Any one Paco de Luca album would be enough.
Paco de Lucia as well as the Gypsy Kings get played on RP regularly.
He made some silly solos with effects, but I enjoyed the virtuosity as a whole.
Great to watch and hear!
A softer Rodrigo y Gabriela
Except, he was first. They probably learned from him!
Do we ever get just good, straight ahead Flamenco on here?
Any one Paco de Luca album would be enough.
PS, I always wonder how well-tuned a guitar is when all the tuning pegs are en face, like in this picture.
Check out VH1's Billy Idol Storytellers. Amazing. BI is a hoot and SS is off the scale. A lot of fun all around.
As for this.....Thank you Bill for this outstanding cut as I will not be popping for the other wise weak compilation but, this cut is A-OK.
Fantastic all the way through. Fun LA Woman to boot
Slash has a similar incredible side that is as much of a pleasant surprise as this is. Thanks Bill!
Actually, he's always done what he wants. A master.
Well, there's a reason. From AllMusic.com:
Conceived as a tribute to Taylor guitars, this recording manages to transcend any stereotypes of projects dedicated to the advancement of a business principle or product. That's due to the quality of the performers, the pieces they play, and the passion they bring to them. There's really not a misstep in the bunch. Guitar slingers from Russ Freeman to Leo Kottke, Steve Stevens and Billy Joe Walker are joined by singers such as Vince Gill, Kathy Mattea, Amy Grant and Joe Lynn Turner who eschew voice in favor of guitar. Of particular note is "Java Man" by Michael Hedges. This was the last recording Hedges made before his untimely death in an automobile accident, and Windham Hill founder William Ackerman speaks to his legacy in moving liner notes.
If you like acoustic guitar, get this album. It was produced by Windham Hill in conjunction with Taylor for promo stuff. Used copies are available. There were volumes 2 and 3, too; this is volume 1.
I agree that
The guitar is outstanding.

Also, "Steve Stevens" is an homage to "Sylvain Sylvain" of New York Dolls fame.
MMMMhMMM.

This style of music always brings out the guitar snobs. There seems to be some mystery "pure" Flamenco we are all missing.
Thank you; that's the way I feel about it. Torturous.
Yeah, that's what I thought when I first heard it. Nice tune. BTW, it's Gipsy Kings, fwiw

sounds better than...
Bob Bobs or Rob Robs
I wonder what his middle name is......
Sadhana (Sanskrit à€žà€Ÿà€§à€šà€®à¥, Hindi: à€žà€Ÿà€§à€šà€Ÿ) is a Hindi term for "a means of accomplishing something" or more specifically "spiritual practice". It includes a variety of disciplines from Hindu and Buddhist traditions that are followed in order to achieve various spiritual or ritual objectives. The word is also used in the same connection within Sikhism.

The only quibble I have with this type of music is that it is exactly the same as all other bands/performers who play this genre. I saw Strunz & Farah play in Toronto in the early 1990s, and have a couple of their CDs, and if you told me this was them, I'd have no way of telling it wasn't...
But it's good, nevertheless... :-)
Yes, yes it is
Sure it is - in multiple volumes. It just isn't linked to the RP page, for some reason.
I have vols 1 and 2; imho Vol 2 is better although they're both great. Especially love "Ava's Eyes," Richie Sambora's love song to his daughter.
Steve Stevens is such an exciting guitarist. I really enjoyed the stuff he did with Terry Bozzio and Tony Levin...great talent together. Every time I hear his stuff I have to turn up the volume. Let's hear more of him!
The song's cool, though.
