quote:
tone colour, dynamics, phrasing, accuracy etc. Every note you play is shaped perfectly. I feel flamenco guitar players, advanced players especially, focus on the same musical aspects. That is what it means to have a "flamenco sound". A classical player can not "shape" his phrase or notes to sound more like "flamenco" if he so chose with his superior technical ability. I feel it CAN be equally difficult for the flamenco player to shape his notes to sound more like Bream or whoever. So for me, there is equality between differing styles when it comes to these aspects. Counterpoint is tricky too, bringing out voices the right way, but as soon as you introduce the idea that you don't necessarily need total rhythmic control, the whole thing gets A LOT easier to execute. With the idea of rhythm control being important, while still focusing on phrase, tone, dynamics, accent, accuracy, etc, THEN you start realizing who is "superior" technically. Ok ok, enough, can of worms lid back on. I might go back and delete this off topic stuff. And dust off the Chaconne again. Ricardo
