Let me guess: he studied under Paco Peña and Juan Martin

Just like the rest of us non Spaniards.
But he needs to get with the times somewhat.

Good compas though and nothing specifically wrong with his playing at all.
Except doing a silencio in a solo guitar Alegrias is so "learned-out-of-the-book"

my teacher Bob and my good friend learned from many different guitarists, one of his first teachers was Juan del Gastor in Spain. he is also friends with Juan Martin, he learned stuff from him too.
I consider myself being lucky to have him as a teacher. i have to tell you that he loves sabicas and paco pena, so you would see falsetas from them.

RE: Bob Sutherby (in reply to rombsix)

question for other more knowledgeable guys..
is it normal to include an escobilla section (2:38) in a solo guitar piece? I thought it's more for footwork when playing for dance?

cheers

I think, like the silencio, it's something you'll see more commonly in more "traditional" solo guitar, whereas lately it's less common. When I first learned alegrías from my teacher (who taught a lot of falsetas in that old school vein) I learned it with a silencio based on Sabicas followed by a very traditional escobilla. But I don't hear them very often in solo playing these days. Which I think is a shame, at least as far as the silencios go, as there are some damn beautiful silencios out there and they can go well in solo pieces. Tino van der Smaan taught us one of his on the last day of Gerardo's curso last summer which is stunning, and several years beyond my league
