IMO his compas , moves around conviniently for his falsetas. i had trouble hearing a clear compas and pulse in his buleria, ofcourse he used no palmas or cajon but if my memory serves me right, i dont remember felling the pulse, u dont need palmas or cajon for a buleria to feel like a buleria, just cause they not present dosent mean, it shouldnt feel spot on. but instead he played loud [;)] And Deniz is correct, he has some good rasqueado in places, but he dosent do it to add to the song he does it to show he has good rasqueado. but i dont entirely blame him for that, one Should enfessize what he does best but dont take my word for it, il upload the video. and i have to see the video, my buleria might have been just as bad or worst i dont know, but then again i am not the great JM , world famous maestro, voted top 3 in the world . I am nobody [:D]and my falsetas were way more complicated than his.. but i am pretty sure I was never out of compas i dont think .[8|] also worth mentioning that Alo imo played brilliantly he did some of favs of mine that he does, he did the Vicente's new farucca from the new album, that was his second number at the start of the night, he was so nervous just as i was ( mean cmon, GRISHAS TEACHER WAS THERE [:o]!) but he did it and from what i heard in the changing room did a pretty good job too. Ok [&:] I said too much allready .... theres enough material here to keep this forum arguing for a month [:D] This is to the guy or guys...whatever who keeps taking ratings away from people who are expressing theyr opinion.....i am sick of walking on eggshels just because you have limited flamenco exposure. sorry, take it or leave it, its just one opinion and Ron asked me, i am just one of many but i didnt feel like i was in the presence of one of the 3rd best guitarists in the world not even 3002rd best one, and if he wasent JM and lived here, i dont think the dancers would hire him to play for theyr gigs, even told me how shocked they were when they heard him, because they read the Bio first. so respect ? why ? he didnt show us any and from what i heard dosent show better guitarists than himself any, and i dont peticulary like his music.. he wrote a book ? didnt do me any favours, i paid for my copy, didnt get it for free, with money i earned from me working, he did it to make some money didnt do it to help poor me... if it wasent him it would have been someone else, he didnt writte the only one. I owe more respect to the people here that ever uploaded something i used here for free, and so do you. and in your case that probably includes me, cause i uploaded a ****load of tabs. exercises, loops for free with everything i know, and all the guitarists i have seen and heard to praise him i truly feel like i would be doing flamenco and all those great unknown guitarists, really deserving of this kind of recognition a dissfavour, not to mention i feel like a sellout to my own toughts and real flamenco that is about flamenco not about self indulging untalented guitarist who carries himself as if he invented the art and hes the only real one. You think i am disrespectfull, i think everytime you praise him, knowing whats out there, you are beeing disrespectfull to the acctual flamenco and those that work hard at advancing it, and innovating it. You either know whats out there and conviniently setelled for him because he plays simple stuff that you can understand, or you dont know whats out there, in witch case shame on you but atlist allow others have spent a great deal of time listening to as many different guitarists as possible, ( i got almost every single known and unknown guitarrist album to come out of spain in the last 30 years) the right to express theyr opinion about him without labeling them "disrespecfull" He is a public figure, and this is the price of fame, people talk about theyr opinions of his music and him as a guitarrist. I am true to flamenco, i dont give a **** about Juans respect so people think differently , get over it... there you go 100 % what i think, you can keep marking my score down, but i will never change ..i might just not talk about it. We have been where you are "limited exposure" but judging by the fact that you think hes great, to me it says you havent yet been we are. Now i didnt wanna come out and say this , but today thanks to you i am not in the mood to pissfart around the topic. Dont keep looking in our direction like we are the ones with the problem that we dont give him enough respect, if you think he's great, its you , you are the one with the problem, your taste hasent passed beginner level, you need to pay more attention and try and understand what makes a good guitarist, and its not advertising, money or just loud rasqueado or writting a beginner book. quote:
