragm that is closer, and one that is more distanced. The other one should be more quiet in the mix, and with it you can regulate amount of natural reverb.
This was is a stunning composition, executed with absolute precision and the inclusion of the metronome was genius, the constant ticking lending a contemplative mood that signifies the relentless moving of time and events, passing whether we like it or not. Gorgeous layering and crisp tones carry you along, not a wasted second nor a frivolous note, everything cohesive an expressive, loved it! Despite being a beautiful room, I found the acoustics a bit bathroomy, sorry Ben, unless that's what you were aiming for? Gotta say, I really liked the Malaguena mic set up. 😎
Hey, great playing. I’m no expert but I thought there was an ever so slight tin sound while doing the runs and fills. I listened while wearing my Bose sport earbuds. Could be the UA-cam sound compression. Anyway, nice piece. Very enjoyable to listen to.
Acoustics are fine to me...sounds natural...slight echo/delay...sounds great...sounds live...keep it up brother! and those "reverse sweeps"! what the!?!...fantastic!
The room sounds great: wet without being boomy. The piece is lovely and as usual, Ben, just a gorgeous performance, both tight with the metronome and expressive! Thank you!
Well that was spot on ….loved the swept arpeggios! Never quite seen it like that in Flamenco styles, combination traditional flamenco arpeggio and modern sweep technique. Must have looked at your right hand technique for like 5 minutes…good show mate! P.S. the room sounds great as well.
Amazing performance as always. As for the room acoustics, I can't say that with certainty but I think I heard a slight echo in the middle frequencies. I could be totally wrong though. But if that's the case, then maybe repositioning the microphone slightly might improve acoustics (or make things worse...)
I never put the right hand fingers in my scores (I think fingerings are a personal approach). However, that's what the video is for, plus with YouTUbe we can slow down the video to inspect the fingerings. Faster this way than just reading off the page.
Your Cordoba recording of this is my all time favorite... it's got the absolute right mix of everything including percussion, vocals, so much feeling, effortlessness, and spontaneity. Really timeless performance for me. I always go back to that one: ua-cam.com/video/DwmP6brFN7I/v-deo.html

we never get tired of your music!
The acoustic is good in your room, just the right amount of float, also the light is beautiful
the acoustic in the room is spot on, would love to see more videos from this room.

Great piece! Funny question.. what metronome is that? I like the analog and small size.
BENS MUSIC LIVES IN MY HEART SIEMPRE!
Beautiful 😻 RIP 🪦 brother 🙏🏼
Thanks for all the beautiful music you share with this world 🙌Rest in peace dear 🌹
R.I.P Dostum Gerçek bir yetenektin bana göre
This was the first piece I learnt from you….
Ben, as always I’m truly amazed by your performance, your drummer is also spot on, couldn’t be tighter. Thanks!
J'adore ce morceau de musique je vie en camague berceau du compas gitans
Le meilleur!! RIP ben 😢
You are amazing guitarrrist Ben, you are one of my favorite guitarrrist
R.I.P sir
I consider the Cordoba version of this song one of my favorite songs of all time. Stoked to hear it fully transcribed! Amazing work.

J'adore ❤
I am impressed. Thank you!!
Lovely. There were a few times I was thinking you were transitioning into "Dust in the Wind".
Favorite BW original
Your getting deeper and deeper into the pure gypsy sound. This sound is fantastic, since very few of us can create the right rhythm match connection.
Dame.... Ben Wood Guitar!
RIP Ben.
Thank you Ben.
Just brilliant!!! 🔥🔥🔥👍 I wish I could play like that! 🙏🔥👍
I wish I could 'like' this every time I came to watch it again: so inspirational!
This is my favorite piece of all time
Wow,wow,wow, well done our Ben !

Love your plants too 🥂
Acoustics are fine to me...sounds natural...slight echo/delay...sounds great...sounds live...keep it up brother! and those "reverse sweeps"! what the!?!...fantastic!
Señor Woods .. any plans for Touring this year (2022)? .. just wondering ..
BTW - beautiful room.
The room sounds great: wet without being boomy. The piece is lovely and as usual, Ben, just a gorgeous performance, both tight with the metronome and expressive! Thank you!

Beautifully playing as always 🥂

how to do this strumming?
Sir I can play flamenco technique in classical guitar????
It works but different sound
Hey Ben, it would be helpful if you put some fingerings in your notations. Especially for the right hand.
I never put the right hand fingers in my scores (I think fingerings are a personal approach). However, that's what the video is for, plus with YouTUbe we can slow down the video to inspect the fingerings. Faster this way than just reading off the page.
Que som adorável
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I miss Ben
wich ortega guitar is this ?
The difference between a pro and amateur: one that can play with a metronome (in Compas) and barely notice it is on!
Quelle est cette b guitare?
The metronome dances to your music. R.I.P.
Poeples pay you Ben wood
