Watch and enjoy. Al Di Meola, 21 years ago:

[ If you don't watch all the way through, you'll be missing some of the absolute best ... ever ]

[Stroopwafel]

Pfff... Easy enough...

 

When I hear Al Di Meola, I always remember his work with Paco De Lucia, which then reminds me of this:

I hadn't seen that. That's pretty hilarious.

I sincerely hope that is NOT the extent of your exposure to the very fine guitarist that Paco De Lucia is.

 

Consider, on a more serious note, Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin, and Paco De Lucia performing "Mediterranean Sundance" on Pavoratti and Friends.

And here they are ... 30 years ago!

I had the privilege of seeing John McLaughlin in concert at Symphony Hall ... probably 20+ years ago (time flies, eh?).

Chick Corea's "Spain."

If you're a serious affectionato, listen.

If you're not, listen.

Been meaning to check this out. Zakk Wylde made mention of this very concert not too long ago.

Funny thing is the only real exposure to Al I have had is from his guitar instruction video which I did not care too much for. Oh and his dopey PRS signautre guitar. Sorry I just don't care for it. Any way the dude does have some serious chops.
