Hey Ron, 25 years ago Tomatito was playing the same way, so don't worry about the future too much. His E string is down to B it sounds like to me, giving depth. An idea Gerardo had years ago too. Acually back in 1980, Mclaughlin used to tune his low E down to A or B and Paco got the idea to use it in flamenco, and of course everyone follows Paco. This guy plays really good, but nothing terribly "modern" to make you worry. But the irony is he works w/ dancers so much I am almost certain he uses the "12 count" business, LOL! Reading through this thread it sounds like some folks think Viejin is "David Hill". He is not. He is from madrid and works w/ top notch dance groups. He is related to Ramon Jimenez I think, another hot player from Madrid. He is interviewed on Paco's DVD and made a cameo in Paco's group at one point I believe. Tom, I personally feel the emotional part of music is a personal thing and not the "truth". It can be different for both the performer and the listener. I feel this guys music and as it is w/ a lot of bulerias and fast tempo tunes, the feeling and expression is rhythmic. It is too bad you don't, but still it is different for each of us. Happy New year, Drink a Lot please! Ricardo

It would take some cheek to say it was me, I'm nearly as as good as that, but have a job to do so cant spend 24/7 with my guitar like those guys can . Thats what it all boils down to, no extraordanary talent is needed, only a good ear to pick up ideas, and spending all day messing around with your guitar, if you are lucky enough to be able to do it,and someone else pays the rent, or you live in Spain and can earn a living accompanieng dance classes, everyone could be as good as El Veijan Dave Thats a good one! Hey everybody, we can all be Paco, we just have to practice 10 hours a day!! No talent needed! Thats hilarious Almost thought you were serious TK
