Sweet flamenco guitar, i'm really digging this guy's work. When this guy plays quick parts (which he can) its so much part of the natural expression of the song, not some classical/progressive metal bs designed for people who can't look past a songs overwhelmingness to its real power, that is the wonderful power of music. Give these a listen.

You're absolutely right, it's a matter of taste - was it that you were sayin'?

By the way, does he play a Marshall or a Metro - or where am I here?

Well, you get my point...

I love Paco's work as much as I love f.e. Vai's work. Good metal is also designed BY people who know about the power of music. It's just different - and louder.
