I got it for five bucks at a yard sale, because I wanted to be John Denver. Those strings ripped my fingers to bloody shreds, and I could never seem to do bar-chords because the neck was so much wider than my hand-span. I later learned that to play Flamenco guitar (such as in this song) takes incredible talent, more-than-the-usual callouses on the fingertips, and the manual dexterity of a super-species. No wonder I almost gave up guitar before I even started. Which is why I completely love this song. Yeah, the guy looks like Orlando Bloom, but I bet Bloom can't make a classical, nylon-stringed guitar sound like this. I bow down. Incredible, awesome talent here.  Miss you so much, Cynaera... this music is cool... |

Or a quasi-comedy about a Mexican assassin starring Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek, Penelope Cruz, and Johnny Depp. Edit: Cynaera comment 6 spots below. Insightful and warmly amusing, like most of them were. |

| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Dec 14, 2009 - 05:49 Great guitar playing, well worth a 7 from the Nottingham jury, shame about the bumfluff caterpillars above the boys' lips.... |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Nov 12, 2009 - 20:12 good stuff... |
| Limpopoking (The Parish of St. Alfonzo) | Posted: Aug 10, 2009 - 07:11 I thought this was Paco de Lucia to begin with... nice, although speed alone doesn't do it, the artistry lies in timing and hesitation (Jeff Beck is a master at that) but I'll certainly be looking out for more of Sinti (and Jimmy R) |
| WayUpNorth (Down on the Farm) | Posted: Aug 10, 2009 - 07:10 By the way, whatever happened to the Gypsy Kings? This reminds me of them ... |

| lawman (Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) | Posted: May 07, 2009 - 03:11 Pffffff! Calls himself a guitarist? He fluffed at least two of those notes! |
| Dude (Los Gatos, CA) | Posted: Apr 05, 2009 - 13:51 Love it. The acoustic bass is as awesome as the guitar. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Oct 29, 2008 - 18:14 This guitarist is fast, fast on the draw... |
| Geecheeboy (under a crescent moon and palmetto tree) | Posted: Oct 29, 2008 - 16:54 I hear a little Django in there too. |
