I don't have time to quote everyone but just from memory: Patrick, Todd's statement should have read "I don't know and I don't care because this vid is freakin playback. They dont' have to be using the guitar on the recording you are seeing in their hands." But I said that, in fact thats why I dont' see a need to edit todd's point of view. I am free to make my own statements just like you and Todd. And Todd seemed to foresee what was coming because Exitao's response of "which guitar is better for ...." is in need of the "it's in the hands" type of response we know Todd likes to remind folks about. Hence, he does not "care" what kind of guitar. I don't see a need to jump on Todd with the "this is not the only time and I am not the only one" gang up stuff. I disagree with Todd often. But no need to change how he words his thoughts and feelings. Honesty is always the best, sugar coated or not. Communication on the internet is a problem because we have to take things at face value sometimes. But Todd's statement "I don't care" I am reading into more because I know the stuff he said in the past, and the mp3 he posted of the Yamaha guitar that sounded like Breams Romanillos etc. I get where he is commin from in other words. And about Ramirez, yeah I figured it was not a "flamenco" negra literally. Are you sure about 664? My conde is that, the old ramirez of my father was 671, really big, I mean string from bridge to nut, if that is the right way to measure. Exitao, in general blanca is for accomp, negra good for solo, but it is personal preference, maker, the instrument itself. You have to experiment. Don't judge by the maestros only, try different guitars yourself. And don't try to get a visual/aural idea from playback vids. I really think paco used a different guitar on the CD than the vid, but I have no proof. The point is, that it is a possibility. And there is nothing wrong chatting about it, speculating, admiring the maestros and their equipment choices, etc, but keep in mind Todd's point has a lot of truth. I mean Todd's point I am reading into which is really my point since he never said that. I love the forums. Ricardo
