That seems a bit naïve.  I think if you were to ask some really good guitarists, including ones who played along side him or studied with him at Berklee, they'd tell you he was much more than just a fast guitarist.  I'll bet Paco would tell you that, too.

Ahhhh....I used to have this vinyl. Left it in Sweden with the other 600 vinyls I left over there..Friggin shipping costs would have killed me..

HORRIBLE - this freakin' perfectionists!

YAWN...!!!!

Hey, are you accusing this of being as bad as Vogon poetry? Shame on you, mate! Mind you, it would be interesting if someone wrote a song based on "ode to a piece of green putty I found in my armpit this morning" ;)

Must have calluses half an inch thick... Stunning.

Saw RTF in Madison ,I think it was 1976-77? Each member came out and did a solo. Al blew us away!!!

wow.

DiMeola is so fast... fast on the draw...  love it...

Probably my favorite acoustic guitar recording ever. I tried to rate it 11 but the scale only goes to 10.

DiMeola is one great flamenco guitarist...

"Nnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyuuuuuuurrrrrrrggggggghhhhh!" cried Ford Prefect and threw one final spasm as the electronic enhancement of the last line caught him full blast across the temples. He went limp.

The Les Paul hanging from Mr. DiMeola's shoulder on the cover photo is a pretty good clue.

Is that Russell Crowe's alter ego? 

DiMeola— one of the fastest on the draw... this song is good for the ears...

I've heard this song enough times to be bored by it, but in Al Dimeola's hands, it's new again!

Hey, that "strange jazz-fusion electric garbage" is what I like.

But you're right about one thing... people should be aware that the rest of the album is not like this song.

I love this song.

If you can , listen the first cut of album " Fuente y Caudal", the song " Entre dos Aguas".

My memory was imperfect. Was the first song on the album, not the last studio recording.

I think is Paco de Lucia playing, directly.....this is a perfect copy of the most famous
 Paco de Lucia Song. Bill, please, look for " Fuente y Caudal" of Paco de Lucia. Thnx.

DiMeola was fast... fast on the draw...

I used to have that album and it was definitely on it. I think it was the last song, the only studio recording on the record.

So, I bought the album on the strength of this track... oh man what a mistake!  I'm still not entirely sure how this song can exist on the same album as the strange jazz-fusion electric garbage that makes up the remainder.   Okay, "Race With The Devil On A Spanish Highway" isn't TOO bad, though it certainly doesn't match.

Nonetheless, THIS song is quite spectacular.  Just don't go buying the album thinking the rest will be even remotely close.  It's not even in the same league, let alone the same style.

I thought this number came off of the "Friday Night in San Fransisco" album with John MacLaughlin and Paco DeLucia. 9
