ORIGINAL: Maissam actually I'm curious...specifically what in other guitarists would you attribute to Paco? I would be interested if someone could pick out a particular section in some other guitarist's work, like Vicente or Moraito or Chicuelo or whoever, and then show which part of what Paco recording do you think it was influenced by. I've heard a lot that Paco has influenced an entire generation of guitarists, but I never thought too deeply about what specifically these influences have been. It would be helpful to see some examples. I sometimes wonder if we give Paco too much credit for introducing new things to flamenco guitar. He seems to be by far the most prolific guitarist as far as number of albums and how widely available they are. Perhaps around the times that Paco was making some particular recording, a lot of guitarists were doing similar things and Paco was just one of them, and it just happens to be the case that Paco is one of the few people who actually got around to recording and widely distributing those ideas. Any thoughts on this? Well that is getting right at the heart of it. YOU give the example of something you like of vicente, chicuelo, moraito etc, that you really like, and i will try to show you exactly where they might have taken it from....In many cases you will be surprised that it is note for note but you never noticed... Keep in mind guys Paco gets heavily influenced even now by the players around him, young players, unlike his peers, predecssors, and followers who seem to remain pretty stactic interms of style. Again, it is not to hard to show specific examples. How about this, certain passages in Soniquete are influencing Vicente's mandaito and Gerardo's jucal....but then Gerardo's piedras negras and vicente's Ojos de la Alhambra both turned around and influenced paco's "Antonia".....
