Tuning down a 4th and capo up high? "UNcredible" I agree.

I dont get Carlos Montoya, I've heard albums of him accompanying and he's playing nice, traditional and on point, then all this solo stuff is like jittery staccato jack hammer mess...............

Funny alright, but I (still) love his sound - First flamenco I can remember hearing. Got me hooked... Late 50s. Then I heard Sabicas...And sh*t, I'm still tryin' to play that stuff. I'll never get there.
