Flamenco is not about music only, it is a culture involves in not only singing and dancing but also it is history.
I like the music of John Gilliat’s, but, It is not quite possible to adapt his music into the flamenco culture. He has his own style and it is excellent and I don’t reckon it is needed to be spliced to the concept of flamenco necessarily.
We may make culture without destroying or “adultrating” the other.
Brillante!!! Like it!! The problem with purists is that they never have a video of their own. No need to seel your soul to the devil, pledge it to God instead. Pa’lante hermanos!!
all the critics seem to have an opinion. luckily for us, they’re not the ones out there making gorgeous music. don’t be too busy fitting things into boxes to realize when a new style is emerging, oh weary public.
this is absurd. i’m bothered by these ‘purists’ who claim a rigid, structured flamenco style in the traditional manner is the only way to play, and anyone who ventures outside of it and injects aspects of other manners of playing and other musical styles are producing watered-down bastardizations of flamenco music. if that is the case, then flamenco itself is no better, as the style was made from a fusion of musical traditions from european, west asian, and north african cultures.
lol, so many people would want to sell their soul to the devil that you would have to wait in line until your turn comes.
dont need to….. with discipline, a lot of studying, and practice practice practice practice practice…. excellent luck
I would sell my soul to the devil to play as he does
u sound so excellent
I don’t know your criticisms. It is what it is, modern style improvised rumba flamenco. It doesn’t have to be in traditional format does it? And so what if he uses a pick and plays away from the somewhat tired and flogged-to-death scales and patterns associated with flamenco. It’s cool to inject something fresh into the genre and I don’t reckon it is his intention to play like Paco – play like yourself John and keep up the excellent work!

brilliant guitar player….purists may nit pick, but i don’t see their videos here?
The sound is so wimpy because his technique isn;t very well developed without a pick yet, but something bothers me deeply about this style of trying to play flamenco – it is what simple listening jazz in supermarkets/lifts is to jazz..rather wimpy as a result and the scales are not really flamenco alot of the time..take constructive criticism John – thats the only way you learn..
why is the sound so whimpy? pickup issue?
Very well played!
merci jgilliat pour ses superbe video encore je te remercie c du top fantastic
