Paul Gilbert youTube
Paul Gilbert on acoustic guitar, you may remember him from Racer X and Mr Big. In this youtube video he’s on a nylon string guitar. He is quite clear about his abilities at playing something that resembles Flamenco. It’s worth watching his fretting hand closely, I’ve seen very few guitar players with such long fingers. I like to see players take a style or a tune and make it their own, and this is a perfect example of it. His right hand has a very ‘tight’ sort of technique, unusual but effective. Watching him play it’s easy to see his dedication and commitment to guitar. I’m very impressed, his music has a freshness to it. And the fact that he toured in 2007 with Satriani is no doubt a certification of how good he really is.
Enjoy. If you want to see some contemporay flamenco guitar, check out Paco de Lucia
