(EDIT: TO BE CLEAR....I CLEARLY SAY IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DO WITH FINGERS, as you can obviously hear my try and fail. I say maybe with a pick and even then I'm only talking about speed). Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/0gmQGtjpkrc/v-deo.htmlsi=frwxHV8S9xyp6Quk
@@TheJLPShow which is why i called bs precisely. Listen i may not play lately....BUT i spend in my youth some years playing CLASSICAL guitar which is very different by what people describe as acoustic and also from Flamengo guitar we see here . In case you did not know as you play electric and electric usually is played with a pick, guitar in music theory is classified as a polyphonic instrument like piano is , in contrast for example to a violin which is considered monophonic as by it's strings placement and geometry the bow can only simultaneously touch 2 adjacent strings maximum. In guitar when one finger plucks like in Flamengo and classical as well those who use fingers in acoustic, he had the option to use thump on bass string and 3 fingers on bottom strings simultaneously, striking a chord, as well play sequentially by strumming which is called an arpeggio. Pick players can only do the later. Regardless of how fast you play (and trust me is not as fast as tremolo technique like for example in piece Recuerdos de la Alhambra) you are limited to 1 note at a time sequentially. And no i am not biased against electric guitar, heck i am a metalhead and enjoy a solo as much as a good riff, but i know the limitations and can distinguish. If you want to understand classical guitar try find anything played by arguably the greatest classical player who was Andres Segovia. And for flamenco try Paco de Lucia or alternatively another great one, Paco Pena
I saw him play in Germany, and he ended up playing for about three and a half hours. Because the crowd simply would not let him leave. He did something like NINE encores. Well dressed People in one of Europe’s great concert halls (The Beethoven’s Liederhalle in Stuttgart), who almost rioted because left the stage. He kept coming back. No one sat down at all for about the last 2 hours of the show. It was described in the local paper as “a religious experience”. A friend of mine who is a brilliant guitarist was there with me, and he had tears in his eyes. He said “it’s like seeing God, but for guitarists”
There's a movie about Camaron, not too bad. But after watching Bob Marley One Love movie, I' m not waitting for Paco de Lucía movie in case they waste it
@@Pardo-k1q Ese era su padre. Viendo lo bueno que iba a ser, de niño lo encerrò en una habitaciòn a tocar todo el dìa. A los 14 Paco ya estaba tocando en USA con uno de los mejores grupos flamencos de entonces.
@carlosperezleiro4375 Eso, poco se habla del nivel de estrés tipo hermanas Williams, familia Jackson al que estuvo sujeto. Con ese nivel de crunching o sales maestro de tu arte o acabas muy mal.
He played with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin...In an interview, Al said "we learned a lot from Paco"...the interviewer asked "And what did he learn from you?"...Al: "to speak English"
Coming from a genius like Al Di Meola, that's ridiculously high praise. I love Paco's works. Ever since Billy Sheehan mentioned him in an instructional videon as an inspiration, I've loved Paco's unbelievable talent and musicality.
If you think his dexterity is impressive..... Look at this: "Paco de Lucia" DIDNT KNOW how to read or write music, tabletures, etc.... (you can search it online) He always played "by ear" , all his full life. I think this makes even more increidble and magnific as guitarist......... He always played with him heart and soul. Hello from Spain :)
That's not necessarily uncommon, many great manouch jazz guitarist don't know how to read music (Django, Birelli, Stochelo , Angelo debarre...). Paco is probably the best guitarist that have ever played. I always laugh when rolling stone magazine put Hendrix or else in the first place of any "best guitarist of all time" list. What a joke :)
@@laurent9752 And even more, Rolling Stone magazine didn't include him in their list of 250 greatest guitarists, hehehe. It's a really joke..you're right. It's obviously an untrustful list .
Slash: “Es un guitarrista asombroso. Llevo escuchándolo desde los catorce años”. Más tarde, hace 7 años cuando falleció, escribió en sus redes sociales: “Noticia tristes sobre Paco De Lucía. Uno de los guitarristas más fenomenales que jamás he visto tocar. Si nunca le habéis oído deberíais escuchar sus discos. RIP”. Knopfler: ''Al verle he entendido que no sé tocar la guitarra''. Keith Richards: ''Hay dos o tres guitarristas que se puedan considerar leyenda. Y por encima de todos ellos está Paco de Lucía'' Santana ''Está al nivel de Stephen Hawkins, de Albert Einstein, John Coltrane, Bob Marley o Michael Jackson … todos ellos son genios inmortales. Le vi el año pasado, que vino a tocar a Las Vegas , y fue algo increíble. Un destello enorme, una fuerza de la naturaleza''. George Benson: "No me atrevería a grabar con Paco de Lucía, no estoy a su altura" Eric Clapton lo definió en su libro "Guitarra: música, historia e intérpretes" como una "figura titánica de la música flamenca".

Paco de Lucía era tan bueno, que te dan ganas de romper todas tus guitarras y dedicarte a ser contador en una sala a prueba de sonido
@ Envidia muy malsana😅. Yo que tenía problemas con la flauta de plastico del colegio, porque me costaba coordinar los dedos. O tapaba todos los agujeros o ninguno. Lo hace taan fácil, como si cualquiera pudiera aprenderlo en 3 minutos. Y eso que no entra dentro de la música que me gusta, pero no me extraña que la reacción sea de alucinar en colores.
@@aker1973 Estoy de acuerdo contigo, estos genios que llevan ese ritmo, llevan la música tan dentro de ellos, hacen ver como si tocar un instrumento fuese tan fácil. Yo comencé a escuchar música andina mirándolos parecía tan fácil, que enseguida me compre una Zampolla, creyendo que al día siguiente me convertiría en la versión femenina de Leo Rojas. No logré sacar una sola nota del señor instrumento, no, no es tan fácil como se ve.😅😅
that MAGNIFICENT bongo player was Pepe Ebano,from Peru,and he was a master who played with the best around the world.Paco de Lucia was a revolutionary and introduce new elements to Flamenco,like the bongos.Another thing to notice is that this performance was mostly improvised,because Paco de Lucia plays this song a different way anytime that play it.This is considered a historic moment on spanish tv.
I readily believe that this performance made history in Spanish tv. And yes, Paco plays it different every time. I have read, that he was not even fluent in reading notes. That might explain it, all in his mind, heart and fingers…
Paco de Lucía es una leyenda, ya no habrán guitarristas como él. Él mismo ha declarado de que niño practicaba la guitarra 14hs todos los días. Esos números hoy son impensados, es una absoluta bestia. Y nos legó una de las citas (para mi) más contundentes de la constancia y la práctica: "Si dejo de tocar la guitarra un día, lo noto yo. Si dejo de tocarla una semana, lo notan mis amigos. Si dejo de tocarla un mes, lo nota el público" Paco de Lucía is an absolute legend, there will no longer be guitarists like him. He said that as a child, he practiced the guitar 14 hours every day. Those numbers today are unthinkable, it is an absolute beast. And he left us one of the most powerful quotes (for me) about perseverance and practice: "If I stop playing the guitar for one day, I notice it. If I stop playing it for a week, my friends notice it. If I stop playing it for a month, the public notices it"
Le vi tocar en Houston en 1992, dentro de un ciclo de conciertos por el 5 Centenario. Tuve la oportunidad de saludarle después del concierto y tenía los dedos desollados porque llevaba meses sin tocar por una depresión….. yo desde luego no lo noté, es más, quede tan maravillado que empece a tocar la guitarra hasta hoy. Era un auténtico genio.
tremendo! Así es, practicaba de niño 11 horas diarias dijo una vez, literalmente lo que hace es por llevar toda una vida de dedicación a ello, por eso nadie lo igualará. Porque nadie va a sacrificar 11 horas de su dia durante toda su vida para ser el mejor como él hizo
Master of masters in the art of playing the Spanish guitar. There’s a story where Sting was asked in a tv show what had he been doing during the summer and he replied. I’ve been learning how to play the guitar with the best guitarist in the world. The interviewer said a bunch of very important names and he said: none of them. Paco de Lucia he said. The guy didn’t even know who he was.
Brian Adams was also in Malibu trying to organize the recording of his song "to really love a woman" and asked who the best guitarist was to propose collaborating on his song. They told him that the best was Paco de Lucia, so Brian Adams called his house in Spain to propose working together, but they told him that he couldn't talk to him because he was traveling. And Brian said: can you give me the phone number of where Paco is? and they answered yes, of course, it's in that hotel in Malibu... In the end, Paco de Lucia was a few meters away from Brian Adams in the hotel across the street, and they played that song together.
Yeap I am Cuban Paco de Lucia was not only well know in Spain he was know in alll the latinoamarica and what you say about Sting is truth...the guy got blow out by him when Paco de Lucia die...it was a sad day..I remember someone say in FB ..when he new was know... that Paco die one guy say.......Covert your guitars with a black clothe the master of the Flmenco music have die..i t was a sad day....He was this type of musicians that you think is going to live for ever...Even in spanish culture and latin culture when you want to say you are confuse..You say : Estoy entre dos aguas...!!! Emotions pasion...I was a kid when he came with this and he blow everyone away...
I NEVER get tired of seeing people get speechless admiring our beloved, our greatest, Paco de Lucía. He is the peak of Spanish flamenco guitar playing, and we are so honoured to be alive to listen to his heritage. God bless him in the sky.
My father is the director of that music program in the Spanish tv and me, as a child, I had de luck to assist to the studio recording a few afternoons. Pure Magic.
@@cayrips If I am not mistaken he said that on social media when Paco de Lucía died in 2014, but 10 years has passed from that so good luck finding the original post
Amongst many other, Rolling Stones Keith Richards once said: " There are only two or three guitar players that can be considered legends, and on top of them all, is Paco de Lucia"
Here in France, he's had a great career and is so loved and recognize as a tremendous, maby the best guitarist ever, and personnaly i looove this song, i listen to it from time to time... as a percussionist, i love how he plays with the tempo!
My grandfather was a neighbour of Paco de Lucia and a close friend of his father. Paco practised the guitar all the time, even in the wee hours of the morning you could hear him playing the guitar over and over again, accompanied by his father as he taught him rhythm. He was and is unrepeatable, but in his music our flamenco legacy is repeated over and over again, the perfect fusion of Arabic and Andalusian harmony, which the south has.
Believe it or not, Rolling Stone thinks there are 250 guitarists who are better than Paco De Lucia. I’m still waiting for someone to make it make sense to me.
He's our pride and joy in Spain, he really is. I wish he was more recognized internationally, although I'm pretty sure that professional guitarists have at least heard of him. There's a metro station in Madrid named after him, of the newest stations, and that made me very happy
Soy española, no muy flamenca porque es un arte muy especial y no fácil de entender, pero este hombre y,esta melodía en concreto, me sigue hipnotizando hasta hoy, que peino canas ya😊
Hola,sin entrar ya en sus piezas ya más flamencas y cantadas con camarón de la isla,que eso por lo que deduzco de sus comentarios no es santo de su devocion,ni de la mía. Pero es indiscutible que es y será un genio de la guitarra por siempre. Le aconsejo,escuché,"río ancho",que es otra rumba como entre dos aguas y la de tiko-tiko creo es una malagueña,uno de los palos del flamenco,pero solo instrumental,no hay canto. Ahí hace una auténtica sangría de las cuerdas de su guitarra. Después ya más improvisación cuando se junto con Jhon Mclawing y Meola en un festival llamado el sundance festival samer,o algo así,mi inglés es nefasto. Ahí a cual es mejor,madre mía,eso sí es tocar la guitarra,lo demás son tonterías.
Well, you're right. He started very early. I saw an interview with him on the Spanish TV, many years ago. The interviewer was insisting so much on this "talent" thing, Paco got kind of annoyed, and he cut the interviewer off at the first chance saying: "Yes, you're right, I've been blessed with this natural talent. And because of this natural talent, since when I was 5 years old, I spend up to 14 hours PER DAY practicing the instrument". 😅🙂🤦🏼♂ If you want to get a better glimpse of his incredible talent, you should watch ANY of his videos in which he plays either "Bulerias", "Almoraima", or some other classical flamenco... Guitar solo, I mean. THAT is actually something to break one's brain apart. 😁 And if you want him playing with another INCREDIBLE guitar playing, check "Mediterranean Sundance", both with Al di Meola or with Al and John McLaughlin. There's a number of those performances live videos. 🙂 Another great guitarist that is emerging recently is a young Italian guy named Matteo Mancuso. His fingerpicking style is unique, and he's been praised by a number of great guitarists, including Al di Meola, Steve Vai, and others. Check any of his live videos, or the official music videos from his most recent album "The Journey". 🙂 I just have a limitless admiration for these guys. 🤩 Loved your reaction to one of my favourite songs. It's always a joy to watch you reacting to something really good. You seem to PERCEIVE it at many levels. 🙂 See you next time!
Paco lives in those young guitar gods. We can hear his massive influence in Marcin, Matteo, Tim and other insane talented musicians. They take their inspiration from absolute bests.
People usually oppose talent and practice. It's a falacy. Talent determines how far practice can take you. It doesn't matter if it's art, science or a sport, the hard work is a constant for both the talented and untalented.
Audience member: “How did you get so good?” Andy McKee: “Practice.” (Laughter) Andy McKee: “No. Really.” There are some natural talents a person can have but nothing beats dedication and work. And Paco is the living embodiment of this. I would have been annoyed as well 😄.
Theres a buleria he plays with Camaron De Isla that is absolutely incredible. Ive never witnessed any human being in any endevour have such mastery as Paco.
This is not the album version, but a television performance in which Paco de Lucía improvises a good part of the song, with excellent results. Awesome.
Paco is one of my old guitarheroes. I remember "Mediterranean sundance" he playd with Al DiMeola and John McLaughlin. Stunning. Paco was one of the best. Great guy. Thank you.
Me encanta ver a gente descubrir a Paco de Lucía. Un niño prodigio de la guitarra, su padre, también guitarrista. Fue de los primeros en mezclar flamenco con otros estilos musicales, le impresionó muchísimo el blues y el jazz y le influyó en renovar el flamenco. Tocó con grandes músicos de diferentes generos, pero a nivel mundial el flamenco no es muy conocido y eso no le dió el reconocimiento mundial que se hubiera merecido.
I've been playing flamenco guitar for 20 years now. When I watch or hear a great player play a falseta I don't have the dexterity for yet, I can still understand *how* they play it. To this day, I still can't tell how he played the one at 7:31 here, even if we have clear video of his hands playing it. Paco de Lucia is a legend amongst men, it's hard to not become emotional when listening to him playing his music.
My father worked for IBM from the 1950s thru the 1980s & our family was transferred to Germany in the mid-1970s. By that time he had earned multiple weeks of vacation so we took 3 of them & drove to Spain for a lovely holiday. One of the campgrounds we stayed at had a birthday party for the owner & we were introduced to this kind of Spanish guitar music. When we asked if there was an artist they could recommend for us to buy a record of, they told us of Paco de Lucia. We got the Fuente y Caudal album & I have been a fan ever since. Idk if you can stand to listen to another of his songs w/out your brain exploding (you came pretty close on this song, lol), but if you think it’s worth the risk I would encourage you to check out the song of the same name as the album. It’s my favorite flamenco type song from his album.
I discovered Paco in 1977 and I've been practicing his fingerpicking ever since. He is the master on flamenco guitar! Nobody can come close at least that I'm aware of.
Every single guitarist who saw Paco play had exactly the same feeling. That guy once shared a stage with Al DiMeola and John McLaughlin, everyone playing his own style, and the respect they felt for each other was very visible, but Paco still outplayed everyone
As a Spaniard I can only express how proud I am that Paco existed and that he gave us his beautiful music. "Entre dos Aguas" is one of his best-known songs, but if you want to feel like your head explodes, listen to the song "Almoraima", for example. Or the '88 concert on Polish TV, which is on UA-cam with decent quality. There is much to see and hear from him, his legacy is eternal. The best guitarist in history without a doubt.
The "c" of Lucía is pronounced like "th" in english. Keith Richards once said "Some say I'm a guitar legend. They have no idea. There are 3 or 4 guitarists that we can consider as a legend and above all of them is Paco de Lucía".
Something I notice with some of these really great guitar players is how clean the transition between notes is. Sometimes with less talented players you get the sounds of the fingers sliding along the strings between notes, but the releases are so clean and he doesn't need to feel along the strigs for where to go, he just has perfect muscle memory to make the move and confidently press back onto the strings.
Was at a concert in 1983 in Rome ( teatro Sistina), alt the women were screaming like crazy , he was like a god , it was insane and the best concert I have ever been too 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
im a metalhead all time fan of Slayer megadeth symphonyX etc acciddently listened to him and his brother Ramon de algeciras and since i fell inlove with flamenco and everything with andalusian soul he played in Carthage Tunisia around 2014 few years before the humanity lost the best guitarist in history i was sitting like 20m from the stage he was unhuman
Paco was, is and will remain a legend of the art of Flamenco as a guitarist. He was playing with his soul. He didn't even know how to read music. He recorded himself on a tape recorder and memorized the songs by ear.
He is and will be king of kings, his talent and mastery of the flamenco guitar is mythical....he is unique, the years go by and thanks to the dissemination of his work on the Internet, there are more and more reactions and astonishment.... As a Spaniard and an admirer of his talent in flamenco guitar music you never get tired of listening to him, because of how extraordinary and beautiful his guitar sounds you never get bored...As a person he was shy and humble, but he loved music like no one else and he was super perfectionist....Without words few qualifiers can represent his extraordinary skill.Celestial Paco de Lucia...
The most amazing thing is he always thought he could do it better. He never did it well in his opinion. He was a perfectionist. He was really tired in his last years of playing guitar because he said playing guitar is one of the most exhausting things to do in life. No doubt he was a master and an absolute legend
Especial reconocimiento para los músicos que acompañan a Paco de Lucía...sobre todo para el percusionista peruano a los bongós Jose Luis Ganoza Barrionuevo conocido como Pepe Ébano.
Paco tocaba con su corazón y con su alma, fue el mejor guitarrista del mundo y de todos los tiempos. En España el arte puro está en un nivel muy superior al resto del mundo, hay mucho arte y artistas en cada esquina. Es el país del arte! OLEEEE👏👏👏
Paco de Lucia, influenced the guitarists of Heavy Metal. It was so clean and fast, it really is always considered No. 1 in the world with this incredible clarity in the notes at such speed...
El es un músico que cuando tocaba era uno con la música. Dentro de su cabeza el era música, no había separación entre el y lo que tocaba con la guitarra. De ahí su magia.
You're right, one of my friends studied music, when he told his teachers that he wanted to play metal, absolutely all of his profesors told him to learn to play flamenco. At first he didn't like the idea, then he knew why. It's incredible how flamenco is its own thing but it is very influenced by Arabic music since Spain was in territorial disputes with Morocco and Algeria.
El mejor solo de guitarra de heavy metal español,esta en la bulería Viviré con Camarón y por supuesto Paco y Tomatito,en mi opinión claro,y sin molestar a los guitarristas de heavy españoles, que los hay muy buenos
El embrujo de nuestro Paco, eterno maestro, el mejor de la historia ❤ para los Españoles es muy bonito ver como la música de Paco y su arte, impactan en otras culturas. Gracias. The spell of our Paco, eternal maestro, the best in history ❤ for the Spanish it is very nice to see how Paco's music and his art impact other cultures. Thank you.
Thank you. *Thank you* so much for introducing me to this artist! I sent the link to my 2 oldest friends (60 years) - one of whom sings and plays in community choirs and orchestras, the other ran a music store in the 1960's and 70's. They both asked "where have you been?" I was angry - "you guys never told me about him! I thought you were my friends"....🤣 Just watched Paco and Al Di Meola playing Mediterranean Sundance. Two meastros. The music flows through their eyes.
OLE TUU!! Arabe Guapo... Im so thrilled and happy you shared this amazing Flamenco Guitarist! Paco was/is the MAN!!! I feel extremely proud to be part of a Flamenco family. My young adult daughter is an amazing flamenco guitarist who not only got to meet Paco a couple of years before his passing and gave her some beautiful words of wisdom and advise when she was on her journey with her flamenco guitar playing. And now Paco would be so proud of her especially as a female flamenco guitarist. GRACIAS from the bottom of mi Corazon. Paco, te queremos y ole too!!❤❤❤
Paco de Lucia and Vicente Amigo are the most memorable artists I've seen live. I was so sad when he passed but I am grateful I got to see him play live twice
Hope you are not a cheap baiter nor a troll , nor a revisionist of history raised on Hellyweirdian tall tales either still fighting past wars....But just check that Payo of a genius guitarist baby pictures if only for illustrative purposes, for after all like St. Paul said : We are only to boast that Jesus, God incarnate , God Almighty and Creator died for our salvation; yours too of course. Y que viva Espana!, The Eternsl Spain of Paco, Segovia and Rodrigo's and Victoria Aranjuez. Y ole!
@@alexstewart8097 No, I'm not a troll, I admire Paco, but leave aside the history of Spain and especially its religion, because with that "I don't agree"
This song and performance from the best guitarist ever, my countryman Paco de Lucía, is one of the things that makes me just smile and enjoy. I'm really glad you came to know him. Cheers.
Paco de Lucía was de GOAT of guitar players, and its not me who says that but is said for people like Hendricks, Slash, Santana o Keith Richards who consider themselves just rookies in comparison with Paco. Such a stunning technique and speed has charmed people for decades all over the world, playing his signature style. As humble man as great icon, we lost him a few years ago and was a musical tragedy, not only for Spain, but also for the entire musical world. Rest In Peace and Glory, our Lord of the Strings.
Paco de Lucia era un GENIO con mayúsculas con una guitarra en sus manos, incluso los que no son profesionales del tema lo saben con sólo escucharle y como bien decís viendo su técnica a la hora de tocar sin pua. Decir que ha sido un video muy divertido viendo tus reacciones y comentarios. Un saludo desde España para ti y Remy.
Oh... I'm so glad you enjoy Paco de Lucía. If you search for it you'll find out that most of the greatest guitar players consider him the best. I do. I can't wait to see another reactions to his music. Specially recommended the San Francisco live, with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin... you both are just gone have an orgasm...
Over 30 years ago I saw a live show of Vicente Amigo, considered by many as one of the successors of Paco. The gig was mind blowing and his demeanor playing was very similar to Paco. I got a chance to meet him afterwards and talk to him for a few minutes. When I shook his hand, his hand was almost ethereal. Nimble, bony but also strong fingers. Very nice dude. Humble and friendly with a huge smile on his face. It was the closest I ever was of seeing Paco, but Vicente was/is a worthy heir.
I've also been to a Vicente Amigo's concert about 6 years ago, he was my ex-bf fav guitarist hehe We also went to a Tomatito concert, it was great and so much fun!
He is improvising. That's why he is even better than people think. Mark Knopfler from the Dire Straits said "I thought I can play the guitar well until I saw Paco de Lucia playing" There is no other guitarist even close.
Didn’t Keith Richard’s say something similar? Something like- “you call me a great guitarist. I’m not a great guitarist. There are maybe 3 or 4 people in the world you can really say that about. And then there’s Paco de Lucia”?
I've been a fan of Paco's for decades. He really is a maestro. But you should check out some of the work he's done with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin.
if there's something all spaniards have in common it is our respect and admirasion for this amazing human being. Paco de Lucía was awesome and his music will always live. Fun fact: I watched n interview in spanish where he told things about his life like... he played for about 16h a day as he was growing up and He doesn't know how to read music, he played by ear.
Love your video!!! I can't say how many times I've seen it since you released it. When Paco does his amazing things on the guitar, the look on your face is the same as on mine. This man is from another dimension. Like Paganini on the violin. Or Danny Carey on the drums. All we can do as mere mortals is admire.
I saw THE trio with Al and John twice. Both Di Meola and McLaughlin were rightly in awe of him. He appeared on Al's second solo album and that led to the trio. McLaughlin wrote a beautiful tribute to him. Check out their two live albums, Friday Night in San Francisco and the sequel Saturday night. He plays this piece with Al di Meola and combines it with Mediterranean Sundance.
True. They did a second studio album in the mid 90s and a tour which was very good but apparently there were some tensions although the music was fine, even if it didn't reach the dizzying heights of the first album.@@richard345
When you said it's like breathing for Paco, flamenco was speaking a language. It was a language he grew up with. At first he used his talent to put food on the family table then he nurtured his talent to fill his soul ; this was the hardest part for him to master.
Thank you for choosing Paco de Lucía to react in your channel. Here in Spain we know very well tvat He was the Biggest! Regards from the Mediterranean Sea
Cant even imagine your face when u listen to Yamandu Costa. Amaaaaazing live and young clasic guitar player. You will thanks to him. Cheers. By the way, Paco with McLaughlin and Di Meola will bang your mind.
No me canso de ver vuestro video reaccionando a nuestro gran guitarrista Paco de Lucía. Como español me siento agradecido por vuestras palabras, más aún cuándo existe esa complicidad entre la música árabe y la española después de tantos siglos de conexión, mamándo la una de la otra... Un abrazo fuerte...

Regardless of how fast you play (and trust me is not as fast as tremolo technique like for example in piece Recuerdos de la Alhambra) you are limited to 1 note at a time sequentially. And no i am not biased against electric guitar, heck i am a metalhead and enjoy a solo as much as a good riff, but i know the limitations and can distinguish. If you want to understand classical guitar try find anything played by arguably the greatest classical player who was Andres Segovia. And for flamenco try Paco de Lucia or alternatively another great one, Paco Pena
So you never heard of Al Di Meola? He plays flamenco with a pick. Go and listen to Friday night in San Francisco and get back to me.
a fingernail was his pick...
I saw him play in Germany, and he ended up playing for about three and a half hours. Because the crowd simply would not let him leave. He did something like NINE encores. Well dressed People in one of Europe’s great concert halls (The Beethoven’s Liederhalle in Stuttgart), who almost rioted because left the stage. He kept coming back. No one sat down at all for about the last 2 hours of the show. It was described in the local paper as “a religious experience”. A friend of mine who is a brilliant guitarist was there with me, and he had tears in his eyes. He said “it’s like seeing God, but for guitarists”
👌👌👌
Ese era Paco!!
This made me cry... I'm not even drunk...
Just wow!!
Thanks for sharing such a beautiful story and glad to read you were blessed that day. ❤
Best guitarrist ever.
No discussion.
If he was from the USA he will have 200 movies, serials, documentaries...
There are myriads of documentaries about him. Of course, the are in Spanish.
Insuperable ❤
There's a movie about Camaron, not too bad. But after watching Bob Marley One Love movie, I' m not waitting for Paco de Lucía movie in case they waste it
Sorry but Andrés Segovia is the master, Paco said it himself...
He is considered the best in Spain. He is a genius. He is very famous here.
As a Spaniard, it makes me so proud to know that his art is acknowledged and appreciated.
He was the best and died too young.
Era el tio de Malu, la cantante, toda la familia son unos pedeazo de artistas.
Además, no estudió música, era un autodidacta que se fraguó tocando por bares y tablados, algunas veces con su amigo Camarón de la Isla, otro grande.
@@Pardo-k1q Ese era su padre. Viendo lo bueno que iba a ser, de niño lo encerrò en una habitaciòn a tocar todo el dìa. A los 14 Paco ya estaba tocando en USA con uno de los mejores grupos flamencos de entonces.
@carlosperezleiro4375 Eso, poco se habla del nivel de estrés tipo hermanas Williams, familia Jackson al que estuvo sujeto. Con ese nivel de crunching o sales maestro de tu arte o acabas muy mal.
He was 66. I think he lived a good life.
He played with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin...In an interview, Al said "we learned a lot from Paco"...the interviewer asked "And what did he learn from you?"...Al: "to speak English"
The elegant flamenco. He's our god.
HAHAHAHAHAH that's the best thing I ever heard
Coming from a genius like Al Di Meola, that's ridiculously high praise.
I love Paco's works. Ever since Billy Sheehan mentioned him in an instructional videon as an inspiration, I've loved Paco's unbelievable talent and musicality.
In Spain we dont introduce him in the old cliche debate about who's the best guitarrist in History, because we know that he was over that, he`s HIM.
NO ONE IS TH E BEST !....Paco's own words....THE BEST IS YET TO BE BORN !!
Nadie es mejor
Only children talks in terms of“he‘s the greatest/best“
If you think his dexterity is impressive..... Look at this:
"Paco de Lucia" DIDNT KNOW how to read or write music, tabletures, etc.... (you can search it online) He always played "by ear" , all his full life. I think this makes even more increidble and magnific as guitarist......... He always played with him heart and soul. Hello from Spain :)
Same as the drummer for Micheal Jackson. Both are amazing at what they do/did!
Pretty sure Clapton didn't use notation either
The one and only, Paco de Lucia. The best of flamenco music.
That's not necessarily uncommon, many great manouch jazz guitarist don't know how to read music (Django, Birelli, Stochelo , Angelo debarre...). Paco is probably the best guitarist that have ever played. I always laugh when rolling stone magazine put Hendrix or else in the first place of any "best guitarist of all time" list. What a joke :)
@@laurent9752 And even more, Rolling Stone magazine didn't include him in their list of 250 greatest guitarists, hehehe. It's a really joke..you're right. It's obviously an untrustful list .
Paco is not a guitar player he is the guitar 😂
Hace que la guitarra tenga voz
❤You should come to Andalusia, then you would understand
Slash: “Es un guitarrista asombroso. Llevo escuchándolo desde los catorce años”. Más tarde, hace 7 años cuando falleció, escribió en sus redes sociales: “Noticia tristes sobre Paco De Lucía. Uno de los guitarristas más fenomenales que jamás he visto tocar. Si nunca le habéis oído deberíais escuchar sus discos. RIP”.
Knopfler: ''Al verle he entendido que no sé tocar la guitarra''.
Keith Richards: ''Hay dos o tres guitarristas que se puedan considerar leyenda. Y por encima de todos ellos está Paco de Lucía''
Santana ''Está al nivel de Stephen Hawkins, de Albert Einstein, John Coltrane, Bob Marley o Michael Jackson … todos ellos son genios inmortales. Le vi el año pasado, que vino a tocar a Las Vegas , y fue algo increíble. Un destello enorme, una fuerza de la naturaleza''.
George Benson: "No me atrevería a grabar con Paco de Lucía, no estoy a su altura"
Eric Clapton lo definió en su libro "Guitarra: música, historia e intérpretes" como una "figura titánica de la música flamenca".
Paco de Lucía era tan bueno, que te dan ganas de romper todas tus guitarras y dedicarte a ser contador en una sala a prueba de sonido
@ Envidia muy malsana😅. Yo que tenía problemas con la flauta de plastico del colegio, porque me costaba coordinar los dedos. O tapaba todos los agujeros o ninguno. Lo hace taan fácil, como si cualquiera pudiera aprenderlo en 3 minutos. Y eso que no entra dentro de la música que me gusta, pero no me extraña que la reacción sea de alucinar en colores.
... En realidad, todo eso lo dijo Winston Churchill...
@@aker1973
Estoy de acuerdo contigo, estos genios que llevan ese ritmo, llevan la música tan dentro de ellos, hacen ver como si tocar un instrumento fuese tan fácil. Yo comencé a escuchar música andina mirándolos parecía tan fácil, que enseguida me compre una Zampolla, creyendo que al día siguiente me convertiría en la versión femenina de Leo Rojas. No logré sacar una sola nota del señor instrumento, no, no es tan fácil como se ve.😅😅

that MAGNIFICENT bongo player was Pepe Ebano,from Peru,and he was a master who played with the best around the world.Paco de Lucia was a revolutionary and introduce new elements to Flamenco,like the bongos.Another thing to notice is that this performance was mostly improvised,because Paco de Lucia plays this song a different way anytime that play it.This is considered a historic moment on spanish tv.
That percussion is incredible. Really propels the music to a new place.
@@akv-e5t search for the guy,is just mesmerazing
I readily believe that this performance made history in Spanish tv. And yes, Paco plays it different every time. I have read, that he was not even fluent in reading notes. That might explain it, all in his mind, heart and fingers…
He's fantastic. Thank you. He's so great too. Pete Ebano : i will remember this name.
Paco de Lucía es una leyenda, ya no habrán guitarristas como él. Él mismo ha declarado de que niño practicaba la guitarra 14hs todos los días. Esos números hoy son impensados, es una absoluta bestia. Y nos legó una de las citas (para mi) más contundentes de la constancia y la práctica:
"Si dejo de tocar la guitarra un día, lo noto yo. Si dejo de tocarla una semana, lo notan mis amigos. Si dejo de tocarla un mes, lo nota el público"
Paco de Lucía is an absolute legend, there will no longer be guitarists like him. He said that as a child, he practiced the guitar 14 hours every day. Those numbers today are unthinkable, it is an absolute beast. And he left us one of the most powerful quotes (for me) about perseverance and practice:
"If I stop playing the guitar for one day, I notice it. If I stop playing it for a week, my friends notice it. If I stop playing it for a month, the public notices it"
Le vi tocar en Houston en 1992, dentro de un ciclo de conciertos por el 5 Centenario. Tuve la oportunidad de saludarle después del concierto y tenía los dedos desollados porque llevaba meses sin tocar por una depresión….. yo desde luego no lo noté, es más, quede tan maravillado que empece a tocar la guitarra hasta hoy. Era un auténtico genio.
tremendo! Así es, practicaba de niño 11 horas diarias dijo una vez, literalmente lo que hace es por llevar toda una vida de dedicación a ello, por eso nadie lo igualará. Porque nadie va a sacrificar 11 horas de su dia durante toda su vida para ser el mejor como él hizo
Master of masters in the art of playing the Spanish guitar. There’s a story where Sting was asked in a tv show what had he been doing during the summer and he replied. I’ve been learning how to play the guitar with the best guitarist in the world. The interviewer said a bunch of very important names and he said: none of them. Paco de Lucia he said. The guy didn’t even know who he was.
😳
Brian Adams was also in Malibu trying to organize the recording of his song "to really love a woman" and asked who the best guitarist was to propose collaborating on his song. They told him that the best was Paco de Lucia, so Brian Adams called his house in Spain to propose working together, but they told him that he couldn't talk to him because he was traveling. And Brian said: can you give me the phone number of where Paco is? and they answered yes, of course, it's in that hotel in Malibu... In the end, Paco de Lucia was a few meters away from Brian Adams in the hotel across the street, and they played that song together.
@@mariar.6741Really???
Yeap I am Cuban Paco de Lucia was not only well know in Spain he was know in alll the latinoamarica and what you say about Sting is truth...the guy got blow out by him when Paco de Lucia die...it was a sad day..I remember someone say in FB ..when he new was know... that Paco die one guy say.......Covert your guitars with a black clothe the master of the Flmenco music have die..i
t was a sad day....He was this type of musicians that you think is going to live for ever...Even in spanish culture and latin culture when you want to say you are confuse..You say : Estoy entre dos aguas...!!! Emotions pasion...I was a kid when he came with this and he blow everyone away...
LOVE por la historia
The bongo groove is TOPS, too. Amazing.
Pepe Ébano was his name.
El peruano Pepe Ébano... de lo mejor en percusión que se ha visto
Exacto! Más encima con uno de los mejores percusiones del mundo !
I NEVER get tired of seeing people get speechless admiring our beloved, our greatest, Paco de Lucía. He is the peak of Spanish flamenco guitar playing, and we are so honoured to be alive to listen to his heritage. God bless him in the sky.
My father is the director of that music program in the Spanish tv and me, as a child, I had de luck to assist to the studio recording a few afternoons. Pure Magic.
'MAGIC' is the word', You were very lucky indeed to be there during the recording.
Pepe Ébano on bongo was incredible too. Such tasteful phrasing and impeccable technique. Top level player.
Paco is a Jedi.
What about Jango ? ^^
An extraterrestrian, he was no human
Mark Knopfler: “As soon as I hear Paco, I immediately realize that I don’t know how to play guitar”
where did he say this
@@cayrips If I am not mistaken he said that on social media when Paco de Lucía died in 2014, but 10 years has passed from that so good luck finding the original post
@@Miquelet12 instagram,facebook,twitter?
Sounds reasonable. He definitely knew Paco and his abilities. And Mark often downplayed his own skills.
Amongst many other, Rolling Stones Keith Richards once said: " There are only two or three guitar players that can be considered legends, and on top of them all, is Paco de Lucia"
Here in France, he's had a great career and is so loved and recognize as a tremendous, maby the best guitarist ever, and personnaly i looove this song, i listen to it from time to time... as a percussionist, i love how he plays with the tempo!
My grandfather was a neighbour of Paco de Lucia and a close friend of his father. Paco practised the guitar all the time, even in the wee hours of the morning you could hear him playing the guitar over and over again, accompanied by his father as he taught him rhythm. He was and is unrepeatable, but in his music our flamenco legacy is repeated over and over again, the perfect fusion of Arabic and Andalusian harmony, which the south has.
Eres especial ✨️ de Algeciras
Believe it or not, Rolling Stone thinks there are 250 guitarists who are better than Paco De Lucia. I’m still waiting for someone to make it make sense to me.
It’s simple, he did not come from an English speaking country..
@@Espeisaut Neither did Carlos Santana (Mexico)
These listings are made between a coke and a burger.
Yeah but rolling stone magazine is an absolute piece of crap…
They are confirmed morons at RS.
Posiblemente, el mejor guitarrista de toda la historia. Paco.
Amigo lo de "posiblemente" sobra.
¡De hecho que SI!
Paco De Lucia is the best guitarist that has ever existed in this planet.
Probably the most natural and sincere reaction I've seen from this wonderful guitarist.
He's our pride and joy in Spain, he really is. I wish he was more recognized internationally, although I'm pretty sure that professional guitarists have at least heard of him. There's a metro station in Madrid named after him, of the newest stations, and that made me very happy
Soy española, no muy flamenca porque es un arte muy especial y no fácil de entender, pero este hombre y,esta melodía en concreto, me sigue hipnotizando hasta hoy, que peino canas ya😊
Hola,sin entrar ya en sus piezas ya más flamencas y cantadas con camarón de la isla,que eso por lo que deduzco de sus comentarios no es santo de su devocion,ni de la mía.
Pero es indiscutible que es y será un genio de la guitarra por siempre.
Le aconsejo,escuché,"río ancho",que es otra rumba como entre dos aguas y la de tiko-tiko creo es una malagueña,uno de los palos del flamenco,pero solo instrumental,no hay canto.
Ahí hace una auténtica sangría de las cuerdas de su guitarra.
Después ya más improvisación cuando se junto con Jhon Mclawing y Meola en un festival llamado el sundance festival samer,o algo así,mi inglés es nefasto.
Ahí a cual es mejor,madre mía,eso sí es tocar la guitarra,lo demás son tonterías.
Well, you're right. He started very early. I saw an interview with him on the Spanish TV, many years ago. The interviewer was insisting so much on this "talent" thing, Paco got kind of annoyed, and he cut the interviewer off at the first chance saying: "Yes, you're right, I've been blessed with this natural talent. And because of this natural talent, since when I was 5 years old, I spend up to 14 hours PER DAY practicing the instrument". 😅🙂🤦🏼♂
If you want to get a better glimpse of his incredible talent, you should watch ANY of his videos in which he plays either "Bulerias", "Almoraima", or some other classical flamenco... Guitar solo, I mean. THAT is actually something to break one's brain apart. 😁
And if you want him playing with another INCREDIBLE guitar playing, check "Mediterranean Sundance", both with Al di Meola or with Al and John McLaughlin. There's a number of those performances live videos. 🙂
Another great guitarist that is emerging recently is a young Italian guy named Matteo Mancuso. His fingerpicking style is unique, and he's been praised by a number of great guitarists, including Al di Meola, Steve Vai, and others. Check any of his live videos, or the official music videos from his most recent album "The Journey". 🙂
I just have a limitless admiration for these guys. 🤩
Loved your reaction to one of my favourite songs. It's always a joy to watch you reacting to something really good. You seem to PERCEIVE it at many levels. 🙂
See you next time!
Paco lives in those young guitar gods. We can hear his massive influence in Marcin, Matteo, Tim and other insane talented musicians. They take their inspiration from absolute bests.
People usually oppose talent and practice. It's a falacy. Talent determines how far practice can take you. It doesn't matter if it's art, science or a sport, the hard work is a constant for both the talented and untalented.
Audience member: “How did you get so good?”
Andy McKee: “Practice.”
(Laughter)
Andy McKee: “No. Really.”
There are some natural talents a person can have but nothing beats dedication and work. And Paco is the living embodiment of this. I would have been annoyed as well 😄.
Theres a buleria he plays with Camaron De Isla that is absolutely incredible. Ive never witnessed any human being in any endevour have such mastery as Paco.
This is not the album version, but a television performance in which Paco de Lucía improvises a good part of the song, with excellent results. Awesome.
Cuando grabo en estudio también improvisó, según él.
I think he never played it the same way twice xD
It hurts Flamenco Fans when you said , Paco used 4 fingers, he is the supreme Virtuoso who plays 2 finger picados , light speed .
Así es, Paco is Dios!!!
Paco de Lucía, el más grande
Guys, don't try this at home... Paco is REALLY THE G.O.A.T.!!!🍻
Paco is one of my old guitarheroes. I remember "Mediterranean sundance" he playd with Al DiMeola and John McLaughlin. Stunning. Paco was one of the best. Great guy. Thank you.
If you have not seen/heard the Friday night in San Francisco concert it is life changing. I listen to that at least once a year.
I got to see that show!
@@Tamalanone of my favorite albums. I love to hear it in summer, take the convertible top down then just cruise along.
@@Tamalani came here to make this same comment. Three insanely good guitarists on the same stage.
@@coachhannah2403 I'm so jealous right now, I want to spew swearwords and insults just to let some steam off. So jealous!!!
Me encanta ver a gente descubrir a Paco de Lucía. Un niño prodigio de la guitarra, su padre, también guitarrista. Fue de los primeros en mezclar flamenco con otros estilos musicales, le impresionó muchísimo el blues y el jazz y le influyó en renovar el flamenco. Tocó con grandes músicos de diferentes generos, pero a nivel mundial el flamenco no es muy conocido y eso no le dió el reconocimiento mundial que se hubiera merecido.
Paco de Lucia was THE VERY BEST EVER. Greetings from Spain! 🇪🇸❤️
I've been playing flamenco guitar for 20 years now. When I watch or hear a great player play a falseta I don't have the dexterity for yet, I can still understand *how* they play it. To this day, I still can't tell how he played the one at 7:31 here, even if we have clear video of his hands playing it. Paco de Lucia is a legend amongst men, it's hard to not become emotional when listening to him playing his music.
My father worked for IBM from the 1950s thru the 1980s & our family was transferred to Germany in the mid-1970s. By that time he had earned multiple weeks of vacation so we took 3 of them & drove to Spain for a lovely holiday. One of the campgrounds we stayed at had a birthday party for the owner & we were introduced to this kind of Spanish guitar music. When we asked if there was an artist they could recommend for us to buy a record of, they told us of Paco de Lucia. We got the Fuente y Caudal album & I have been a fan ever since. Idk if you can stand to listen to another of his songs w/out your brain exploding (you came pretty close on this song, lol), but if you think it’s worth the risk I would encourage you to check out the song of the same name as the album. It’s my favorite flamenco type song from his album.
I discovered Paco in 1977 and I've been practicing his fingerpicking ever since. He is the master on flamenco guitar! Nobody can come close at least that I'm aware of.
Escucha a NIÑO MIGUEL
Escuchar el concierto de Aranjuez, con Paco de Lucía piel de gallina
Me gustaría poder entender mejor el inglés pero no sé hablarlo, aún así me encantó tu reacción 😊. Soy de España.
Every single guitarist who saw Paco play had exactly the same feeling. That guy once shared a stage with Al DiMeola and John McLaughlin, everyone playing his own style, and the respect they felt for each other was very visible, but Paco still outplayed everyone
As a Spaniard I can only express how proud I am that Paco existed and that he gave us his beautiful music. "Entre dos Aguas" is one of his best-known songs, but if you want to feel like your head explodes, listen to the song "Almoraima", for example. Or the '88 concert on Polish TV, which is on UA-cam with decent quality. There is much to see and hear from him, his legacy is eternal. The best guitarist in history without a doubt.
The "c" of Lucía is pronounced like "th" in english. Keith Richards once said "Some say I'm a guitar legend. They have no idea. There are 3 or 4 guitarists that we can consider as a legend and above all of them is Paco de Lucía".
Lucia was the name of his Portuguese mother. Thus it is pronounced with an "s" sound and not "th".
@@TheHesseJames In Spain we pronounce "c" like "th" in english. Paco was spanish.
@@juanmanuel8961 Then how come everybody in Spain pronounces him "Lusia"?
@@TheHesseJames not everybody, only in the south, basically.
@@TheHesseJames We don't. That spelling is more from latin-american spanish, not Spain spanish. We pronounce it as english "th" in "think"
Something I notice with some of these really great guitar players is how clean the transition between notes is. Sometimes with less talented players you get the sounds of the fingers sliding along the strings between notes, but the releases are so clean and he doesn't need to feel along the strigs for where to go, he just has perfect muscle memory to make the move and confidently press back onto the strings.
Was at a concert in 1983 in Rome ( teatro Sistina), alt the women were screaming like crazy , he was like a god , it was insane and the best concert I have ever been too 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Пако де Лусия лучшии. Таких больше нет. Легенда.👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🇰🇿
im a metalhead all time fan of Slayer megadeth symphonyX etc acciddently listened to him and his brother Ramon de algeciras and since i fell inlove with flamenco and everything with andalusian soul he played in Carthage Tunisia around 2014 few years before the humanity lost the best guitarist in history i was sitting like 20m from the stage he was unhuman
Paco was, is and will remain a legend of the art of Flamenco as a guitarist. He was playing with his soul. He didn't even know how to read music. He recorded himself on a tape recorder and memorized the songs by ear.
He is and will be king of kings, his talent and mastery of the flamenco guitar is mythical....he is unique, the years go by and thanks to the dissemination of his work on the Internet, there are more and more reactions and astonishment.... As a Spaniard and an admirer of his talent in flamenco guitar music you never get tired of listening to him, because of how extraordinary and beautiful his guitar sounds you never get bored...As a person he was shy and humble, but he loved music like no one else and he was super perfectionist....Without words few qualifiers can represent his extraordinary skill.Celestial Paco de Lucia...
So very beautiful 😍.....It brings tears to my eyes. I just want to run free when I hear this 💖💓.
I do hear him! Just awesome🎉
The most amazing thing is he always thought he could do it better. He never did it well in his opinion. He was a perfectionist. He was really tired in his last years of playing guitar because he said playing guitar is one of the most exhausting things to do in life. No doubt he was a master and an absolute legend
Especial reconocimiento para los músicos que acompañan a Paco de Lucía...sobre todo para el percusionista peruano a los bongós Jose Luis Ganoza Barrionuevo conocido como Pepe Ébano.
Paco tocaba con su corazón y con su alma, fue el mejor guitarrista del mundo y de todos los tiempos. En España el arte puro está en un nivel muy superior al resto del mundo, hay mucho arte y artistas en cada esquina. Es el país del arte! OLEEEE👏👏👏
Paco de Lucia, influenced the guitarists of Heavy Metal. It was so clean and fast, it really is always considered No. 1 in the world with this incredible clarity in the notes at such speed...
great paco de lucia! Did you know this song was improvised? There was a song missing to close the album, and he played and recordered on the spot.🤯😍
Exacto. Así fue.
Toca a oido
This is the best reaction I have seen of Paco in a loooong time. Thank both of you for this.
El mejor sin discusion .No ha habido ni habra jamas un guitarrista como el ........Unico Irrepetible e inigualable .👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
El es un músico que cuando tocaba era uno con la música. Dentro de su cabeza el era música, no había separación entre el y lo que tocaba con la guitarra. De ahí su magia.
I saw Paco Lucia a couple times live on stage and all these events were extraordinary - this guy was the god of spanish guitar
Paco’s the OG! Yes, he influenced metal guitarists. When you react to Marcin, you’ll see how well metal and flamenco fit together. Great reaction!
You're right, one of my friends studied music, when he told his teachers that he wanted to play metal, absolutely all of his profesors told him to learn to play flamenco. At first he didn't like the idea, then he knew why. It's incredible how flamenco is its own thing but it is very influenced by Arabic music since Spain was in territorial disputes with Morocco and Algeria.
Disputas territoriales con Marruecos y Argelia? Y tan a gusto te habrás quedado…
😂Ahora el yugo se llama disputas territoriales, será por ser correctos políticamente, no se vayan a enfadar los árabes.
El mejor solo de guitarra de heavy metal español,esta en la bulería Viviré con Camarón y por supuesto Paco y Tomatito,en mi opinión claro,y sin molestar a los guitarristas de heavy españoles, que los hay muy buenos
God played through his hands. RIP Maestro
I saw him live in Cali, Colombia in November 1978. Magic…
El embrujo de nuestro Paco, eterno maestro, el mejor de la historia ❤ para los Españoles es muy bonito ver como la música de Paco y su arte, impactan en otras culturas. Gracias.
The spell of our Paco, eternal maestro, the best in history ❤ for the Spanish it is very nice to see how Paco's music and his art impact other cultures. Thank you.
Thank you. *Thank you* so much for introducing me to this artist! I sent the link to my 2 oldest friends (60 years) - one of whom sings and plays in community choirs and orchestras, the other ran a music store in the 1960's and 70's. They both asked "where have you been?" I was angry - "you guys never told me about him! I thought you were my friends"....🤣 Just watched Paco and Al Di Meola playing Mediterranean Sundance. Two meastros. The music flows through their eyes.
Hahahahahaha that’s amazing! You just made me so happy!! ❤️❤️❤️
Paco de Lucia and before him Andres Segovia the true master!
Paco de Lucia, Sabicas, and Carlos Montoya. The gods of flamenco guitar.
OLE TUU!! Arabe Guapo... Im so thrilled and happy you shared this amazing Flamenco Guitarist! Paco was/is the MAN!!!
I feel extremely proud to be part of a Flamenco family. My young adult daughter is an amazing flamenco guitarist who not only got to meet Paco a couple of years before his passing and gave her some beautiful words of wisdom and advise when she was on her journey with her flamenco guitar playing. And now Paco would be so proud of her especially as a female flamenco guitarist. GRACIAS from the bottom of mi Corazon. Paco, te queremos y ole too!!❤❤❤
El mejor guitarrista de todos los tiempos!!!
Saw him in Argentina when I was about 11, first time music made me cry on a live show
Paco de Lucia and Vicente Amigo are the most memorable artists I've seen live. I was so sad when he passed but I am grateful I got to see him play live twice
Paco is from another world, absolutely incredible that a boy who never studied music is the most skilled and admired guitarist. Thank´s for video
Hope you are not a cheap baiter nor a troll , nor a revisionist of history raised on Hellyweirdian tall tales either still fighting past wars....But just check that Payo of a genius guitarist baby pictures if only for illustrative purposes, for after all like St. Paul said : We are only to boast that Jesus, God incarnate , God Almighty and Creator died for our salvation; yours too of course.
Y que viva Espana!, The Eternsl Spain of Paco, Segovia and Rodrigo's and Victoria Aranjuez. Y ole!
@@alexstewart8097 No, I'm not a troll, I admire Paco, but leave aside the history of Spain and especially its religion, because with that "I don't agree"
This song and performance from the best guitarist ever, my countryman Paco de Lucía, is one of the things that makes me just smile and enjoy. I'm really glad you came to know him. Cheers.
That video you played is old and he became EVEN better than that. He is the GOAT and pretty crazy to think many don’t even know he existed.
I think I have watched your reaction for a 102 times ;)
i saw him with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin in den haag , it was soemthing else and i will never foget
Paco de Lucía was de GOAT of guitar players, and its not me who says that but is said for people like Hendricks, Slash, Santana o Keith Richards who consider themselves just rookies in comparison with Paco. Such a stunning technique and speed has charmed people for decades all over the world, playing his signature style. As humble man as great icon, we lost him a few years ago and was a musical tragedy, not only for Spain, but also for the entire musical world. Rest In Peace and Glory, our Lord of the Strings.
Goat es cabra😮
Paco de Lucia was the greatest virtuoso that set foot on earth. Great reaction!
Paco de Lucía el más grande, maestro de maestros.
Paco de Lucia era un GENIO con mayúsculas con una guitarra en sus manos, incluso los que no son profesionales del tema lo saben con sólo escucharle y como bien decís viendo su técnica a la hora de tocar sin pua. Decir que ha sido un video muy divertido viendo tus reacciones y comentarios. Un saludo desde España para ti y Remy.
Best reaction ever to one of the greatest guitar players of all time. I've already watched this video like 15 times...
Oh... I'm so glad you enjoy Paco de Lucía. If you search for it you'll find out that most of the greatest guitar players consider him the best. I do. I can't wait to see another reactions to his music. Specially recommended the San Francisco live, with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin... you both are just gone have an orgasm...
You are dealing with maybe the best guitar player of all times.
ES EL MAS GRANDE .
Llevo toda la vida escuchando a Paco de Lucía, y esta reflexión me ha sorprendido. gracias. Grande Paco!
Over 30 years ago I saw a live show of Vicente Amigo, considered by many as one of the successors of Paco.
The gig was mind blowing and his demeanor playing was very similar to Paco.
I got a chance to meet him afterwards and talk to him for a few minutes.
When I shook his hand, his hand was almost ethereal. Nimble, bony but also strong fingers.
Very nice dude. Humble and friendly with a huge smile on his face.
It was the closest I ever was of seeing Paco, but Vicente was/is a worthy heir.
Vicente es Brutal, una verdadera bestia.
I've also been to a Vicente Amigo's concert about 6 years ago, he was my ex-bf fav guitarist hehe We also went to a Tomatito concert, it was great and so much fun!
He is improvising. That's why he is even better than people think.
Mark Knopfler from the Dire Straits said "I thought I can play the guitar well until I saw Paco de Lucia playing"
There is no other guitarist even close.
Didn’t Keith Richard’s say something similar? Something like- “you call me a great guitarist. I’m not a great guitarist. There are maybe 3 or 4 people in the world you can really say that about. And then there’s Paco de Lucia”?
yes he did, and many others like Slash, Kerry king and many many others said that there is no other guitar player like Paco de Lucia.
@@tomfabozzi5353
I've been a fan of Paco's for decades. He really is a maestro. But you should check out some of the work he's done with Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin.
if there's something all spaniards have in common it is our respect and admirasion for this amazing human being. Paco de Lucía was awesome and his music will always live. Fun fact: I watched n interview in spanish where he told things about his life like... he played for about 16h a day as he was growing up and He doesn't know how to read music, he played by ear.
Love your video!!! I can't say how many times I've seen it since you released it. When Paco does his amazing things on the guitar, the look on your face is the same as on mine. This man is from another dimension. Like Paganini on the violin. Or Danny Carey on the drums. All we can do as mere mortals is admire.
Guitarist extraordinaire Tommy Emmanuel once said Paco was the best, that’s good enough for me ✨
I saw THE trio with Al and John twice. Both Di Meola and McLaughlin were rightly in awe of him. He appeared on Al's second solo album and that led to the trio. McLaughlin wrote a beautiful tribute to him. Check out their two live albums, Friday Night in San Francisco and the sequel Saturday night. He plays this piece with Al di Meola and combines it with Mediterranean Sundance.
The Trio also has a studio album Passion, Grace & Fire
True. They did a second studio album in the mid 90s and a tour which was very good but apparently there were some tensions although the music was fine, even if it didn't reach the dizzying heights of the first album.@@richard345
When you said it's like breathing for Paco, flamenco was speaking a language. It was a language he grew up with. At first he used his talent to put food on the family table then he nurtured his talent to fill his soul ; this was the hardest part for him to master.
Spanish guitar and the best Spanish guitar ever. Paco was the master. He made easy what wasn’t ! Love ❤️ it
"My God I´m happy he got to cultivate his talent..." Bravo. Best comment ever
I have been listening to this legend for almost 30 years. "Entre dos aguas" and "Fuente y caudal" are my favourites songs
Saw him live twice. He was a virtuoso and considered the best flamenco guitarist of his time. He was beast.
Thank you for choosing Paco de Lucía to react in your channel. Here in Spain we know very well tvat He was the Biggest! Regards from the Mediterranean Sea
A proud gem of our country, Spain 🇪🇸
Dear Arab Man, many thanks for this marvellous video. Possibly the best guitarrist ever. Eternal honor to Paco de de Lucía!!!
AMAZING Paco de Lucia THE BEST
4:02 bro went like: "and this is what a Super Saiyan looks like"
Cant even imagine your face when u listen to Yamandu Costa. Amaaaaazing live and young clasic guitar player. You will thanks to him. Cheers. By the way, Paco with McLaughlin and Di Meola will bang your mind.
The level of admiration can only be admired. This is tryly unbelievable. Having the LP (I am old) I'm so happy you enjoyed this insane playing.
No me canso de ver vuestro video reaccionando a nuestro gran guitarrista Paco de Lucía. Como español me siento agradecido por vuestras palabras, más aún cuándo existe esa complicidad entre la música árabe y la española después de tantos siglos de conexión, mamándo la una de la otra...
Un abrazo fuerte...
