Yes he is an amazing guitarist with butt kicking skills and nice compositions.

Is it just me having delusions or does the G string at 12th fret really sound like shi.t at the beginning of this video...

Scary thing is he is not in his top shape here. I have his concert in Japan from 2 or 3 years ago on DVD. You guys would freak out.

It's a Conde so it is with some trepidation that I suggest too much sustain. Sounds all blurry to me.

I wish I could! But I don't want to upset my Japanese friends who gave it to me. You can see a clip of him playing with Jin Oki on YouTube. It is from the same event.

In terms of Javier's playing, I can only compare it to Paco's Teatro Real concert.

Yep damn those low life's for uploading inferior quality video recordings on the internet....how dare they have the audacity to want to share pieces of musical perfection and blatantly insult us all by not investing thousands of £$€ etc...on the correct recording equipment. The least they could have done is contact everyone worldwide who has access to the internet and ask if its OK to upload footage that could have compromised sound/video.
I don't know what the world is coming to?

Javier se bebe la guitarra como agua. Very impressive playing.

Javier's the only guy I hear cover Nino Miguel repertoire(3:00 and on in the Jin video)I love it! He's a madman! Jin is pretty damn bad himself too.

Does anyone know were that intro comes from? Vicente used to play it when he was 15 years old but i never was able to trace the original source.

That's the first thought I had when I listened to the first video

I assume you're talking strictly picado, etc.
Javier has awesome technique, but i certainly dont hear the musical
depth and dynamics of Paco.

The bulerias with Jin Oki was nice, but lacks those magic little
intangibles. Dynamically flat. You could do much better.

What a person knows is not always what a person can execute. Guitarist and guitar, not that impressive.

admittedly my ears have seen much better days, but this guitar has amazing sustain... unless someone is monkeying with the reverb.

Jin oki is a very talented japanese guitarist.
Discovered this guy years ago and loved his bulerias composition and his playing. He is definately jerez influenced.
He also participated in the Concurso Nacional de Arte Flamenco and was one of the best 4 participants.

That duo video with Javier was amazing.

Todd, I'll see if I can do better. I believe I will get to play with Jin this spring in Japan.

RE: New videos Javier Conde!!! (in reply to Arash)

Anyway, a (maybe) interesting nerdy observation i made is that the technique of Javier and Grisha seam to be very similar. Like the type of right hand position, thumb, picado, etc. Any reason for that or is it just coincidence and simply the similarity in size and shape of the hand which basically ends up with the same "result" which then looks totally similar (at least for my eyes)?

Javier's aesthetic is austere and extreme.

Yet I find his conviction compelling and inspiring. Truly inspiring. To see an aesthetic so fully realised is humbling and, humbled, I feel compelled to retrace his steps.

In doing so I hope to learn how to better realise my own musical goals.

If his aesthetic is different to mine then it is only because we are all different. For this example I feel true gratitude.

... and what an intro.......quite awesome !!

There is a majesty of natural talent here which is truly stunning this I think ,makes comparisons irrelevant.

As guitarbuddha said above.....
Quote ' I find his conviction compelling and inspiring. Truly inspiring.'. end quote.

What more could a player hope to realise.....and what more could a listener hope to gain!!

At this level ,a player has awesome days and fekkin mind blowingly awesome days ''compared''!! to us mere mortals.....so i guess, with flamenco guitar, you need to be able to ''walk the walk'' AND ''talk the talk'' to be invited to another country for a kick around with the local 'slinger' in the first place?
''Norbert'' can do this, and ''Barnaby'' can do that means jack shi te.....let's hope so ,otherwise they shouldn't be out there stroking their planks in public anyway. Popularity,invitation , the action of 'doing 'and the fact its a talking point have perhaps proved the point of their worthyness,the last bit which produces a ''tick'' or a ''cross'' from the end 'user'....the listener/viewer and is purely subjective?

Now I'm going back to my beer......perhaps a meandering and nonsense''rant'' but pleasing for me!! Really don't know if it makes any sense at all!!
