Fanou Torrancita live concert
Buco
NOVA, DCDeity Ivanovski maple/spruce
With Benji and William, does it get better when it comes to the rhythm section? Edouard Pennes recorded and mixed so you know it can hardly sound any better.
Look at Fanou's left hand. It's so loose, it's barely holding onto the fretboard. That's the key to the relaxed right hand.

this is really good.
Was there a Pat Metheny song in there? There was a sort of modern piece towards the beginning. (I downloaded it and have my internet blocked at the moment).
He did some crazy chord voicing thing that made me LOL. He's the real deal.
I also appreciate him opening up Gypsy Jazz guitar for the gingerish crowd. Making a safe space.
Not sure, it would be cool if he played a Metheny song. I'll have to listen again. Do you have a time stamp? I'm listening casually when I have time, I'm still not through with it.
I love voicings he's using too, it sounds so fluid.
It's the thing around 16:00. I can't say for sure it's PM but it sounds like it.

I don't know Pat M music that well. I tried to get into his stuff a couple of times, wasn't hooked. On the first listen that sounded like his original but I wouldn't know really.
Saw this video and wanted to put it somewhere. Ron Carter wisdom; "once the string makes a contact, that's all you're ever going to get", I love that. It applies to the guitar players all the same. And it's the real reason I posted this concert. I've been retraining myself to do just that.
Later that next year...it's the piece he played on your guitar when you were over there, right?
@Buco Thanks for reposting this, really great. It's nice to hear/see this music not being played at constant blistering speeds...& I admit maybe that comes from my lack of chops but still I enjoy that. :) Such a great player.
yeah! It was kinda cool because I heard that piece and liked it but didn't realize he wrote it but I just asked him to play something and he played that. It's a pretty tight piece of composition. He is a really impressive musician.
That is really, really cool that it came sort of full circle, @paulmcevoy75
& I admit maybe that comes from my lack of chops
You're welcome, @Mondoslug , lack of chops...get outta here
But it's nice see you're keeping it healthy and human.
When I went to the class with Fanou, he said if he wants to perform really, really well on a song, make it his showcase, he'll practice it for 3-4 months. I was thinking "aha, that's your secret!", haha. He continued saying something else, and I kinda stopped him to say "I'm sorry for stopping you, but did I just hear you say you'll practice playing over the same song for 3-4 months?" He looks at me... pause...yes. Ha! He's also just the nicest person to be around, very warm personality.
