I have been reading some the comments on attack, here, and in the uploads, and i think we're all mixing terms, and its very confusing. I think there is the most confusion regarding "Volume", vs " Attack". I believe when Rons says, "A fast attack" i think he really means, a "hard" and/or "aggresive sounding" attack. The thing is, you dont have to claw and pound the guitar to get a punchy aggresive attack. I talked to Brune about Sabicas, and he's fairly certain he was using very light string gauges, wich have alot of snap, without needing to be muscled. On top of that, you have to take some of the Sabicas videos with a grain of salt, as much of the video you'll see on the net is "sync'd sound". I believe Sabicas was very concious of the way he looked when he played, and he most certainly took full advantage of the sync'd tapings by being very light with the hands. The Sabicas DVD i have, is all sync'd sound, with only one actuall live recording. Its the one that has the Zapateado en Re vid that you've seen in the uploads. That Zapateado and the Malaguena vids you may have seen, are sync'd performances. I really do think thats alot of the reason for the eerily light finger movement vs. the aggresive sound.
