Paco De Lucia and Larry Coryell Youtube
This is a tremendous Acoustic Video of Flamenco Master Paco De Lucia and Contemporary Jazz Guitar Player Larry Corryell. Paco on his nylon string flamenco guitar, (note these are a little thinner than your stanard Torres style classicals, by being thinner the mguitar has a more rapid projection of sound from the soundboard) and Larry on his Ovation acoustic, with rounded back. Although they are from very different backgrounds, it works, both musical traditions are styles which encourage improvisation. Improvisation for me means , take an idea and run with it; true improvising is never safe, it is full of risks and that’s what makes it exciting.
The tune is Mediterranean Sundance by Al Di Meola, the Jazz Rocker famous for his stint with Chic Correa in Return to forever.
When you break this tune down, the basic idea of it is really quite simple, listen closely to what they are doing. The first part is built of an A minor chord.
