You have to understand that these guys are legends, both at the top of their genres. It takes talent, and a lifetime of dedication to reach where they are.
There are even older legends who's names escape me at the moment but, in recent times of being recorded where anyone can hear I'd say Paco is at the top. He also gets many bonus points from me for his finger style instead of picking. I tried finger picking and it's way more dedication todo it on the level he does than using a pick. Sadly gave up on it because I suffered nerve damage and can't sense what I'm doing except with a pick.
not just top of their genres. true virtuosity is beyond genre. for guitarists, the flamenco tradition is the highest level of virtuosity a guitarist can achieve.
AL was at this level before he was old enough to vote! A child virtuoso in the truest sense, he was called upon to be the guitarist in Chick Corea's jazz-fusion supergroup, Return to Forever at age 17. It's artists like him and drummer Senri Kawaguchi that make the case for reincarnation quite plausible.

Keith Richards: "You say I am a guitar legend. You have no idea. There are only two or three guitarists that can be considered legends. Above all is Paco de Lucía" Mark Knopfler said once about Paco de Lucia: "When I hear him, I understand I don't know how to play guitar". Paco De Lucia=GOAT
While there isn't concrete proof for either of these quotes, the media often resorts to using rock stars' opinions to validate the genius of Paco or flamenco. Shortly after Paco's passing, there was an article translated from Spanish entitled "Rock Stars don't understand flamenco" in El País, which sheds light on this issue. Nevertheless, it's widely agreed that Paco was an unparalleled talent in the realm of flamenco and possibly one of the finest guitarists overall.
Paco de Lucía nació para pasar a la historia como Dios de la guitarra flamenca. Superdotado, su hijo rodó el film documental LA BÚSQUEDA, para que el mundo se acercara a la obra y la personalidad de Don Francisco Sánchez Gómez,1947/2014(Paco de Lucía). D.e.P.
Al just posted this on his page. So he appreciates you guys reacting to his video with Paco. I'm still blown away how Paco can finger pick this fast. Unbelievable.
The technique Paco use is called "picado" its not easy, takes years to master (or at least try to master) and its very taxing on the fingers. Pacos been doing it since he was really young. Its amazing that even at the age he was on the video he could do it without much trouble. Age don't come free and speedy techcniques are even harder as one grown old. Al DI Meola is another beast on his own. But Paco is flamenco, its in his blood. When one talk about flamenco, only a very tiny amount of guitarist can be considered to be in the same boat as Paco. And most of them said he was the best. Oh!, and lets not forget improvisation, they know each other for years, and theres no one time they play this song the same, its just a frame, and they build the song on it different each time they play it.
That video is probably the most laid back of all the versions I have ever heard. In the late 70's, they, with John McLaughlin, recorded a live album "Friday Night in San Francisco" that is really amazing. Terrific video..
Al DiMeola se vino a España a la Región de Andalucia para estar con Paco de Lucia y aprender música de FLAMENCO , estuvo muchos meses con él , ahora AL DI MEOLA es un fanático del FLAMENCO
The incredible thing is that Paco has it both easier and harder at the same time: easier because he has "four more picks" than Al, since he uses all of his fingers to pick at some point, having easier acces to different strings in short bursts; yet MUCH harder because using all those five fingers in unison at those speeds is, as any half baked guitarist worth their while will tell you, f'ing hard.
Great that someone suggested these legends. A buddy at work gave me the "Friday Night in San Francisco" (there are three playing!) CD around 2007/8 and I was blown away, so good. Nothing that I listen to very often, but every now and then I watch a live performance by the guys, because it's just fascinating how well they harmonize and what skills they have!
I was fortunate enough to see Al play at a very small club in New Hope PA. It held about 100 people. As a guitar player, it was one of the most magical nights of my life.
I think this concert was in Hamburg, Germany, shortly before Paco deceased. RIP Paco! I like your video and the respect you show for these outstanding musicians so much, please more of it!!
Paca was and still is the best on the accoustic guitar... He is a legend... Is like a super hero... I'm really glad that you react to him... Congratulations for your channel and saluts from Brazil...
Two fantastic legends playing together they make a full band with only two guitars. It´s amazing. They are playing the guitars and looking at the other one. WOW.
The first time I saw Al Di Meola was when his band opened for Santana at Merriweather Post Pavilion (in Maryland), August 1980. That show blew me away (Di Meola jammed with Santana during the encore)! Then I saw the Paco De Lucia/Al Di Meola/John McLaughlin show at DAR Constitution Hall (Washington D.C.) the next year. The live album that came out from that tour is still one of my favorite live albums of all time! I also saw a later tour with those same guys (at The Wax Museum) with special guest Steve Morse!! OMG! It was ridiculous! I've seen Al with Return to Forever a couple times too, as well as on the Electric Rendezvous tour. He is so amazing! You guys should hear him plugged in! He RIPS!!
I wish they'd shown more of Paco's hands, especially laying rhythm for Al's riffs. Paco's influence in the flamenco world was huge and he helped mentor Al.
Wow, I didn't know you reacted to this. In the 1980s I ran across a guitar magazine and there was an article about who is the most influential guitarist. They asked a couple dozen of the top guitarist their opinion. Over half of the guitarists polled had 1 name in either #1, 2 or 3. That name was Al DiMeola. I went to the record store but could only find Elegant Gypsy. This song is on it. Totally blew me away. I spent 30 yrs tracking down his albums, I have all but 2. Amazing body of work. I rank him #1 on my list of favorite guitarist of all time. Always happy to see anyone find him.
Paco de Lucia y el resto de los mortales que rascamos una guitarra... La unica vez que he llorado en un concierto fue escuchando y viendo a este señor... Se te echa mucho de menos Maestro
"You say I am a guitar legend. You have no idea. There are only two or three guitarists that can be considered legends. Above all is Paco de Lucía," by Keith Richards.
Solo tienes que ver este video para darte cuenta que Meola esta comenzando a subir la escalera con 100 pisos en donde le espera en el tejado Paco. Estoy seguro que Meola tiene talento inmenso y más allá de eso una sensibilidad creativa con la guitarra a un nivel como pocos, pero Paco es incomparable. Maestro de maestros.
So glad you reacted to this. Unbelievable stuff. There is also video footage and a live album (friday night in san francisco) where they add John McGlauhlin to the mix….yeah…he is just as sick a player as al and paco. R.I.P paco ! Great reaction !
Best part when you delve deeper into music history shred masters have always existed. Might not always be the most musically pleasing but I love a master of a instrument that does what ever he wants playing with the freedom of his passion and soul.
I saw Paco, Al, and John McLaughlin in the early eighties, with Steve Morse opening, and joining them during the show. It was quite exhausting. In a good way.
I've listened to this many times over the decades (Friday Night in San Francisco is one of my favorite albums of all time) but I never got to SEE it. Nice.
Thank you for reintroducing me to Al and introducing me to Paco. One of the commenters said that these were two different melodies harmonized brilliantly. I wonder if they practiced this-probably.
...And they do all this on NYLON STRING guitars... Paco's is not even electrified, it's pure acoustic with just a mic. Nylon strings on classical guitars are WAY less forgiving than steel strings on electric, and maybe heavily distorted, guitars. You can't allow any kind of mistake. These two guys were, and Al still is (RIP Paco), at the top of guitar playing. In "Friday night in San Francisco", and in the more recently released "Saturday night in San Francisco", there are the same two guys PLUS another legend of jazz-fusion music, John McLaughlin. Totally mind blowing... They were recorded in 1981. 🙂
I've been listening to this album since 1978, it's brilliant. One of my favourite tracks is " Lady of Rome , Sister of Brazil" very short but worth a listen.
And don’t forget that Paco played all his life by ear, that was the way for flamenco guitarists in Spain. You can see in this clip several mistakes because Paco was trying to learn to improvise following the chords.
Paco expresó su agradecimento al haber incursionado en el jazz con sus amigos, eso no es nuevo, cuando se llega a ciertos niveles quieres estar en todo y lo logró con Di Meola y maclauglin, se admiraba unos a otros y eran muy amigos
I recommend a live performance of Diana Navarro "CUPLERIAS GALA DE LOS PREMIOS CERES" is a very versatile singer singing different styles of music and those particular melismas that transmit so much and that ability to lengthen the notes, honestly is amazing.
👏👏👏ÉSO ES SER HONESTO, AHÍ ESTÁ LA DIFERENCIA DE NIVEL POR MUCHO LOS QUIERAN IGUALAR, EL DÍA QUE ALDI TOQUE SIN PUA SE PODRÁ VER E IGUALAR, MIENTRAS TANTO ESTÁ PACO Y LUEGO LOS DEMÁS. UN SALUDO.
What I truly love about this video is, if you watch Paco and Al, the audience disappears for them. Once they start trading solos, you can see they start feeding off each other, and there is no longer anyone there but the other guitarist for both of them. Two true virtuosos enjoying jamming together on one of their old classics: a beautiful moment A note on Al DiMeola: legend holds that when he was learning guitar, he lived in a small, paper-thin walled, NY apt. He couldn't use an amp, so he got used to playing everything staccato (so he could hear himself), which explains his blazing pick speed.
Verdad, aunque este tiene el titulo errado, esta no es Entre dos Aguas sino Rio Ancho - Mediterranean Sundance. No sè porque este erro ocurra en tantos videos de Paco, he visto muchos (especialmente de performances en la tv) que eran titulados "Entre dos aguas" y aprestaban toda otra pieza... Hasta Bulerias! 🤦🏼♂
La verdad esta es composición de Al Di Meola como Mediterránean sundance, luego versionada por Paco de Lucía como Río Ancho, ambos eran muy amigos y se admiraba mutuamente
Th crazy part is that he original live recoding of these two doing this song from the album "Friday Night in San Francisco" puts this performance to shame. It's twice as long, twice as fast and will blow you off the map! I highly recommend it.
Ver estos moustros, hace ver pequeñitos a otros grandes interpretes de la guitarra, independiente del genero; soy fan del buen rock, de los Page, Clapton, Gilmour, Satriani, Bai, pero estos tipos rompieron el molde.
hola amigo soy Julián de Valencia España 🇪🇦 y hay una historia de paco y andi meola que se dice que cuando tenían que estar en el escenario paco se puso muy nervioso y le pidió a andi que le diera un cigarro de la risa, mariguana para estar tranquilo y cuando subieron a el escenario le dijo que lo siguiera si podía y inprovisaron ,y tenéis que reaccionar a otro gran guitarrista español manolo Sanlúcar y su canción caballo negro 🇪🇦 saludos desde España
for me, it`s all about communication, you can see it in their eyes, o.k. your play and i will follow you and now what do you think about this, this is music, together, different style but one goal. It ist so simple to be in music to be together as one. And now the big question! Why not everyday?
Esta improvisación está basada en una canción de Paco de Lucía llamada "rio ancho" os aconsejo que la oigáis interpretada solo por él o con su sexteto.
IF you guys really enjoyed this may I suggest you watch the videos made by the Mahavishnu Orchestra. I guarantee you will never be the same. Specifically the one with Billy Cobham on drums
Try to listen to the friday night in san francisco version of this piece when paco and al di meola was young and you will see that they were phenomenos

Yes, these two plonkers are just nodding their heads with no real clue of the talent of these Masters of Spanish music.

Elegant Gypsy is a masterpiece of Jazz Fusion and progressive music in general.
No doubt. Changed my life
Two fantastic legends playing together they make a full band with only two guitars. It´s amazing. They are playing the guitars and looking at the other one. WOW.
Carlos Santana once said that his guitar was tuned by the angels, Paco's was directly tuned by God
I'm thankful of God to bless me giving me life in the same time to Paco de Lucia. To see him playing once worth a whole lifetime
R.I.P. great Paco !

What's incredible to me is how little Paco looks at his frets.
Saw these guys with John McLaughlin at the Albert Hall, London in 1981(?)... memorable ;-)

love to see you react to my teacher's teacher's friend. May he rest in piece. much love guys!
Paco era de otro planeta
Paco de Lucía "Entre dos Aguas" BRUTAL.
Se llama mediterránean sundance, versionada por Paco como Río Ancho, entre dos aguas es otro tema

It's Flamenco, and it's spectacular!
*Paco De Lucia recorded with Bryan Adams the song "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?"* 🎵🎸🎭💿🎵
I've listened to this many times over the decades (Friday Night in San Francisco is one of my favorite albums of all time) but I never got to SEE it. Nice.
Piece of cake! I played the entire song one time, about the same speed. (Then the alarm went off and I had to mow yards.)
Paco is at his best playing bulerias, alegrias, soleas and other flamenco palos (flamenco rhythms).
The one and only. Great reaction BTW 😊
Que grande eres Paco
paco de lucia was so deferent ,, the best ever .
Cada vez que ouço essa musica me impressiono com um detalhe novo
Thank you for reintroducing me to Al and introducing me to Paco. One of the commenters said that these were two different melodies harmonized brilliantly. I wonder if they practiced this-probably.
It took years for the dicipher to put this onto sheet music after the og performance. Its crytpic af
Most of the performance is probably improvised, as is the tradition in both jazz and flamenco.
La ostia de verdad,una máquina
I saw both 3 guitars Tours in Philly, with John Mc.
One word WOW
EXELENTE. PERFECT ENDING.
Paco ..Master, God & Commander

I can't believe that you, being musicians, didn't know about Paco de Lucia... In any case, I congratulate you for your genuine reaction.
You should hear al play this on a steel string acoustic guitar
I've been listening to this album since 1978, it's brilliant. One of my favourite tracks is " Lady of Rome , Sister of Brazil" very short but worth a listen.
Check out Al's on stuff like Race with the Devil on Spanish Highway you will be blown away, rock fusion power

Different styles. Al plays with a pick while Paco is all fingers.

A note on Al DiMeola: legend holds that when he was learning guitar, he lived in a small, paper-thin walled, NY apt. He couldn't use an amp, so he got used to playing everything staccato (so he could hear himself), which explains his blazing pick speed.
Olé!!! Awsome duo forever!

I have been a fan of Al from Return to Forever.
The man is a master of the guitar. A guitarists guitarist.
Amazing
Paco de Lucia is God.
I think you'd love Al Di Meola's song Electric Rendezvous, he goes rock on that one!

the goat .......PACO
"Elegant Gypsy" changed all our lives back in '77. You should check out Return To Forever as well, outstanding musicians.
You must listening the Album Friday Nigth in San Francisco ( 1981)
paco de lucia el maestro andaluz de la guitarra española,el mas grande de todos los tiempos.

Pacoooooohhh te queremos ❤
This actually a medley of Mediterranean Sundance / Rio Ancho
I didn't know David Carradine could play the guitar like that!!!!!!!! 🤣
there's another version with John McLaughlin added to the other 2
For you metal heads, I suggest strongly to check "Race With Devil On Spanish Highway" by Al Di Meola. Headphones mandatory 👍
If you want to blow up your mind hear to Paco with Camaron de la Isla singing
Poner entre dos aguas
IF you guys really enjoyed this may I suggest you watch the videos made by the Mahavishnu Orchestra. I guarantee you will never be the same. Specifically the one with Billy Cobham on drums
If you really want a treat track down "The Super Trio" which included John McLaughlin as the 3rd guitarist.
Try to listen to the friday night in san francisco version of this piece when paco and al di meola was young and you will see that they were phenomenos
The camera guy always focusing the face of the guitar players instead of the guitar.
I could barely stand to watch it. The greatest musicians. Terrible recording.
Pls react to paco de lucia-Guajiras de Lucia (1974).Unbelievable performance
"if" you like this, I suggest
