Im not a patrioitc neither a localist guy but I was born in the same town that Paco was born (Algeciras). I dont believe in flags but he is my flag, and he represents me all over the world. Im a punk metal guy I play guitar but I dont have to much knowledge about Flamenco , well it doesnt matter to me cause everytime I see Paco playing guitar I feel emotional and I start crying, especially when I see a pure reaction like yours that honours in such noble way what this genius was capable to achieve. Thank you for nice words and you appreciation. Greetings from the southest south of Spain.

I don't know what I like more, listen to Paco, or listen to you talk about him. Thank you very much for your respectful treatment of Paco. I like to listen to Paco, and if at the same time I can see your face of enjoyment, I like it even more. Paco was also an extremely human and warm person. Very close. Here in Spain we all love it, even if some of us only know the song "Entre dos aguas". People only know that piece. Only music lovers, especially guitarists, know more about him. That song was so commercialized that for many it seems that everything has already been said in it. You know more about him than ninety percent of the people in Spain. In Andalusia it is no longer like that, there it is the daily bread. I've always been a fan of Randy Rhoads, Pat Metheny, Napalm Death, Derek Bailey, Stravinsky, etc... But Paco is really something out of the ordinary, jajajaja. You are a very good person. Let me consider you as a friend. Thanks for everything. ☺️🙂

Thank you for your reaction to the video. I've been following your channel for several weeks now and I liked your work so much that I subscribed to the channel. I was lucky enough to meet Paco many many years ago and listen to him play guitar on a beach one evening. I have never forgotten that evening and feel his unexpected death was a great loss to the whole music world. Best regards from Germany.

Thanks for another great reaction. Glad you have had a chance to see this performance. There are a number of videos from this same program that have equally as good camera shots of his hands... Enjoy going down the rabbit hole as you said!!

Paco de Lucia, influenced the guitarists of Heavy Metal. It was so clean and fast, it really is always considered No. 1 in the world with this incredible clarity in the notes at such speed...

Gracias por divulgar la grandeza de Paco.

The problem with spreading flamenco guitar is the lack of good flamenco singers around the globe. You cannot be a well rounded flamenco musician without a firm control of flamenco rhythms and language. All those Spanish flamenco artists have thousands of hours jamming with dancers, clappers and singers. Not gonna easily find them in America.

The face of this man and the way he talks about Paco says it all. Has happened to me as well, fortunately I was a bit younger and even managed to learn quite a bit of flamenco guitar. Maybe one of the best things I’ve ever done.

Beautiful song......grande Paco de Lucia

Paco again in the channel! Great! I love this piece.I remember me trying to learn it and getting along quite well with the arpeggios in the beginnig (of course in a very much slower pace) but then came Paco´s first run and then I put my guitar back in the box,hahaha! Guajira is a flamenco genre inspired in cuban music brought to Spain when the Spanish people who migrated to Cuba came back home,so we can hear some caribbean sounds in it.Paco´s compositive talent offers a piece with so many sides in only 5 minutes.

Lovely to hear your sincere comments and awe of Paco. Ive been lucky enough to see him a few times in London-leaving me breathless or tearful but forevere inspired

Very beautiful words, a lot of truth and sensitivity in your speech, thank you very much for your reaction,

Sobre los artistas del flamenco, recomiendo que vean y oigan al duo que formaron hace más de 40 años Paco y Camarón de la Isla... Alucinante

thanks for the reaction :D paco was inspired by sabicas sabicas pretty much started flamenco guitar but paco made flamenco popular and your right he inspires almost every guitarist and he inspires me too im 13 years old i used to play classical guitar but when my fathers friend saw my playing he actually liked it and showed me paco which i was blown away by hes playing since then my guitar playing also changed i found a popular flamenco guitar teacher that was taught by paco pena which was taught by sabicas and he really liked my playing and my self esteem is at all time high now lol if you liked this camera angle you see paco had alot of recordings in the same place heres some tarantas recuerdo a patino paco y ramon por bulerias and also my personal fav concert from paco for now is hes sevilla concert react to hes zyryab and cancion de amor/entre dos aguas and react to aranjuez its a classical piece which paco played and played better than all of the classical guitarists todays guitarists only care about speed paco played really strong and with alot of deep emotions you can also check out grisha goryachev hes a guitarist that paco liked alot i see your a rock guitarist so you can react to hes duo/trios with famous jazz/rock players like al di meola john mclaughlin and paco de lucia Mediterranean Sundance thanks again for the reaction it makes my day lol

Esta pieza es del palo flamenco denominado Guajira, es un palo rítmico de un compás compuesto de 12 tiempos como la soleá, alegría o bulería. Esta pieza la tocó desde hace muchos años y es una de las obras de Paco más difíciles en cuanto técnica se refiere. Enhorabuena por poner y hablar sobre esto temas. Saludos desde Terrassa, Barcelona, España

Te aprecio y comparto contigo un enlace de la cantaora Diana Navarro luciéndose con una guajira (el mismo tipo de flamenco que escuchaste en este video del Maestro). Te sorprenderá. La Guajira es un tipo de flamenco que se escuchaba en la América Española y los ciudadanos de las provincias españolas de allí (No eran colonias) cuando viajaban a España, traían ésas influencias musicales. Por eso le llaman Cantes de ida y vuelta. Saludos y Respetos

Como siempre !es genial! Le recomiendo una alegría que se llama La Barrosa de Paco de Lucía, seguro que le gustará. Gracias por su reconocimiento a Paco de Lucía y a los guitarristas del flamenco en general.

This piece for me is Eruption on Classical guitar. Take a look at Paco Pena, Augustine Berrios Mangore, Pepe Romero

Now you're ready to listen to Triana. Just to blow your mind try "Del Crepusculo lento nacera el Rocio" (From slow dusk, dawn will rise)

You have to see "La Tumbona (Bulerias)" or "Tarantas"... you will like it

I first heard Rodrigo’s concerto in the movie El CID with Charlton Heston, I fell in love with it, then I heard Paco do it….. well you know! Cheers.

There are many outstanding flamenco guitarists these days such as Paco Serrano, Vincente Amigo, Pepe Habichuela, and Tomatito (just to name a few). But they are all eclipsed by Paco de Lucia. It's rather difficult to compete with Paco's complete and seeming effortless mastery of the instrument and his harmonic invention. His amazing performances have been also been transcribed and presented anew by a number of serious students of flamenco guitar such as Grisha Goryachev and a few rather amazing Japanese flamenco guitarists. With that said, it's hard to surpass Paco de Lucia...and it is no wonder that so many have tried to copy him. I recommend that you check out Paco's rather astonishing performance of Rodrigo''s famous Concerto de Aranjuez. In its day this was the guitar concerto (there were precious few) that nearly every classical guitarist was obligated to perform. I've heard most of the great classical guitarists perform this wonderful concerto, but in my view - and I admit to being somewhat biased - Paco's performance tops them all. And it's rather doubly amazing since Paco was not a classical guitarist...and it took him some effort to work through learning this piece. You can check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iL5hfcuK0LLcoqc.html Finally, there are some tremendous classical guitarists working today who are as mind blowing as Paco, though the music generally does not require the sort of finger gymnastics that are part of flamenco. Rather, they are more subtle, though clearly equally challenging. I recommend you listen to David Russell, who in my opinion - for what it's worth - is the most amazing classical guitarist working today. For example, check out his live performances of the Bach Lute Suites: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hKeGnqVyt83Nl6M.html

Today many guitarists are capable of doing what Paco did at the time he played and even though technically they are better. Paco was a technical monster too because his father put a guitar in his hands at 8 years old and made him practice the instrument 8 hours a day and he lived his whole life for this instrument, but the difference is that Paco played the guitar with his soul in the service of Andalusian culture and it is called Flamenco. Nowadays this heritage is gradually being lost, it still persists because certain musicians and singers still keep this musical tradition alive thanks to festivals and Andalusian Ferias or television broadcasts which still devote time to perpetuate this culture. Paco was, is and will remain a legend.

Hay un video de Paco tocando "impetu" que es algo sobrenatural. Saludos 👍

i'm from morocco near spain and paco i my favorite flamenco guitariste of all time, i love your reactions, sincere not faking, and i think you have to listen to django reinhardt jazz manouche guitariste next level

Has been fun watching your Paco de Lucia's videos. You and your viewers a sensible people and is cool to gather. A technical suggestion from Spain to dig a litle bit and get more from this art is the musical metrics of Flamenco "el compas". Rock music normally stays in 4/4. Pacos and flamencos uses different complex metrical patterns for different song styles "palos" as ex. If you hear Almoraina "bulerias, you can try to follow the 12 beats pattern that allways fits on frasing. 1,2,3,1,2,1,2,1,2. Per bar. Then you ll understand and enjoy better. Ther is nothing out from compas; best for everybody

Fantástico y muy original

If you wish to learn more about some spanish guitar techniques you should view videos from Paola Hermosin. She explains everything she does on the guitar with subtitles, and includes the sheet music in her website. She also has videos with pro tips like the Flamenco tremolo picking (check them out). She does not only play Flamenco style, but also classical and other genres.

Inolvidable eterno

I have a good one for you, it is not flamenco but spaniard "rock-pop" music: monica naranjo sobreviviré, look for the live version: "monica naranjo sobreviviré pavarotti and friends" Greetings from the canary islands

Una preciosidad, sí señor.

Otra banda que es muy buena es TRIANA, mezcla de rock con flamenco 100% recomendable

Must wach concierto de Aranjuez playing Paco

Gracias. Thank you, I recommend the reaction to Maestro Paco from the Aranjuez concert if you have not already enjoyed it. Sorry for the translation, it's from Google, I don't know English.

I love you because you love Paco de Lucia

He visto todas sus reacciones al gran maestro Paco de Lucía y seguiré viendo su canal. Me gustaría que reaccionara a un grupo español llamado Robe, concretamente "Nana cruel" en directo en el anfiteatro romano de Mérida. Seguramente podrá apreciar a estos excelentes musicos. Las letras de las canciones, cualquiera de ellas, son muy importantes, están escritas por el solista Robe. Espero con impaciencia su reacción. Un saludo.

Amazing video! U must listen this 3 pieces man u gonna cry so hard Paco de de Lucía - Tarantas Paco de Lucía - Recuerdo a Patiño Paco de Lucía - reflejo de luna (granaina) Hope u enjoy!🤙

thank you

I think is important to appoint the bast influence the spanish barroque music has had in the modern pieces of spanish classic guitar, for be more accurate at the genre called zarzuela. That can be seen at Gaspar sanz (1640-1710) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rt9-dZCkqLilc3U.htmlsi=F-31FHhHqPb8Atmg

Comrade, it says a lot about you by dedicating so many videos reacting to the MASTER OF MASTERS within the world of guitar like Paco. There are other greats in the history of Spain such as Andrés Segovia and Narciso Yepes. If you see his guitar performances they will not leave you indifferent, I guarantee it. Even so, and as Paco de Lucía himself said, "There are great guitarists with an empty refrigerator" Regards, and thank you very much!!! 😁😁😁🖐 Compañero, muchísimo dice de usted al dedicarle tantos vídeos reaccionando al MAESTRO DE MAESTROS dentro del mundo de la guitarra como fue Paco. Hay otros grandes en la historia de España como Andrés Segovia y Narciso Yepes. Si viese sus interpretaciones con la guitarra, no le dejarán indiferente, se lo garantizo. Aún así y como dijo el propio Paco de Lucía, "Hay grandes guitarristas con la nevera vacía" ¡¡¡Un saludo y muchas gracias!!! 😁😁😁🖐

I would love to see your reaction to live Andalusian gypsies by Paco de Lucia son bulerías. you feel like throwing away the guitar

Most guitarrits play the guitar. Paco made it love.

Cada vez pronuncias mejor Lucia "👍👍👍👍👍

España ☝😀🥂

'Entr du saguas' 'los panaderos' are easy to play, you can try them. Rumba and tangos are not hard simply because the beat is 4/4, but the 5/12 beat ones like soleares, alegrias, bulerias, fandangos, suigria are hard because it is hard to keep beat unless after thorough training. Yet, I played alegrias and bulerias but couldnt improvise..i just sticked to the musicsheet. Paco as he puts in his own words is an improvisation junkie... he picked it up as he plays with the other ones Mcklavlin and Demiola

Paco de Lucia said that the best guitarist he ever heard was Sabitas. You should watch it on KZfaq. Best wishes.

The "í" instead of "i" indicates that's the vowel of the accent, not every word has á, é, í, ó, ú, but that indicates an accent

Please react to La tarde es Caramelo by Vicente Amigo. The live version.

Paco de Lucia - Reflejo de luna (Granaina) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mMp7p6R0qJqppok.html

Listen as well to Silvio Rodríguez-Óleo de una mujer con sombrero, not as great as Paco but you gotta see it

Me parece increíble que haya mas videos de Paco de Lucía,de no Españoles,que de los propios Españoles. Sin lugar a duda esta gente hace mas por la difusión de la cultura española,que el propio ministerio de cultura. Olé por ti y tu canal 😎👍

Thank you for all the wonderful things that you say about my guitar hero I’ve been faithfully studying flamenco for the past almost 5 years . I have a phenomenal teacher from Spain that I do classes through Skype weekly. He was friends with Paco for many years his name is Ruben Diaz -his KZfaq channel where he specializes on Paco technique exclusively. Is Ruben Diaz Flamenco Guitar. - left me know if I can be of any help to you in the Flamenco realm, ( I do read a shit ton of flamenco books ). Keep up the amazing work . Warmest regard Ruben Serrano

Please, do Paco de lucia Labarrosa man, you will lose your mind 🙏 Thank you
