Making Beats with a Spanish Flamenco Guitarist

[@DiegotheDon00]

We need part two with this guy. He’s been one of the most receptive to the production so far it seems. Tackle a RnB beat next maybe?

[@prodbyfrigus]

r&b would be crazy, Ocean make it happen!

[@imaginationman461]

Yea he definitely seems more into the music process and knows more about it. He wanted to fix his delay and asked for a louder metronome

[@wwg1992]

Flamingo guitarists they have a beat machine in their head from the get go

[@GringoXalapeno]

Maybe a soca batchata beat

[@adammmmmmmmmmmmm]

I think we need to appreciate the talent you need to have to be able to mix beats under the pressure of being in front of multiple people

[@DE3P_Beats]

what pressure lol it's better being with multiple people imo

[@adammmmmmmmmmmmm]

@@DE3P_Beats so you’re saying there’s more pressure when you’re alone?

[@DE3P_Beats]

@@adammmmmmmmmmmmm im saying it's more fun with others involved

[@adammmmmmmmmmmmm]

@@DE3P_Beats yeah but I’m saying you can’t really take your time, you gotta know your way around in order to work quickly. the other people can’t be there all day, so that’s where the pressure is for me

[@DE3P_Beats]

@@adammmmmmmmmmmmm That depends on the people and your skills though

[@aden4921]

love the fact the guy really got into the creative part shout out flamenco man

[@ruizramon]

Thanks! Ocean inspired me!

[@didjitale-d.r.m.p.]

i don' t know how many people realise the music knowledge and musical understanding that the guitarist has ...

[@GorgonDrageil]

He's very skilled

[@ruizramon]

Thanks! I was inspiring to play with Ocean and give flamenco a new dimension! Ramon Ruiz Flamenco

[@jajajajajajajai]

He is very bad

[@CptnConundrum]

@@jajajajajajajai You obviously don't play guitar

[@jajajajajajajai]

@@CptnConundrum I play better that this Guy hahahah

[@shxdow112]

ngl this studio is really aesthetic and i like it

[@prodbyocean]

Cheers bro

[@RealisGaming]

@@prodbyocean how about making this kind of video longer? I mean, showing us more than two beats, very cool series

[@shimri1st]

​@@prodbyocean please what mic 🎤 did you use to record the guitar? Wish you would reply

[@RocketLR]

Picasso?

[@thejaded]

That man was in flow state. 🙏🏿 His ability to vibe with a completely different style was heat

[@DizzyWho]

This guys attitude was fucking fantastic, I love the clap 👏 😍 he was actually feeling it.

[@ruizramon]

Thanks! Flamenco teaches you to clap because we are always clapping to dancers!

[@just_matt3937]

The best guests on your channel are those who like experimenting with new sounds and infusing other genres into their music. This guy was clearly one of them. I feel like I can also notice this just by the finished beat. In summary, these beats go hard 😂

[@chazhamasima3311]

WTF THIS GENTLEMAN IS A BEAST! The level of mastery in this video 😭

[@Yangariess]

ocean is one of the few that hire actual musicians to make content and dope music, love that man keep it up 🙏🏻❤️‍🔥

[@OficialOnda]

keep letting artists shape the beat together with you ocean ❤‍

[@user-ze3nl2kc2f]

Very proud to say, Ramon is my flamenco guitar teacher and he is amazing!! Hola Ramon, it's Sean "El Nino Del Grove"!!

[@cashsounds3704]

I like how it’s always a collaboration and he’ll let the guests add to the tracks in whatever way they’d like: chords, ideas, etc.

[@thebicycleman8062]

the flamenco artist is so resourceful, he basically provided him with: chord strumming picado melody lines chord stabs percussive percs claps in both muted and sharp - NOT MANY INSTRMENTS can be THIS COMPLETE - its like he took care of bass, lead, drums, and percs

[@deividtwelve2922]

This was the best musician you brought so far, Viva España y viva el flamenco🇪🇸👏‼️

[@xangarabana]

¡Viva!

[@Triyanox]

The new studio looks sick 🔥

[@walterdonkor7539]

The Guitarist is multi talented I will like to see a part two of this.

[@unknownmusic2175]

Ocean + Drill = Maserpiece every time

[@sebastianruiz4758]

That's Ramon Ruiz, Great flamenco guitarist!! would love to see more of him in your videos!

[@KrisMartinezMusic]

Need a part two with him. He was a vibe. Totally open to your production and he was able to adapt to what stylistically isn’t normal for him. I’m sure he can play any style you can think of as well.

[@jessebrown7124]

When the beats ocean makes goes against every musical muscle this guy even knew he has He’s wincing from the pain

[@gracogotit]

There’s really nothing that beats live collaboration, beautiful ✨

[@casmartin790]

This has hyped me so much, can't lie! I'm from London but I live a couple hours away from Seville now and I go to bare flamenco shows and trust me, they're sick! They're honestly some of the best guitarist you'll meet, serious. This fusion is sick, try get yourselves out here and come see a couple shows man, they're heavy 👍🏾

[@aytuggumusoglu]

This guitarist is feeling it man. A master

[@BornEternalAsoN]

i like this collaborator. he actually engaged in the production fr

[@papa_da_engineer]

This guy is awesome, so talented, Also has the best sounding clap I ever heard in my life 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@caresvlbdjz]

Because im sure he is from Seville, the home of flamenco

[@ruizramon]

Thanks 🙏👍. I’m from Granada 😊

[@dooasf]

as a flamenco player, this guy is an awesome master

[@ruizramon]

Thanks! 🙏

[@ogizbeats]

The Second beat is absolutely fire 🔥

[@spanishblueprints]

Phenomenal, I would’ve never thought of adding beats to a flamenco song. I also love seeing the process. Amazing to see you create music with a musician in real time.

[@KEYSBIH]

This shit is so fire plus dude is helping with the production this guy is awesome we need part two for sure

[@joseoperaparis]

OCEAN YOUARE A GENIUS I PLAY FLAMENCO FOR 5O YEARS AND WHAT YOU DO IIIIIIIS GREEEEEEEEEAT YOUR ARRANGEMENT THANK YOU

[@hoptoad5367]

This was sick, I love how into it the guitarist was, sharing about the claps and adding the crazy textures! More flamenco with him for sure!

[@justhostelthings2984]

That Perc that the Spanish guy added, hooooo. Hola Amigos! Don't overlook it. We gotta praise that

[@TheRussianGenius]

This insane! Fav vid of yours 🌊 gang

[@RealisGaming]

GOOOOD THAT'S WHAT WE NEEDED, NOW WE NEED A PROFESSIONAL ORGAN PLAYER

[@Zedzac59]

The beats are amazing bro the fact that you got a Spanish flamenco guitarist to Collab with u is crazy keep it up.

[@dubbylabby6068]

The problem isn't the volume of the click but the measure... Flamenco usually has /6 /12 measure with very particular accent related to "palos" (Alegrias, Bulerias, Seguirillas, Rumbas, Soleares... that could go even deeper with Soleá por Bulerías mixing part of one Palo into other). It's possible to adapt those rhythms into 4/4 with what's called "Amalgama" (translated into something like "amalgamation") with taking the "weirdest" part of the rhythm (weirdest in the good sense but hard to adapt into 4/4) and mix with other Palo accent or even directly rhythm. To put some light into this Gibberish... first of all think in 2 parts of the same /12 measure A6/12 B6/12 then check the accents and try to fit different A6/12 part from another Palo which has the similar accents to the Original B6/12... makes sense? Obviously if you understand these rhythmic patterns to a point you can "play" over there you can re-adapt those accents into your own amalgamas to fit regular 4/4 BoomBap style. Another problem is Flamenco comes from Singing later into Guitar later into Cajón (even Palmas were there from the very beginning AFAIK) and historically Guitar Player should be who follow the Singer (el Cante) instead opposite. I know... it's nuts but it how it goes... So usually the Flamenco Musicians (and Dancers) develop an inner clock based on knowing each other and play the same patterns on an on to a point any of them can anticipate (or swing late drop) those accents making it so rich and spontaneous but at the same time so hard to implement "as is" into electronic production. For the good luck of any reading until this point I will point (lol) some resources to understand all this gibberish. First of all (or the latest) search for Solo Los Solo - Retorno al Principio. You will find an amazing (and underrated) work on implementing Flamenco the right way into HipHop. Another interesting resource will be Triana - Abre la puerta niña where you will assist to a Flamenco Rock masterclass to see those patterns exported from the traditional Flamenco into Psicodelic Rock from the 70's and finally if you want to get mindblowed search for UHF Ultra High Flamenco "anything" to reach one of the most advanced musicians perfoming like Free Jazz with Flamenco Roots. There are a lot of other references such a Chano Dominguez (Flamenco Jazz), Lole y Manuel (Flamenco Rock), Enrique Moriente (Fusión), Pata Negra (Flamenco Rock) with Raimundo Amador (Guitar Player BB King's friend...) and so many more. I hope this helps others and please take it as a grain of salt not being myself and expert more than "aficionao" but with enough open mind and electronic HipHop producer background to point what in my humble opinion should be taught at Flamenco Fusión schools (if someone ask me) Paz, Amor y Alegría compareh!

[@dragontom1411]

9:04 when he realizes the camera is on him he starts bopping his head like ocean, lmao love rhe guy😂

[@saggybeats]
