They are probably too jealous of his scales, but it's his fault: he doesn't know how to hide his speed very well...

He has already had his concert career: he started off giving solo performances when he was 14. After a while he turned to accompaniment. The best group I ever saw was Daniel on guitar for Pansequito and Aurora, with Bobote and El Electrico on palmas. He played in a quite subdued traditional style for Pansequito and quite the opposite for Aurora. Everyone in this group had amazing compas. Sean

thanks for the info guys. I love his playing and his alobum Pozo y Caudal is great. I think he has the fastest picado and intensity but lacks the power and sound that Paco gets. Also, If you notice Daniel has a strage position for his right hand when he plays scales. His right hand thumb is next to the treble strings he is playing.

Hi, Yes it could be that Im wrong. But Gerardo plays very silent. He takes the profit of a good technical equipment. That doesnt mean that hes bad. No hes one of the most advanced players maybe the player with the best technic, but I think that its only possible to do all these technics so fast and brilliant when you play more silent. I have a video of a concert from 05 where paco plays at a jazzfestival in germany. The camera shows his right hand very colse fom the right side. You can perfectly see how he does the picado and all other technics. He plays so creamy that he nearly dont touch the strings. Not hammering like in his past. Maybe in past it was fasion to play like a disel-machine, today they play more silent that they can shape each note. -->(IMO)<-- hmm..it depends on everyons flavour... For me Nino de Pura has the best sounding picado on his actual disk pozo y caudal. Its smooth, clear, not to agressive, its very nice. It fits perfect in his compositions. I mean ok.. he uses it very much, but he uses it in a musically way. Not just bursting a hard passage in a composition as Paco and so many others often did it. Dont understand me wrong. Paco is really great, but I like other players more.

Grisha, I respectfully disagree w/ you about nino's picado. Please listen to Pozo Y caudal by Nino de pura.

16th note 2 octaves at 240!? Okay, I give up! As far as Nino de Pura's picado, I studied with Tino van der Smaan in Sevilla for a short while, and Nino de Pura is Tino's teacher. Tino persuaded me to try Nino de Pura's technique, and you can imagine he knew it pretty well. Basically the main thing is that the thumb is not braced on the strings, but hangs loosely but in contact with them. The term he used is "to caress" the strings. Another student at this school also studied with Nino de Pura, and he claimed his technique was "perfect"--whatever that means... he also said that you use your shoulder muscles a lot to move up and down, and that Nino de Pura's shoulder was very strong. Apparently he is a bit of a fitness fanatic and is always running and working out. "Fartlet", one of his songs, is a workout technique...well you Europeans are more familiar with that I'm sure.
