Good progression.
And for those who don't like, Charo is the next room to the left.
When did Yanni change his name and why didn't anyone tell me?!
Over-produced. Would love to hear just the raw sexuality of the guitar.

Kind of like expecting a Filet Mignon and getting a hot dog. One of those really old hot dogs that nobody at the 7-11 wanted, so it just sat there and wrinkled up like a Miami dowager until you stumbled in drunk at three in the morning and bought it, even though your thoroughly drunk mind tried to prevent you but was overuled my your mad monk of a stomach, so you bought it and tried to scarf it down in your car, but just threw it out the window after a couple of fetid bites. Days later, you drive by and discover that it's still there on the side of the road because not even the seagulls would eat it - and seagulls will eat stuff that causes rats to run from the room holding their little rat hands over their mouths. I'll give it a 3 for false advertising.

This song is what you would hear in an elevator in Madrid.

Oh yes, please play that bad-ass guitar. Mmmmmmm. \\:D/
Stop fooling around and play Mason William's Classical Gas! This guy sells guitars on QVC.
"...and now here's your five-day local forecast..."
Sounds good. At the beginning I was not sure I would like this tune, but when I listened the solo, I'm knew that I'd find it great. Just too bad the overall music is a little bit kitch
A illustration of a skilled musician being able to blend two instrumental styles into a harmonious compositon.

awful.
Flamenco Surf!!!
hell of a guitar player... but it's flamenco, and the background music has a yawn factor of +10. Too bad.

This sounds like John Tesh to me. No that that's bad in my opinion. Just that much of the musical structure and riffs sound very similar to the way Tesh writes. The guitar work is very good.
no, that IS a bad thing.
but the flamenco gtr redeems it a bit, methinks.

Sorry you pointed that out, 'cause I have to agree. Still gave it an 8.
Reminds me of Classical Gas by Mason Williams ! Thats a good thing !
This track started very promissing, ...
Look up 'eclectic'
There shouldn't be any criteria for what gets played here. "Too shiny..."?
That's what eclectic is. If everyone liked it all, it would be pop.
Keep challenging us.
A rather enjoyable uplifting change of pace. :D

Very impressive spanish classical guitar work. A student of Segovia, huh? Man what a mentor to have!!!!!! 
I used to play classical guitar and some of you might find this boring, but I can tell you that classical guitar is an incredibly difficult instrument to master. Segovia is a legend.

I was thinking television theme song, myself. :(<Somewhat reminiscent of Acoustic Alchemy? Nice guitar work...
So is the occasional jazz / world piece allowable, Bill? 'Eclectic' is tricky to get a handle on :p
As soon as the elevator comes, I\'m off this floor. ;)
Too, "refined and sparkling", for RP ... WTF ?
I thought it was a great fit and gave it a 7

I\'d rather hear Classical Gas than this. :roll:
