Nice to see some useful chords in this harmony. Too bad, he messed up the camera angle a little. His playing always reminds me on Nino Miguel. Very accurate and logical rhythm with some nice picados here and there. I like that he cut of the dreadlocks and looks serious now.
Well, I agree with you, Ron. I suppose one reason for that is that a group of musicians is more exciting. Or could it be because Javier Conde's guitar has that awful phaser sound?
This video reminds me very much of La Paquera and Parilla.

Javier is a virtuoso guitarist. Very few guitarists of that level. Millions of critics like yourself, who cant play their way out of a wet paper bag. Nobody cares what you think.

I'm sure this is the same guy that I saw at the Teatro de Santa Maria in Madrid about 5 years ago (I may be wrong?) - it was during the same festival where I first saw Jesus de Rosario (and his eleven year old son) and Paco del Pozo. I thought both guitarists were on a level that would see them become household names - well - at least in a flamenco sense. May not feel accessible to old school traditionalists but these guys were fantastic performers.

This is called a "Forum." It is my understanding that this forum is for the free exchange and expression of opinion on matters pertaining to flamenco. You are perfectly free to disagree with my opinion, and to express your own, but I see no call or need for gratuitous nasty, and I might add – uninformed – comments.
Thats very down to earth, traditional flamenco, i dont see much difference to that Morao vid in terms of guitar style. Its just a different setting: group vs solo. I agree, it sounds alot like Nino Miguel, with the picado bursts, even the chord choices. You cant hear it in that video, but he has a killer sound in his right hand...

Yeah, im aware of that. Of course, you're free to say whatever you want.
However, i can speak my mind as well. And my mind is saying, anybody who can watch that bulerias, and say what you said, hasnt a brain or a soul in their body. Looks like most here agree with me.
Dont address your opinions to me. I didnt ask for them, and i dont care.
It is actually cool to disagree with people without offending them. Give it a try sometime. It's just a shame to see interesting threads become so personal.
But keep in mind in not just the people your talking to that can find comments unnecessarily offensive. It's a public forum that the whole world can see. And what people read from your input help them form an opinion on you as a person. If you don't care then you should do.

LOL. Come on Todd. It's all a bit school playground.

Saying to someone "what a waiste of talent", is probably the most offensive thing you could say to a musician.
And Javier also probably sometimes read this Forum.
Of course everyone is free to say that he doesn't like a specific style.
