Good progression.

And for those who don't like, Charo is the next room to the left.

Over-produced. Would love to hear just the raw sexuality of the guitar.

When I saw Flamenco Surf come up in the mini playlist, I briefly imagined a screaming raw Dick Dale surf guitar line over some Flaming Lips style Flamenco twistoid artistry. Kind of like expecting a Filet Mignon and getting a hot dog. One of those really old hot dogs that nobody at the 7-11 wanted, so it just sat there and wrinkled up like a Miami dowager until you stumbled in drunk at three in the morning and bought it, even though your thoroughly drunk mind tried to prevent you but was overuled my your mad monk of a stomach, so you bought it and tried to scarf it down in your car, but just threw it out the window after a couple of fetid bites. Days later, you drive by and discover that it's still there on the side of the road because not even the seagulls would eat it - and seagulls will eat stuff that causes rats to run from the room holding their little rat hands over their mouths. I'll give it a 3 for false advertising.

Sounds good. At the beginning I was not sure I would like this tune, but when I listened the solo, I'm knew that I'd find it great. Just too bad the overall music is a little bit kitch

A illustration of a skilled musician being able to blend two instrumental styles into a harmonious compositon.

hell of a guitar player... but it's flamenco, and the background music has a yawn factor of +10. Too bad.

no, that IS a bad thing.

but the flamenco gtr redeems it a bit, methinks.

Look up 'eclectic'

There shouldn't be any criteria for what gets played here. "Too shiny..."??
That's what eclectic is. If everyone liked it all, it would be pop.

Keep challenging us.

Very impressive spanish classical guitar work. A student of Segovia, huh? Man what a mentor to have!!!!!! I used to play classical guitar and some of you might find this boring, but I can tell you that classical guitar is an incredibly difficult instrument to master. Segovia is a legend.Edited By Leslie at 9:17 pm on 7/12/2003

Somewhat reminiscent of Acoustic Alchemy? Nice guitar work...

So is the occasional jazz / world piece allowable, Bill? 'Eclectic' is tricky to get a handle on :pEdited By dave_porter at 4:27 pm on 5/12/2003

Too, "refined and sparkling", for RP ... WTF ?
I thought it was a great fit and gave it a 7

Yes, music is matter of taste. Henderson was a student of Andrés Segovia (http://www.classicalguitar.net/artists/segovia/). Not the Britney Spears stuff you would like to hear, but both competent musicians, no doubt.
