RIP Paco de Lucia

Damn, this guy was such a badass. I used to listen to him all the time when I was learning classical guitar and intro flamenco stuff.

Ugh, what a loss.

His choice of notes. Right hand fingers.


Awesome guitarist that still makes my head hurt.

That was spectacular. And the other guy (apologies if he's famous) is unbelievable, too. I didn't hear a single rolled string and the fingerwork was amazing.

That's Al Di Meola, the one with the glasses. I discovered De Lucia in the late 90s via the album "Friday Night in San Francisco" with Di Meola and John McLaughlin. Check it out sometime. Great improvisational record.

whoa, not sure what light it sheds on my year of classical guitar in college that my teacher never turned me on to him. big loss, and now I'll be spending the next week OCD'ing over his stuff.

WTF? Paco de Lucia was the most famous classical/flamenco guitarist of the 20'th century. That's crazy your teacher never even mentioned him.

RIP indeed, the trio was awesome.
