jg7238 -> A lesson with Barbosa Lima back in 1993. (May 4 2014 4:29:57)

I found this video on one of my old vhs tapes and decided to transfer it to dvd. Just wanted to share part of this lesson . This was on 04/10/93.

Fantastic video! Thanks so much for sharing.

Lovely :-)



Ruphus -> RE: A lesson with Barbosa Lima back in 1993. (May 4 2014 14:29:16)

I really like how you handeled your face during performance and lecture.
Perfectly humble and attentive.
Very nice!
( When I play I often look like on a funeral or something, at least however unattentive.)

Nice man. My dad played with him a lot. "If the guitar is in tune, go right into the fugue".[:D]

I am starting to come to terms with fact that for me my tastes have gravitated such that the music of Paco and Bach is the best of all time. [:)]

Hey thank you Grisha. I wasn't sure what kind of reaction I would get posting this on a flamenco forum but I appreciate it. Thanks Erik. Thank you Ruphus. Ricardo thanks for watching. I tend to agree with you.

I second this, they both have such complexities in their work that I may have listened to a piece 1000 times and I feel I am still discovering. Besides the music, they stir something emotional within me. However I am only in my 20s and I keep thinking there is nothing left to discover musically that will satisfy me in the way that they have.

Bach and Paco. Of course they are equals.

I like that it's in the kitchen.

Even Carlos himself can't get you to tune your guitar.

Now i dont feel so bad. :)

Somehow the kitchen is a great place not only in general but also for taking out your guitar and play a tune. There are those really nice old takes with Paco and brother in the kitchen and personally I had some inspired sessions in kitchens too.

Acoustically kitchens could be also more appealing as there are only little of absorbing surfaces. And you could say that the stringed instrument was probably born in the prehistorical kitchen ( as left over tendon on bones from trash that used to gather in heaps around the fireplace until even small radial gangways were trenched out ).

Rather unclear anyway how architects up from the fifties had come to draw kitchens as small sorts of storerooms, and how they had to later rediscover that this working room is a centered meeting place for the people and has always been.

Now we are back to kitchens built as larger rooms, and here in my house for instance kitchen and living room share a relatively big space.

Kitchens are no more intimate places that would be kept out of sight.

Look, I am not saying Paco went to church more often, sheeesh.

He tells me to hold the G note on the first string @ 1:12 then I go back to my old fingering. I really don't know what Grisha found that is "fantastic" about it. [:D] Maybe he meant odd?

I officially categorize your past, present, and future posts as "spewing of ****" and will block/hide them.


It seems he found a back door... yesterday when i watched a flamenco post on youtube it was preceded by a 2 minute video advertisement promoting the classical guitar (offered by "thisisclassicalguitar":-).

Ok, Todd has a point. I was even too lazy to take out the Snark tuner. I still use it by the way... It's really the best way to tune the guitar.



Ruphus -> RE: A lesson with Barbosa Lima back in 1993. (May 8 2014 16:45:30)

Until tempered tuning, and better yet on strobe level.
Not meant for smart assing.

It´s really worth it. Grants you a whole new guitar.

Thanks jg, that was very nice.

I met Carlos ages ago during the first big guitar festival in Toronto - I had the job of picking up various guests from the airport, including him and Alirio Diaz. Both of them nice guys and great players, with spidery hands, but Carlos has a freaky left hand with the longest little finger I ever saw. It seems there's a touch of octopus DNA in there. You were lucky to have a kitchen session with him.

Well you have all of Paco, so...

He really does. That's why I think most of his arrangements are only playable to him especially the ragtime stuff... I did study with him for awhile. He actually liked my tremolo but yeah I was fortunate enough to study with him. He did a few things that wasn't just fair with that LH pinky. My fingers are tiny compared to his. [:D]
