Best American Flamenco guitarist?
|
|
|
Just wanted to know what you guys think about guitarist Jason McGuire. I was surfing the net and found some video clips. He is a monster! Great compositions - very original and artistic. I've heard some people say Adam del Monte or Pedro Cortes are very good. I saw both of them live but didn't impress me much. Chuscales is excellent as well. He is actually the guitarist that had mentioned Jason to me. Click on the videos: http://www.caminosflamencos.com/photos.htm The fandangos "encrucijada" is awesome.

Best American Flamenco Guitarist? David Serva. Hands down. Indeed Jason McGuire has all kinds of technique ("un monstruo!") and compositional talents to boot. His playing is just not terrifically flamenco to my ears. (Agustin Rios is a former teacher of mine and can play extremely well and "muy flamenco" but, as a Spaniard, he doesn't fit the category.) Just one guy's opinion....

A great flamenco guitarist is one who can accompany cante. I have played with David Serva en juerga, accompanying a very complete cantaor whom he had never met before. Afterwards they embraced: David said "you are an encycopedia of cante" and the cantaor said "you can accompany anything, and very well, better than almost anyone who has played for me." Sean
