Iam speaking from a non aficianados point of view. Yes they all sound differant to me, but to your average audiance, which in most cases is 90% or there about, of the time, even in Tabernas, unless it is an audiance of Flamenco guitarists, in which case it would be a nightmare to play anyway. Then all the modern styles sounds like PDL. I have heard this comment so often from say Jazz guitarists, that such and such a guitarist is great but sounds like PDL, which of course is not true, they have all evolved their styles. But most flamencos play to an audiance that doesent know the differance from your PDL or your Jaun Martins of this world. Cheers faIr enough Paco but a guitarist shouldnt develop theyr style acording to a unknowing, uninterested , uninformed audience. thats another thing that made Paco a king, he took audiences on different trips all the time, forced them to share his vision, he dictated the artist he was and he sold it not the audience. I mean to those people it dont matter what you do, as long as they get to be seen there. If its not this its another play, same thing to them. you could play wahtever you want to them , they wont applaud you, they will applaud your Artist Bio written in the program. if everyone catered for people who dont care about the art form, most of us will not be here because we would be uninspired. And if JM is not worried about pleasing guitarists just general uninformed audiences (fair enough) but then why is it such a surrprise that he is getting criticised in a guitar forum ? they probably talking very higly of him right now at a midlle class, trendy , culturaly aware wanna be, anual Spanish theme party in Yorkshire. there are no accidents or coincidences, everyone gets out what they put in.
