Although the interview is fairly long, I watched it all the way through. It was always interesting.

A great interview. Gotta love what he said about the dissonance in flamenco music.

"I love the fact that flamenco has a sort of a native dissonance. There's a license to make it even more dissonant if you want and there's a license to be as sugary sweet as you want."

Thanks very much everyone. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Samuel did a great interview and he has a lot of other musicians lined up for the series.
Sorry I'm a bit late to this. I haven't been online much. Got a lot of stuff going on at the moment.

The guy seems enthusiastic. An interview with Grisha and Mr. Marlow would be interesting.

RE: John Walsh interview (in reply to devilhand)

Don’t bother with me. I would echo the same sentiments exactly as John did. Only thing different is taste in rock guitar and modern flamenco guys. I switched to flamenco (jazz world music stuff first) BECAUSE of Nirvana/grunge etc., that whole movement I couldn’t tolerate. After the rock guitar started getting a little sophisticated, along comes this train out of Seattle of impolite obnoxious guitar strumming in the wrong key. I got into jazz via the jazz fusion thing, that I felt related to the metal guitar genre quite closely. PDL was the window into flamenco proper for me. My mentor was eventually (also from Cadiz) Nuñez, (Jerezano). Got to hang out a bit with Jose Manuel Leon there in Sanlucar a few times as well. He also came to DC twice (with Nuñez, and later with Rafael de Utrera).

Enjoyed hearing you talk John!

Funny, I think your transition into flamenco was exactly mine as well, and many other folks. Rock or metal -> Bach -> Flamenco -> First Paco album.

Nirvana and grunge - I had a love hate relationship with some of this stuff. I liked the Nirvana MTV unplugged, but could never bite into the standard albums. They over stimulated my sympathetic nervous system! Looking back to the 90's, I think it was also what drove me to explore something different because of where rock was going.

Talking about dissonant b9, Mr. Beato should listen to flamenco.

Honestly, I'm not gonna watch your video devil hand but this is a good necropost. You bumped this John Walsh video which I'd missed first time round. So I'll enjoy watching that later.

Beato fans are all back patting with him all the time. Nobody has a discussion about the actual chord function? First of all B-C is NOT a flat 9th, in context, it is a MINOR SECOND. If the chord was constructed from B ROOT, then yes, but the song has a droning bass on D. The chord has to be looked at from D ROOT. So it is interval 6-7 of a D minor chord that is constructed. However the third and 5th are missing, even if implied by the rest of the song.

D-B-C-D-G low to high (not sure if E is used open). The double Ds ground the ear on D. It is like Dm11 with the B stuck in the middle (add 6th). Or Dm13 sus4 (no 5th as is typical).
