Yeah, its another Paco video LOL I think he was sounding extra special on this one. In his prime, and in the zone.

Ooooh that tone! The BEST!

athrane77 -> RE: Oh no, not another Paco video (Aug. 16 2013 11:30:49)
Isn't that intro a qoute of a famous classical piece? correct me if I'm wrong ;) beautiful!!!

I've been lurking here for a while, but I just had to make an account to leave a reply (something compelled me ;) ). Having listened to Paco de Lucia a lot, I feel I sometimes take for granted how good he really is, and them I'm confronted with a video like this; a flawless, beautifully executed, unaccompanied live performance of a piece that shows wonderful musical imagination and sensitivity... it's just simply, in one word, incredible.

great vid, thanks for posting, I meant to keep an eye on that TVPacoDeLucia YouTube page to see what else appears on there.

Can't believe how perfect his guitar and his playing sound in this vid this could be a good example for the "how hard is too hard?" thread , paco balances wisely between playing aggressive and soft, although i think in this one he's more aggressive than usual but sounds really special as todd mentioned thank you for sharing.

xirdneH_imiJ -> RE: Oh no, not another Paco video (Aug. 16 2013 14:08:29)
he's been playing the same thing in his recent concerts, just as beautiful, but much less powerful... this is as good as it gets...

I love how at around 5:50 he fixes an out of tune string in about a millisecond and never misses anything. Jeff

J I have noticed on Paco's video of the Aranjuez he frequently presses down on the bass strings on the tuner side of the nut. I think that is what he is doing here. Never seen anybody else do that. Perhaps it's something to do with his particular guitar.

I rarely listen to music at work, but today I'm listening to some older Paco stuff-cepa , los pinares, Gloria al nino Ricardo, etc, and I'm going crazy in my office, bouncing up and down, grooving, anticipating every amazing passage. Hard to get any work done........ I think it's on the back of one of his album covers, there is a review in which the guy writes something like, If for once we can use the word genius, this is it. Have to agree.

Ole! Thank you for posting. quote: he frequently presses down on the bass strings on the tuner side of the nut. I think that is what he is doing here. Never seen anybody else do that. Perhaps it's something to do with his particular guitar. This is a common practice. To fine tune if flat push down on the tuner side of the nut, for a sharp string pull the string a little between nut and saddle. Works on trebles and basses. Useful especially on a peghead or when using a cejilla.

Some try to modify the tuning with furtive movements to the tuners and back while playing. Others will change the tuning and then stall for time by talking to the audience. I thought perhaps the Rasgeo technique might tend to knock the instrument out of tune. as was discussed in another thread a result of hard playing. But I have never seen a classical player do it and I've seen some of the best. Maybe Paco just has a keener ear for pitch.[:)]

Amazing, thanks for posting! What is Paco doing at 4:06?

aeolus -> RE: Oh no, not another Paco video (Aug. 16 2013 21:20:33)
FreddyOle, that's what we have been discussing for the last few hours.[8D]

Eating an ice cream ....I think he had a cadbury flake in it ...but my god he nailed the clean up lick...passion.....flawless!!!! Best pink

At first fret he has to do it other side of the nut. About paco, with just two notes of feeling I could destroy his thousands. ONly flash and technique. buh![:D]

I would have liked it if he had continued in that mood. But at 4:06 he stops completely to fiddle with the headstock. Talk about Segovia slowing for speed bumps!
