None of the Nuevo Flamenco guitarists I listen to play weirdo guitars.
And they can really play.


Nobody of any real importance plays weirdo guitars. "Importance" is defined
as "Will anyone remember them in a few years?"

You mean like Bo Diddley?

Or maybe you meant The Ventures...



The Ventures were technically perfect, but they didn't have soul.

SWS,

Two things come to mind when watching that.

1 - There is a base level where everybody, no matter what the politics
and/or personal beliefs, is the same.

2 - The difference is in the details. :)

I first saw the Leningrad Cowboys somewhere in the mid-90's on some TV
show. I thought they were pretty good actually for a cover band.

Have you ever seen the Red Army Chorus in person? Unreal. Beautiful
music. I saw them in the '80s during the spate of "cultural exchange"
stuff that the State Department was doing.

I just picked up a remixed Ventures CD yesterday. Kinda fun to go back to
one's youth once in a while. I had a small acoustical guitar when the
Ventures were popular in which I mounted a cheap microphone stolen from a
little Radio Shack, battery powered tape recorder. Then, I drilled a hole
through my parent's AM tabletop radio, mounted a jack in the hole and
soldered wires from the jack to the volume control potentiometer in the
radio.

Turn the tuning dial all the way to one of the stops, turn the volume up
full blast, and instant electric guitar, strumming along with "Telstar".

I have always said the same thing about religion, the difference is in
the details.

In short, their pick of guitars has nothing to do with their ability
or lack of.

A Flamenco guitar in itself is shaped like no other.

Next Harry will be telling us how he builds and owns the best guitars
in the world. He keeps them on his lobster boat, too!

I'm referring more to people whose ONLY claim to "fame" is a strange
instrument.

Even Stanley Clarke doesn't lean very heavily on the piccolo bass, although
he pretty much invented it.
