In Reply to: Know anything about "Sabicas"? posted by Allan on September 2, 1999 at 09:13:29:
I was interested in trying to learn flamenco. Never made a good flamenco guitarist but I had some Sabicas lps. He was my favourite guitarist - very crisp clean sound, good ideas, wonderful technique. The teacher I was trying to learn from was also a Sabicas fanatic - would play discs at half speed and try to learn the pieces. He could do it too. I couldn't even play them at quarter speed when he showed me.I really enjoyed those lessons, though. He charged me half price for a quarter lesson and we spent the other three quarters jamming on other music and talking. I think we both knew I wouldn't make it in flamenco but we both had a good time.
