He is a master.

[@AngelMusic777EA]

How nice it would be if you included his works in your repertoire maestro, you are a great guitarist. God bless you.

[@mannyr1709]

No joke. He played those pieces exactly as you can listen to them in his CDs! Amazing!!!

[@metrallofpv1722]

To be expected, it's called muscle-memory....

[@leonawdisho6609]

@@metrallofpv1722can you do it ?I hate when people don’t appreciate. We all know it’s muscle memory that’s not the point .

[@jiwaguitar]

That's because flamenco guitarists practice at least 4,5 hours more per day

[@Marco81blues]

@@jiwaguitar Lol, people have no idea what this guys put into this music.Yes they do practice 5 hours after they are reconised because more can even injure you, and its not good for mental health eather. But they started at a young age most of them liek 5 years old. By the time they reach 20 they have tens of thousands of hours of flamenco guitar. And then more thousands of hours playing for cante, baile etc.

[@ecogardenerhuertayjardin9913]

8 hours normalmente. I recomend u "manuel cerpa" and "amos lora" the new generation

I see the masters in him ... Paco , Vicente, Manolo .. his playing gives me hope that Flamenco will never die ..Ole Antonio

[@josealbertonavasmarquez4065]

No es tocar rapido,limpio,sonar bien.La diferencia es transmitir emociones como tú lo haces Antonio,eso se lleva dentro y el aficionado a la guitarra flamenca lo siente.Enhorabuena Antonio, un saludo desde Algeciras.

[@scottyhughes9179]

superb playing.... one of the finestt and emotional players today!!

[@juanmayu45]

Que capacidad para sentir y transmitir así. Que manera de interpretar este arte. Con la limpieza que suena y lo bonito de las falsetas que haces. Maravilloso Antonio, te felicito por el esfuerzo, la dedicación, la pasión y el respeto por este arte

[@RNicolasRuvalcaba]

One of my most cherished memories and experiences as a guitarist was sitting third row at this concert. What made the concert even more special was I arrived at GSI early and I was able to play that 2007 Manuel Reyes. I had no idea that Antonio would actually play it for the entire concert. Ultimately Antonio traded his 1998 Reyes for that 2007 Reyes. Not only did it make the concert really special for me because I played the guitar shortly before the concert started, but I'm pretty sure that I was the last person to play it before he acquired it..

[@encapsulatio]

What model exactly is he playing?

This is shear poetry straight from the heart plus an outstanding guitar that is indeed crying. He is juggling with these flamenco tricks as if they weighted nothin or close to nothing, must be doing it all his life...

No. There are many good guitar players out there. And each and every one of them is unique. It's a matter of taste and not a competition.

Ole to the maestro. he just seems to be in never ending flow when playing. thanks to GSI for hosting this. can we request that the audio of this concert be re-uploaded by reducing the reverb ? someone piled on too much reverb & its simply drowning out the notes instead of complimenting them.

[@ignaciogutierrezbarriuso6425]

Es algo indescriptible, no solo que toca sus propias falsetas, que yá se lo dijo Sabicas a Paco,, "No toques ni mis falsetas ni las de Niño Ricardo, toca las tuyas", sino la técnica limpia, depurada, sus picados galácticos, las Alzapúas para pelos, rasgados, todo, TODO lo hace magistral. Lo pongo junto a Riqueni, Amigo, Núñez entre los grandes. Sanlúcar, Serranito están fuera del lote, son Leyendas. Y Paco, bueno, no hace falta decir nada
