Was very fortunate that my Dad took me to see Carlos play. My mind was blown. By far the best guitarist I have ever seen live.......and I have seen hundreds and hundreds. R.I.P.

I remember listening to The Beatles, and my Father walking into the room, and I said "I want to learn how to play the guitar" and he said, we'll before we spend the money on a guitar for you, you'll have to listen to of the real masters, 2 nights later he came home, (he was a waiter in NYC, and came home with the album, "Montoya" and said... "you want to hear a real guitarist? listen to this man play the guitar", at 1st I argued with him that there is no way this could be One person playing, there must be more than one guitarist. Shows me how wrong and stupid, youth can be. ... Thanks Dad, where ever you may be, then he came home one night, with another album by a guy named Segovia. but a few years later, I heard Black Sabbath, and that REALLY changed my life, I bought a 2nd hand Ovation, and Gibson SG, and haven't looked back since. even though I still have tapes, albums, and CD's of them that I'll play at top volume in my car, and in my home sometimes just for inspiration. It still amazes me.

john smith I'm at that same conclusion where if I'm gonna watch some flamenco I mainly watch Paco thinking he put the real excitement into flamenco but then you realise there's nothing new under the sun! I didn't realise this guy was on fire way back before even the Beatles came along. I'm thinking this offers more musically than a lot of Paco's playing though he's lacking in the perfect technique of Paco, it's made me realise that all these players offer a different flavour and it's not like you can say which is the best, but you're right, I keep coming back to this for the music and they're quite happy themes, Paco is someone I prefer to watch rather than listen to.

Carlos was a guy who knew how to play flamenco very well but decided to to go to America and became a showman. He threw the flamenco compas out the window, tuned his guitar about two tones lower to facilitate all those endless left hand tricks on a guitar with such a low action that you couldn't fit a cigarette paper under the strings! He had a good technique apart from his tremolo, lots of showy tricks and he sucked in the yanks and made heaps of money. Sabicas on the other hand went to America and stayed pure to his art and became the greatest flamenco guitarist of his era and possibly of all time!

Very Hollywood. You are all wrong. He was an astonishing entertainer. He could keep the timing but he could make more money playing his style for the Americans. He did play with his uncle Ramon (the father of the Flamenco Guitar) in early years. I had been at 3 concerts and he received standing ovations at every single one. When I spoke with him several times he was a bit defensive because he knew that Spanish Flamenco guitarists in Spain did not take him seriously. People such as Nino Ricardo, Sabicas, Juan Carmona, and so on. If you want to compare his counter part then look over :Manitos De Plata. It is a long story but you can go from there. SUERTE!
