Well, he's not a match to Paco, of course, but he's very interesting indeed. I particularly liked the tune he starts to play around 07:25. Excellent classical technique.

That guy plays in probably one of the most ridiculous bands ever. The band's name is Flametal, im hoping you can guess the genre........Go on Youtube and just type in Flametal and prepare to feel ridiculous.

Feel ridiculous? I just dont see that happening here... Maybe if you can show me a video where you own him at flamenco guitar playing

I had never heard of him before, but whatever music he makes, I respect his skills, like I respect Michael Angelo Batio's skills for example. Just cause I dont dig his music doesn't mean hes no good, the things he does in that video are just amazing. I watched a couple of Paco videos on youtube but I guess I couldn't find the really technical ones. The old man sure has alot of feeling and a great tone, but does anyone have a video of him going all out? i'd sure like to see him top Ben Woods.

Woah woah woah, easy there. I never said he was bad whatsoever. I think he is actually a very talented Flamenco guitar player. He actually has very very good right hand techinque. All i said that his bands musical style is ridiculous and not in a bad way at all. Have you listened to it yet. Its like Viking metal with Flamenco guitar. Paco de Lucia videos are kind of hard to find. I wouldn't compare these two together though because they both have extremely different styles. Lucia is more of a classical flamenco artist.

Also when i used to play guitar i owned a Dean, and actually traded a few e-mails with Michael Angelo Batio. He is suprisingly extremly humble and down to earth.

Ok, had misunderstood you

Yeah I found the comparison to Paco de Lucia a bit far fteched as well... He is indeed very classical, whereas Ben Woods obviously went deep into techniques and speed.

Batio rules On youtube I saw a video of him playing his double guitar on a small Dean guitars stage, he rocked! He even did the double guitar power pose, gave me a good laugh
