Im not quite patrioitc neither a localist guy (I feel for my people but in a nationalist way) and I was born in the same town that Paco was born (Algeciras). He is my flag, and he represents me all over the world. Im a punk metal guy I play guitar but I dont have too much knowledge about Flamenco , well it doesnt matter to me cause everytime I see Paco playing guitar I feel emotional , especially when I see a pure reaction like yours that honours in such noble way what this genius was capable to achieve. Thank you for the nice words and your appreciation.
Im borrn in Spain,paco was the absolutly Boss and Legend guitar in our world,the past are the present,the present are the true so shine bright FUTURE,REALLY... ABSOLUTLY!! 👑❤️♾️
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...
Thank you for your reaction to the video. I've been following your channel for several weeks now and I liked your work so much that I subscribed to the channel. I was lucky enough to meet Paco many many years ago and listen to him play guitar on a beach one evening. I have never forgotten that evening and feel his unexpected death was a great loss to the whole music world. Best regards from Germany.
Greeting! Thank you for subscribing I really appreciate it! It has been a pleasure learning about him and the whole genre, there are so many awesome things that I wished I had known about sooner but better late then never! I can only imagine how incredible that evening must have been! He is truly a piece of magic, I am so glad we have so much of his work to look back on! Even though he is not with us in body he is with us in spirit through his music that will go on to inspire many more generations!
Thanks for another great reaction. Glad you have had a chance to see this performance. There are a number of videos from this same program that have equally as good camera shots of his hands... Enjoy going down the rabbit hole as you said!!
Paco again in the channel! Great! I love this piece.I remember me trying to learn it and getting along quite well with the arpeggios in the beginnig (of course in a very much slower pace) but then came Paco´s first run and then I put my guitar back in the box,hahaha! Guajira is a flamenco genre inspired in cuban music brought to Spain when the Spanish people who migrated to Cuba came back home,so we can hear some caribbean sounds in it.Paco´s compositive talent offers a piece with so many sides in only 5 minutes.
I really love this colour... Paco's brother Pepe sang the guajira really good ua-cam.com/video/u_fZdzw_4v4/v-deo.htmlsi=h7qg9Vq_wiQBen_D It is the day-dreaming melody. Also gabriel moreno and lecorus tena perform it very well
The problem with spreading flamenco guitar is the lack of good flamenco singers around the globe. You cannot be a well rounded flamenco musician without a firm control of flamenco rhythms and language. All those Spanish flamenco artists have thousands of hours jamming with dancers, clappers and singers. Not gonna easily find them in America.
Lovely to hear your sincere comments and awe of Paco. Ive been lucky enough to see him a few times in London-leaving me breathless or tearful but forevere inspired
The face of this man and the way he talks about Paco says it all. Has happened to me as well, fortunately I was a bit younger and even managed to learn quite a bit of flamenco guitar. Maybe one of the best things I’ve ever done.
It has been an honor learning about such a legend! I would love to learn the Flamenco style and have already gotten quite a lot of ideas and inspirations just from the little I have seen! I have put both a Flamenco and Paco playlist together any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
As a teen I discovered Paco with Mclaughlin and Dimeola. Soon after i heard Sabicas and Paco Peña, and I remember thinking “what a shame P. De Lucia doesn’t play in the classical way like Sabicas and Peña….because if he did, he would be THE BEST”. It was some years later I discovered the album this piece Guajiras was on and it was even BETTER than I had envisioned the guy doing (Fantasia Flamenca is basically the Flamenco guitar Bible for me, the perfect acoustic solo album ever made of any genre). Machine double kick drum precision in those arpegios in 1969, and the compositions were DEEP. Punta del Faro is an other magical piece that beats all other flamenco guitarists. Glad to have finally met him a few times. I have 9 tutorials on Paco’s music on my channel if anyone wants to learn this. I even break down this guajiras.
I just got a Carlos Montoya album and I love it! I want to get more Flamenco on vinyl for sure! I love the way it sounds, I hope to run into a Paco album at some point! I have been listening to a lot of the Al Di Meola Elegant Gypsy album, that album is way ahead of it time and such and awesome ride!
I don't know what I like more, listen to Paco, or listen to you talk about him. Thank you very much for your respectful treatment of Paco. I like to listen to Paco, and if at the same time I can see your face of enjoyment, I like it even more. Paco was also an extremely human and warm person. Very close. Here in Spain we all love it, even if some of us only know the song "Entre dos aguas". People only know that piece. Only music lovers, especially guitarists, know more about him. That song was so commercialized that for many it seems that everything has already been said in it. You know more about him than ninety percent of the people in Spain. In Andalusia it is no longer like that, there it is the daily bread. I've always been a fan of Randy Rhoads, Pat Metheny, Napalm Death, Derek Bailey, Stravinsky, etc... But Paco is really something out of the ordinary, jajajaja. You are a very good person. Let me consider you as a friend. Thanks for everything. ☺️🙂
Thank you very much I really appreciate it! I can totally understand why he is so legendary! I wish I would have known of him sooner but im glad I found him, better late than never! I am looking forward to hearing and learning more from and about him!
@@aha3885Desde luego que sí, es verdad. Tienes toda la razón. ¿Pero cuantos españoles hay que dicen que les encanta, y sólo conocen " entre dos aguas"? No se conoce la discografía de él. Por lo menos con la gente que yo he hablado... También es verdad que no son especialmente aficionados al flamenco.
@@sergiogomasuarez3678 Mira, justo ahora estaba viendo un vídeo de Camarón en el bautizo de su hijo, año 1991. Después de la ceremonia dio una conferencia de prensa, así son los genios. 😁 y al hombre le preguntan qué público se le ha entregado más, y dice "Madrid es dónde más me quieren". Yo soy del norte, y un enfermo del flamenco. Y aquí somos muchos los que compartimos esa dolencia. Nadie va a negar la raíz andaluza del flamenco, ni el tronco ni los frutos. Pero el flamenco trasciende como fenómeno idiosincrásico español, de una manera tan orgánica que no tiene sentido abordarla desde posiciones ideológicas (no me refiero a ti). Paco, José, no son fenómenos de masas en el sentido comercial. Pero su legado forma parte indisoluble del hecho cultural de la península ibérica, no olvidemos Portugal, que vio nacer a la Lucía de Paco, y alberga enormes artistas flamencos. Incluso aquellos ibéricos de dos piernas que no conocen en profundidad la obra de Paco, o incluso la desconocen por completo, están influenciados por ella. Sumergidos en un caldo de cultivo que tiene en estos genios uno de los ingredientes principales.
Esta pieza es del palo flamenco denominado Guajira, es un palo rítmico de un compás compuesto de 12 tiempos como la soleá, alegría o bulería. Esta pieza la tocó desde hace muchos años y es una de las obras de Paco más difíciles en cuanto técnica se refiere. Enhorabuena por poner y hablar sobre esto temas. Saludos desde Terrassa, Barcelona, España
Como siempre !es genial! Le recomiendo una alegría que se llama La Barrosa de Paco de Lucía, seguro que le gustará. Gracias por su reconocimiento a Paco de Lucía y a los guitarristas del flamenco en general.
It is a pleasure to learn about such a legendary iconic person and such an incredible genre of music! Thank you for the suggestion I really appreciate it and I will check that out!
thanks for the reaction :D paco was inspired by sabicas sabicas pretty much started flamenco guitar but paco made flamenco popular and your right he inspires almost every guitarist and he inspires me too im 13 years old i used to play classical guitar but when my fathers friend saw my playing he actually liked it and showed me paco which i was blown away by hes playing since then my guitar playing also changed i found a popular flamenco guitar teacher that was taught by paco pena which was taught by sabicas and he really liked my playing and my self esteem is at all time high now lol if you liked this camera angle you see paco had alot of recordings in the same place heres some tarantas recuerdo a patino paco y ramon por bulerias and also my personal fav concert from paco for now is hes sevilla concert react to hes zyryab and cancion de amor/entre dos aguas and react to aranjuez its a classical piece which paco played and played better than all of the classical guitarists todays guitarists only care about speed paco played really strong and with alot of deep emotions you can also check out grisha goryachev hes a guitarist that paco liked alot i see your a rock guitarist so you can react to hes duo/trios with famous jazz/rock players like al di meola john mclaughlin and paco de lucia Mediterranean Sundance thanks again for the reaction it makes my day lol
There are many outstanding flamenco guitarists these days such as Paco Serrano, Vincente Amigo, Pepe Habichuela, and Tomatito (just to name a few). But they are all eclipsed by Paco de Lucia. It's rather difficult to compete with Paco's complete and seeming effortless mastery of the instrument and his harmonic invention. His amazing performances have been also been transcribed and presented anew by a number of serious students of flamenco guitar such as Grisha Goryachev and a few rather amazing Japanese flamenco guitarists. With that said, it's hard to surpass Paco de Lucia...and it is no wonder that so many have tried to copy him. I recommend that you check out Paco's rather astonishing performance of Rodrigo''s famous Concerto de Aranjuez. In its day this was the guitar concerto (there were precious few) that nearly every classical guitarist was obligated to perform. I've heard most of the great classical guitarists perform this wonderful concerto, but in my view - and I admit to being somewhat biased - Paco's performance tops them all. And it's rather doubly amazing since Paco was not a classical guitarist...and it took him some effort to work through learning this piece. You can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/RX1JhYkLxrs/v-deo.html Finally, there are some tremendous classical guitarists working today who are as mind blowing as Paco, though the music generally does not require the sort of finger gymnastics that are part of flamenco. Rather, they are more subtle, though clearly equally challenging. I recommend you listen to David Russell, who in my opinion - for what it's worth - is the most amazing classical guitarist working today. For example, check out his live performances of the Bach Lute Suites: ua-cam.com/video/NAVkBARgigo/v-deo.html
Te aprecio y comparto contigo un enlace de la cantaora Diana Navarro luciéndose con una guajira (el mismo tipo de flamenco que escuchaste en este video del Maestro). Te sorprenderá. La Guajira es un tipo de flamenco que se escuchaba en la América Española y los ciudadanos de las provincias españolas de allí (No eran colonias) cuando viajaban a España, traían ésas influencias musicales. Por eso le llaman Cantes de ida y vuelta. Saludos y Respetos
We have done one from Diana I believe but I a looking forward to hearing more from her she is incredible! Thank you for the link I really appreciate it!
Has been fun watching your Paco de Lucia's videos. You and your viewers a sensible people and is cool to gather. A technical suggestion from Spain to dig a litle bit and get more from this art is the musical metrics of Flamenco "el compas". Rock music normally stays in 4/4. Pacos and flamencos uses different complex metrical patterns for different song styles "palos" as ex. If you hear Almoraina "bulerias, you can try to follow the 12 beats pattern that allways fits on frasing. 1,2,3,1,2,1,2,1,2. Per bar. Then you ll understand and enjoy better. Ther is nothing out from compas; best for everybody
Today many guitarists are capable of doing what Paco did at the time he played and even though technically they are better. Paco was a technical monster too because his father put a guitar in his hands at 8 years old and made him practice the instrument 8 hours a day and he lived his whole life for this instrument, but the difference is that Paco played the guitar with his soul in the service of Andalusian culture and it is called Flamenco. Nowadays this heritage is gradually being lost, it still persists because certain musicians and singers still keep this musical tradition alive thanks to festivals and Andalusian Ferias or television broadcasts which still devote time to perpetuate this culture. Paco was, is and will remain a legend.
no one is better than paco in any way no one can play picado that strong and fast todays guitarists only care about the speed paco played strong emotional and still faster than them while doing theese paco was a composer which i compare to great classical composers hes pieces are masterpieces remember this there will always come a better player but for now todays guitarists should undrestand its not all about speed
i'm from morocco near spain and paco i my favorite flamenco guitariste of all time, i love your reactions, sincere not faking, and i think you have to listen to django reinhardt jazz manouche guitariste next level
Thank you very much I really appreciate it! I will be checking him out for sure, I cant wait to dig into the jazz end of things! I am really looking forward to it!
Amazing video! U must listen this 3 pieces man u gonna cry so hard Paco de de Lucía - Tarantas Paco de Lucía - Recuerdo a Patiño Paco de Lucía - reflejo de luna (granaina) Hope u enjoy!🤙
Thank you very much and thank you for the suggestions I really appreciate it and I will be adding them to the playlist we have of both him and Flamenco!
If you wish to learn more about some spanish guitar techniques you should view videos from Paola Hermosin. She explains everything she does on the guitar with subtitles, and includes the sheet music in her website. She also has videos with pro tips like the Flamenco tremolo picking (check them out). She does not only play Flamenco style, but also classical and other genres.
He visto todas sus reacciones al gran maestro Paco de Lucía y seguiré viendo su canal. Me gustaría que reaccionara a un grupo español llamado Robe, concretamente "Nana cruel" en directo en el anfiteatro romano de Mérida. Seguramente podrá apreciar a estos excelentes musicos. Las letras de las canciones, cualquiera de ellas, son muy importantes, están escritas por el solista Robe. Espero con impaciencia su reacción. Un saludo.
Thank you for joining in my journey, it is a pleasure to learn about such a legendary icon! Thank you for the suggestion I look forward to checking them out!
I have a good one for you, it is not flamenco but spaniard "rock-pop" music: monica naranjo sobreviviré, look for the live version: "monica naranjo sobreviviré pavarotti and friends" Greetings from the canary islands
Gracias. Thank you, I recommend the reaction to Maestro Paco from the Aranjuez concert if you have not already enjoyed it. Sorry for the translation, it's from Google, I don't know English.
Comrade, it says a lot about you by dedicating so many videos reacting to the MASTER OF MASTERS within the world of guitar like Paco. There are other greats in the history of Spain such as Andrés Segovia and Narciso Yepes. If you see his guitar performances they will not leave you indifferent, I guarantee it. Even so, and as Paco de Lucía himself said, "There are great guitarists with an empty refrigerator" Regards, and thank you very much!!! 😁😁😁🖐 Compañero, muchísimo dice de usted al dedicarle tantos vídeos reaccionando al MAESTRO DE MAESTROS dentro del mundo de la guitarra como fue Paco. Hay otros grandes en la historia de España como Andrés Segovia y Narciso Yepes. Si viese sus interpretaciones con la guitarra, no le dejarán indiferente, se lo garantizo. Aún así y como dijo el propio Paco de Lucía, "Hay grandes guitarristas con la nevera vacía" ¡¡¡Un saludo y muchas gracias!!! 😁😁😁🖐
I think is important to appoint the bast influence the spanish barroque music has had in the modern pieces of spanish classic guitar, for be more accurate at the genre called zarzuela. That can be seen at Gaspar sanz (1640-1710) ua-cam.com/video/xyNB-sCRACA/v-deo.htmlsi=F-31FHhHqPb8Atmg
'Entr du saguas' 'los panaderos' are easy to play, you can try them. Rumba and tangos are not hard simply because the beat is 4/4, but the 5/12 beat ones like soleares, alegrias, bulerias, fandangos, suigria are hard because it is hard to keep beat unless after thorough training. Yet, I played alegrias and bulerias but couldnt improvise..i just sticked to the musicsheet. Paco as he puts in his own words is an improvisation junkie... he picked it up as he plays with the other ones Mcklavlin and Demiola
Me parece increíble que haya mas videos de Paco de Lucía,de no Españoles,que de los propios Españoles. Sin lugar a duda esta gente hace mas por la difusión de la cultura española,que el propio ministerio de cultura. Olé por ti y tu canal 😎👍
Thank you for all the wonderful things that you say about my guitar hero I’ve been faithfully studying flamenco for the past almost 5 years . I have a phenomenal teacher from Spain that I do classes through Skype weekly. He was friends with Paco for many years his name is Ruben Diaz -his UA-cam channel where he specializes on Paco technique exclusively. Is Ruben Diaz Flamenco Guitar. - left me know if I can be of any help to you in the Flamenco realm, ( I do read a shit ton of flamenco books ). Keep up the amazing work . Warmest regard Ruben Serrano
Thank you for joining in my journey, it is a pleasure to learn about such a legendary icon! That sounds very awesome I hope you are enjoying your journey learning the art of Flamenco! Ay suggestions for artists, topic or discussions is more then welcome!

paco was inspired by sabicas
sabicas pretty much started flamenco guitar
but paco made flamenco popular
and your right he inspires almost every guitarist
and he inspires me too
im 13 years old i used to play classical guitar but when my fathers friend saw my playing he actually liked it and showed me paco which i was blown away by hes playing
since then my guitar playing also changed
i found a popular flamenco guitar teacher that was taught by paco pena which was taught by sabicas
and he really liked my playing and my self esteem is at all time high now lol
if you liked this camera angle
you see paco had alot of recordings in the same place heres some
tarantas
recuerdo a patino
paco y ramon por bulerias
and also my personal fav concert from paco for now is hes sevilla concert
react to hes zyryab and cancion de amor/entre dos aguas
and react to aranjuez its a classical piece which paco played and played better than all of the classical guitarists
todays guitarists only care about speed
paco played really strong and with alot of deep emotions
you can also check out grisha goryachev hes a guitarist that paco liked alot
i see your a rock guitarist
so you can react to hes duo/trios with famous jazz/rock players like
al di meola john mclaughlin and paco de lucia Mediterranean Sundance
thanks again for the reaction it makes my day lol

no one can play picado that strong and fast
todays guitarists only care about the speed
paco played strong emotional and still faster than them while doing theese
paco was a composer
which i compare to great classical composers
hes pieces are masterpieces
remember this
there will always come a better player but for now todays guitarists should undrestand its not all about speed
Hay un video de Paco tocando "impetu" que es algo sobrenatural. Saludos 👍
Greetings, thank you for the suggestion I will check that out!
i'm from morocco near spain and paco i my favorite flamenco guitariste of all time, i love your reactions, sincere not faking, and i think you have to listen to django reinhardt jazz manouche guitariste next level
Thank you very much I really appreciate it! I will be checking him out for sure, I cant wait to dig into the jazz end of things! I am really looking forward to it!
Now you're ready to listen to Triana. Just to blow your mind try "Del Crepusculo lento nacera el Rocio" (From slow dusk, dawn will rise)
Amazing video!
U must listen this 3 pieces man u gonna cry so hard
Paco de de Lucía - Tarantas
Paco de Lucía - Recuerdo a Patiño
Paco de Lucía - reflejo de luna (granaina)
Hope u enjoy!🤙
Thank you very much and thank you for the suggestions I really appreciate it and I will be adding them to the playlist we have of both him and Flamenco!
Sobre los artistas del flamenco, recomiendo que vean y oigan al duo que formaron hace más de 40 años Paco y Camarón de la Isla...
Alucinante
I have one from those two on my Paco playlist but if there is more from them I would love to see / hear it.
Holly dam it just hit me it’s like Mozarts spirit wondered and landed on him and a new legacy started again
I often wonder if something like that happens I have also noticed you can pass down a musical gene in your family
thank you
You're welcome, it is a pleasure to watch such a legend!!!
If you wish to learn more about some spanish guitar techniques you should view videos from Paola Hermosin. She explains everything she does on the guitar with subtitles, and includes the sheet music in her website. She also has videos with pro tips like the Flamenco tremolo picking (check them out). She does not only play Flamenco style, but also classical and other genres.
Inolvidable eterno
Must wach concierto de Aranjuez playing Paco
Una preciosidad, sí señor.
This piece for me is Eruption on Classical guitar. Take a look at Paco Pena, Augustine Berrios Mangore, Pepe Romero
Yeah its pretty incredible thats for sure!!! Thank you for the suggestions I really appreciate it and I will check the out!
I love you because you love Paco de Lucia
He visto todas sus reacciones al gran maestro Paco de Lucía y seguiré viendo su canal. Me gustaría que reaccionara a un grupo español llamado Robe, concretamente "Nana cruel" en directo en el anfiteatro romano de Mérida. Seguramente podrá apreciar a estos excelentes musicos. Las letras de las canciones, cualquiera de ellas, son muy importantes, están escritas por el solista Robe. Espero con impaciencia su reacción. Un saludo.
Thank you for joining in my journey, it is a pleasure to learn about such a legendary icon! Thank you for the suggestion I look forward to checking them out!
I have a good one for you, it is not flamenco but spaniard "rock-pop" music: monica naranjo sobreviviré, look for the live version: "monica naranjo sobreviviré pavarotti and friends"
Greetings from the canary islands
Thank you very much for the suggestion I really appreciate it! I will be checking that out for sure!
Otra banda que es muy buena es TRIANA, mezcla de rock con flamenco 100% recomendable
Actually have a few videos of them coming soon!
Gracias.
Thank you, I recommend the reaction to Maestro Paco from the Aranjuez concert if you have not already enjoyed it. Sorry for the translation, it's from Google, I don't know English.
Thank you for the suggestion I really appreciate it and I will check it out!
Comrade, it says a lot about you by dedicating so many videos reacting to the MASTER OF MASTERS within the world of guitar like Paco. There are other greats in the history of Spain such as Andrés Segovia and Narciso Yepes. If you see his guitar performances they will not leave you indifferent, I guarantee it. Even so, and as Paco de Lucía himself said, "There are great guitarists with an empty refrigerator"
Regards, and thank you very much!!! 😁😁😁🖐
Compañero, muchísimo dice de usted al dedicarle tantos vídeos reaccionando al MAESTRO DE MAESTROS dentro del mundo de la guitarra como fue Paco. Hay otros grandes en la historia de España como Andrés Segovia y Narciso Yepes. Si viese sus interpretaciones con la guitarra, no le dejarán indiferente, se lo garantizo. Aún así y como dijo el propio Paco de Lucía, "Hay grandes guitarristas con la nevera vacía"
¡¡¡Un saludo y muchas gracias!!! 😁😁😁🖐
Greetings! It is a pleasure to learn about such an iconic legendary musician!
Spain music??? Extremoduro...La canción mas triste by robe iniesta
Cada vez pronuncias mejor Lucia "👍👍👍👍👍
España ☝😀🥂
Listen as well to Silvio Rodríguez-Óleo de una mujer con sombrero, not as great as Paco but you gotta see it
Most guitarrits play the guitar. Paco made it love.
I think is important to appoint the bast influence the spanish barroque music has had in the modern pieces of spanish classic guitar, for be more accurate at the genre called zarzuela. That can be seen at Gaspar sanz (1640-1710) ua-cam.com/video/xyNB-sCRACA/v-deo.htmlsi=F-31FHhHqPb8Atmg
Hablando de barroco, hace poco descubrí la música barroca virreinal, flipo con que nadie la conozca prácticamente
Thanks for sharing my friend!
It has been a pleasure learning about and sharing such a legendary icon and learning about such an incredible genre of music!
The "í" instead of "i" indicates that's the vowel of the accent, not every word has á, é, í, ó, ú, but that indicates an accent
'Entr du saguas' 'los panaderos' are easy to play, you can try them. Rumba and tangos are not hard simply because the beat is 4/4, but the 5/12 beat ones like soleares, alegrias, bulerias, fandangos, suigria are hard because it is hard to keep beat unless after thorough training. Yet, I played alegrias and bulerias but couldnt improvise..i just sticked to the musicsheet.
Paco as he puts in his own words is an improvisation junkie... he picked it up as he plays with the other ones Mcklavlin and Demiola
Paco de Lucia said that the best guitarist he ever heard was Sabitas. You should watch it on UA-cam.
Best wishes.
Thank you very much for the suggestion I really appreciate it, I'll check it out!
I would love to see your reaction to live Andalusian gypsies by Paco de Lucia son bulerías. you feel like throwing away the guitar
I think I may have that in the playlist if I'm not mistaken but if not I will have to check it out! Feel free to post a link you would suggest!
Please react to La tarde es Caramelo by Vicente Amigo. The live version.
Me parece increíble que haya mas videos de Paco de Lucía,de no Españoles,que de los propios Españoles.
Sin lugar a duda esta gente hace mas por la difusión de la cultura española,que el propio ministerio de cultura.
Olé por ti y tu canal 😎👍
Thank you for all the wonderful things that you say about my guitar hero I’ve been faithfully studying flamenco for the past almost 5 years . I have a phenomenal teacher from Spain that I do classes through Skype weekly. He was friends with Paco for many years his name is Ruben Diaz -his UA-cam channel where he specializes on Paco technique exclusively. Is Ruben Diaz Flamenco Guitar. - left me know if I can be of any help to you in the Flamenco realm, ( I do read a shit ton of flamenco books ). Keep up the amazing work . Warmest regard Ruben Serrano
Thank you for joining in my journey, it is a pleasure to learn about such a legendary icon! That sounds very awesome I hope you are enjoying your journey learning the art of Flamenco! Ay suggestions for artists, topic or discussions is more then welcome!
