Hi, I introduce this player (with Antoine Boyer who is at least as talented) to the forum a while back and there are a couple threads now about him. He has really come into his own. Here is a video from solera flamenca. A nice buleria with different variations from his previous one : Another great composition here : You should also really check Antoine Boyer out too if you like guitar or just good musicians. I heard a lot of guitarists and I have don't think I've come across with someone who is both very advanced and interesting in different styles (classical, jazz (and gipsy jazz)). This guy compose, arrange and plays very well with an interesting take on everything : With pick : With fingers classical : With fingers jazz : The album they made together is really good full acoustic, beautifully recorded and very diverse it's called "Coincidence" and you can find it on spotify it has a nice bulerias in it which you can find on this thread : http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=299042&appid=&p=&mpage=1&key=antoine%2Cboyer&tmode=&smode=&s=#299259 Guys like me, ricardo and others who like the guitar trio should really check this one out. Best acoustic duo from the last ten years without a doubt. Sim

He is totally amazing. Once in a generation talent in my opinion

sim999 -> RE: Samuelito Solera (Feb. 12 2018 18:45:42)
Yeah insane talent. i discovered Antoine through Samuelito and he's ****ing good too he recorded his first album at 13 ahah. Check his channel and you might get two Uber guitarists for the price of one. The guy is actually improvising counter voices on tune like donna lee my brain hurts just thinking about it and it stays really musical. I have seen both of them together and solo live it was really great. For me in this generation they are certainly in the top tier ! Did you know that Roland Dyens who is in my mind the most interesting classical guitarist of the second part of the 20th century has dropped a kind word on their first album together. There is one tune of him "songe capricorne" who I like very much, Antoine wrote a second voice based on the original tune and its really good. Even Jason Becker dropped a word on the first video of Antoine that I posted, JASON BECKER :) Cheers

Yeah I've been following both their music for the last good few years and chatted online with Samuel on a few occasions. They are both incredible

sim999 -> RE: Samuelito Solera (Feb. 12 2018 18:52:40)
I don't know How can you be so good :) Plus I find their music very mature, they both have a really really good technique but they know how to use it. You don't see Samuelito abusing picado all the time (nino de pura ?) or Antoine repeating runs as fast as he can (rosenberg ?). A lot of kids (and adults) with this level of technique can fall into this trap.

Ricardo -> RE: Samuelito Solera (Feb. 12 2018 20:43:36)
Yes he is great.....I think he has more direction to his phrasing than some of the other modern guys.

Leñador -> RE: Samuelito Solera (Feb. 12 2018 20:50:50)

I watched his PDL concert videos a while back and was shocked. This guys playing is too notch . His timing and right hand are so clean, sort of like how Gerardo Nunez plays. Even if I'm not crazy about a falseta I simply enjoy listening to his playing. Hope to see more of him

rombsix -> RE: Samuelito Solera (May 12 2018 21:47:03)

Ricardo -> RE: Samuelito Solera (May 13 2018 13:09:06)
They should have him play all the classical guitars, damn

Fred Klinge -> RE: Samuelito Solera (May 13 2018 14:10:05)
I highly recommend Samuelito's cd, SOLO, recorded last year. In my unsophisticated opinion, it captures a nice blend of his flamenco and classical skills. My favorite track is "Jerejef" and it's probably the most unique piece on the album. Anyway, he's an amazing talent. Fred

Have enjoyed that Buleria ever since it was posted by Solera. Is it off one of his cd’s? We also need a transcription from our own JimiHendrix [;)]

"Solo" is an interesting recording, but in my opinion, it's a guitar album that includes different influences, i.e., flamenco, classical, jazz. I really like it, but I tend to prefer more modern flamenco recordings that have some non-traditional elements.

tri7/5 -> RE: Samuelito Solera (May 18 2018 21:02:55)
Maybe he'll release a proper flamenco album shortly. Would also be great to see a "trio" type album with Antoine. quote: ORIGINAL: Fred Klinge quote: Have enjoyed that Buleria ever since it was posted by Solera. Is it off one of his cd’s?

I like this, he should do more cante vids.

Effing, awesome! I love it! Amazing singer, but I basically hate everything else on his youtube page. [:D]

kitarist -> RE: Samuelito Solera (May 23 2018 17:01:57)
Phew, so he IS human :-) His accompanying is still a bit strained and nervous; the difference between playing with full control (his solo work) and playing a bit more on the edge...

jmg12 -> RE: Samuelito Solera (May 24 2018 15:18:33)

Grisha -> RE: Samuelito Solera (Jun. 2 2018 17:49:08)
Can't wait to hear Samuelito live. I hope I am in the first half. Would be cool to play Zyryab together for encore.

JasonM -> RE: Samuelito Solera (Feb. 4 2019 23:31:31)
I had a really cool, surreal weekend! I went to see Samuelito play with 3 other guys (Antione, Turkish guitarist Cenk Erdogan, and Luca Stricagnoli). It was a sold out show and a big audience, many people came to see this Luca fella who plays like Andy McKee stuff I went back stage with my Luthier friend because Cenk had a crack in his guitar he wanted checked out. Anyway, I was checking out Samuelito’s guitar (the negra he plays in videos) and we got to talking for a long time drinking some beers and nerding out on some flamenco. The next day Samuelito and the other 3 guys wanted to hang out so we got some lunch and hung out around town till late evening. Samuelito is able to absorb music like a sponge. For example he could play almost every Vicente Amigo piece, as good as Vicente himself. Although he studied classical guitar at a conservatory he learned flamenco pretty much from YouTube. Emulating Paco and other players. He gave me some technique pointers and corrected a problem I’ve had with getting my abinico up to speed. But I was really embarrassed to play in front of him 😂 He wants to start making high quality YouTube videos on playing and technique to give back to the YouTube community and help others out. He’s also working on his next album and other collaborations. One with a singer that will cover 60 different palos, and another with singer Alberto Garcia. Cenk is doing a collaboration album with Rycardo Moreno (I got to talk with him over FaceTime a bit) and Pirrana. Cenk is pretty incredible. And Antione is a really nice kid, very quiet but funny and a real prodigy. Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Wow! Really cool weekend indeed! Makes me happy just to hear about it [:D][sm=Smiley Guitar.gif]

Amazing! You lucky dog!
