Manitas de Plata passes

Manitas de Plata, gypsy guitarist, dies aged 93

His fingerwork amazed me.

I think this is from about ten years ago.

And I always thought you didn't like arpeggio shredders ...

Yngwie will feel vindicated.  :mrgreen:

Seriously, another loss for the classical guitar world after Paco de Lucia who died earlier this year but at a much younger age (66). 93 is darn respectable and hopefully he went nicely.
