Flamenco Solea

[Halem]

Thanks and thanks and thanks, friends!

Tony W, i remember you wanted to try GR-20 in one of your compositions, let me know if you've already done it, i don't want to miss.

Hi Nightcaller, glad to meet you here.  I definitely will keep posting my flamenco works, it just takes a lot of time to learn the particular genre.

Satchwood, hahaha, one day i will, be sure!

I sit in stunned silence by this, so beautiful.  A million thanks for recording and posting something as stunning as this.  Muchas Gracias.

I absolutely love, admire and envy this! Superb playing in every sense. I would have preferred some hand-claps and stamped-foot rhythms, but that's just being picky. I'd like a lesson or two from you in flamenco! I'm a fan.

[Mach]

Thanks Greeny! Actually there is palmas(hand claps) part in rhythm, it jumps between stereo channels. Samples are not of a big quality so it doesn't give the live feeling i guess. The rest of rhythm is cajon and bongo, which are traditional for modern flamenco. I had to write all the percussion part in Sonar cause drum machines just cant handle 12-beat compas.

I thought I was the only one to have posted some flamenco here! This was great! Can you tell me who made your guitar - it's sounds a lot better than mine!

Thanks jackofall!

My guitar is narrow-sides Madrigal Flamenco (http://www.guitarrasmadrigal.es/conservatory91.asp) by Manuel Bachiller. This is actually the ONLY flamenco guitar i could find in my city.  This one is quite comfortable for playing plugged-in, but lacks loudness acoustically.

My luthier friend is now working on a copy of Manuel Reyes blanca for me. I will record a lot with it when it's ready.

But may be it's not about the guitar, but the way of recording. I record straight into microBr with a ForNylon setting from a guitar built-in mic.
