Carlos Santana can put more emotion into ONE NOTE.
Uhh, maybe, but Carlos has played with McLaughlin on record and in concert several or numerous times. And Paco and Al did record Mediterranean Sundance (played on RP fairly often), one of the gold standards of flamenco guitars, as well as the mighty fine Passion Grace and Fire, with McLaughlin. Santana's web site has a presumably comprehensive list of musicians he's played with around the world. DiMeola and McLaughlin are on it, deLucia is not. I doubt Santana would opt to play with emotionless players. Truth told, Santana is a primarily an electric guitarist, and while these other three are titans on same, they are also exceptional on acoustic. http://www.santana.com/Carlos-Jamming-With-Players/A/ |

This is beautiful. A sort of Arab and Spanish feel melded. I have not heard this Jesse cook song before.

I beg your pardon. Nylon strings are thicker, less flexible, and require a LOT more wrist strength than steel strings. Plus, because nylon strings are thicker, they require a wider guitar neck to accommodate them, which in turn requires a longer reach and a more exaggerated fretting style. And I sound just like a guitar-snob.  |

BillG can pick em...every time! I've bought a couple of CDs, based on one song I've heard here. Sometimes I've been a little disappointed.
I like the world music feel at the end, maybe it's a shawm being played? |
