exactly! (included in the OP)
Very nicely done! We are witnessing some of the differences between the classical guitarist and the flamenco guitarist. Flamenco players are more likely to use the capo, classical players almost never. How very cool you studied with Segovia! Would he have done this in the key of E?
Oh, I thought I was going to hear some Gregorian chant. You know, Latin music.
Loved it...thank you for sharing it with me. It was worth every minute of it.
Absolute perfection....As a side note, Roy Clark does one hell of a rendition of Malaguena on the 12-string guitar....Youtube video.
That was nice! But listen to Montoya’s version, stupendous!
https://youtu.be/b1gVZsbt6I4Btw, I attended Segovia’s show in Worcester Ma somewhere around the late 70’s, early 80’s... an event I’ll never forget.
That was a very good rendition. I noticed he had a capo on the 2nd fret to pump up the highs. I play Malaguena every week and began over 50 years ago. My version has similarities but differes from his in other ways. My flamenco teachers trained under Sabicus and Paco de Lucia , and they all had a similar but different twist on every flamenco song I learned from them. I've found a good artist makes the song. I've been to Spain twice and around the world and never heard the exact rendition of a flamenco classic by any flamenco player. Just similarities with lots of variations.
In the end, they still sound great if done well.
