I prefer my flamenco guitar spicy, doesn't have to be fast, should have some meat on the bones, can be raw or well done, as long as it doesn't sound like it's turning green on an elevator floor.
Couldn’t watch the video just yet, it’s quite time in our house. I did pop over to your web site and look at her photos. What a looker! As you know, I love the shellac tone you use on your cedar; luscious.

I get your point, though, Stephen. Well, Sabicas played it so fast I could barely hear the notes, and I wanted people to hear the guitar. Let alone that I can't play that fast.

Thanks guys.
Who am I to dispute Sabicas’ tempos, but I find myself attracted to a slower solea tempo than on his recordings of solos. I learned some parts of Bronce Gitano off on of his recordings a long time ago, but found that it was more effective slowed down.

One major impression I took from first watching Sabicas back in 1962 was that no matter what speed he played, he was never in a hurry.
