Clear Waters (Tangos de Malaga) - Ben Woods - Flamenco Guitar

You can learn this original piece "Clear Waters" here with TABS & NOTATIONS: benwoods.sellfy.store/p/clear...
Tangos de Malaga is a Flamenco song form originating from Malaga, Spain that can sound close to a Farruca, with the differences in the cante melodies that I outline here on guitar. It was fun to compose (originally for a dance choreography) and challenging to play! I use my alternail technique at the end to reach speeds I could not with traditional picado technique (forgive me).
The video was shot in Bellevue Washington overlooking the majestic Lake Sammamish. It is a good place to heal.

Ben thank you for all the beautiful music over the years. Your's was definitely a rare talent. RIP my brother

[@tomasocasiojr9748]

Thank you Ben for all your amazing music. You will be dearly missed. 🌺

[@OkanTandogan]

Whenever I come across Ben's videos I feel so sad, so sorry as I feel like it is so unfair...Such a talent, such a beautiful soul yet so humble leaving us so early..

[@johnnymonsters9717]

The pain you must have been in and still being able to perform this Bravo

Awesome man and what a beautiful location you got there! And those waters will stay clear as long as you don’t swim in them ;)

Very nice piece Ben smoothly played and enjoyed by all of us. 👏👏👏👌✌️

[@trevjr]

Great job Ben! I miss ya man, those good times in dance class. Thanks for inviting me in, I remember you share your art so freely, a sign of a real maestro. I watched all your videos you really play so well. I remember you have a certain kind of power even back then. Fond memories of the Flametal show in La Pena, my rocker friends were so impressed, I became their hero some how. It's Trevor from Berkeley by the way. Besos amigo.

[@BenjaminWoods]

Hey Trevor great to hear from you. Those were the days! Glad you liked it.

[@habsom1406]

[@danielsarigul6755]

@@BenjaminWoods No thank you! I've followed your work on here for a while and I am still in awe of such talent and expression. Whenever I'm feeling uninspired one or two of your videos and the guitar is where it belongs being played, not on the side idle. So thank you Ben and keep on rocking!

[@BertoBoyd]

So good!!! Those runs at the end were straight 🔥💪🏼. Also love the minor 9th harmonic at the end! Great job brother

[@BenjaminWoods]

Thank you so much brother. I know you understand exactly what it takes to try and hit the subtle characteristics in a palo like this, while most people just see it as Farruca.

[@carapungo]

@@BenjaminWoods Farruca on steroids for sure.

[@BertoBoyd]

@@BenjaminWoods I can see how some people can think it’s just a Farruca if they’ve never played for baile. Lots of guitarists w zero knowledge of accompanying

Bravo.
