Malagueña - Flamenco Guitar - Ben Woods

- My arrangement of Malagueña on my signature Flamenco guitar, made in Spain.
Learn it here: sellfy.com/p/vaBa/#
This popular theme originally written by Cuban pianist Ernesto Lecuona has been interpreted many times by many guitarists. For my arrangement, I put together material from Sabicas and of my own. The guitar I'm playing is the Ben Woods Signature Model by Ortega Guitars (BWSM), a Flamenco negra with many modern upgrades and a custom size. It's an amazing instrument available with another version (BWSM2) and 2 more of my signature guitars at Guitar Centers in USA and Thomann Music in Europe. www.ortegaguitars.com
This familiar melodic theme is possibly the most iconic Flamenco Guitar melody known to the general public. What can be confusing is that there is also an authentic Flamenco song form called the Malagueñas palo, hailing from Malaga that is based off the cante jondo "deep Flamenco singing". It is either played as a guitar solo piece or accompanying a singer, which is also very beautiful but the melodic themes are completely different.
'Alternail' technique here is evident as an alternative to picado in some places with fast runs. Alternail is just my term for using the index nail like a pick. I've always played these runs with picado, but now I find using alternail creates less stress for my hands and mind.
This Ortega Guitars video is part of a series of videos shot with Ortega Guitars, by BTC Media at Gnome Studios in Nashville, TN 2018

After 3 years of practice?
@@osman01003 he still in the same moment 😭
@@osman01003 this technique takes years to practice.
im a very dedicated competitive player, and you can for fun
look up cs 1.6 bhop by topovyigus for example. i also
play guitar since almost 20 years, with big breaks in between.
last few years im focusing on ewan dobson songs, and
the mechanics, and techniques require to learn are crazy.
every part has its own rythm, and flow, feel. i think this is why
i also come here often, and listen to this song! very dynamic,
and the techniques are interesting to just observe with my
eagle eyes.
I know what you're talking about...
I love Rock and I play electric guitar but I'm UNABLE to play properly classical Spanish guitar tunes. That's beyond average guitar enthusiasts like me.
@Squatch84 lmao. Lame excuses...
you can do anything with pure *dedication* and hardwork in whatever time you want
I heard that this man died of cancer. May such a talented Musician rest in peace, and may we be thankful we have such a profound piece of his legacy with us today.
my guitar said : "we don't do that here"
I look at my guitar and actually say that lmao
Thats gold right there
If you do this to your guitar, it will love you forever

I am actually mad about the fact that my guitar can make those sounds, but never does.

My wife and I were fortunate enough to sit a few feet away as Ben performed in Bozeman, Montana several years ago. I felt blessed to have been able to see him live, but in light of his untimely passing I feel even moreso. RIP Ben. You made me a better player and I will dedicate my next live performance to you. :(
I deleted the original comment so the replies make's no sense
Well plus it has that whole "melodic structure" thing going for it.
yes and they were doing it before it was cool
and also using the Phrygian dominant mode
Esto NO es flamenco.
this is in the spirit of flamenco but its not flamenco. flamenco has its own rhythmic structures "palos" and as ben explained even the there is a palo called malagueña its totaly different than what americans think of. beautiful video and incredible playing, top notch, but if you want to see flamenco look up moraíto chico or diego de amparo. you'll see theres more rhythmic play
0:19 I straight up thought he was gonna start playing Kalinka

I just read that Ben Woods has passed away. Always sad to hear a brilliant musician is gone.
Most impressive. My father, Caio Domingues, who was Brazilian, had one of the biggest collections of Flamenco music in Brazil, about 1,500 LPs and coutless rolls of magnetic tape he played in his Revox reel-to-reel. For the last 25 or 30 years of his life, he went to a Flamenco festival in Cordoba, Spain in the month of May, where he amassed most of his records. He also became personal friends with the legendary dancer Antonio Ruiz Soler, who dined in our home every year in the 1960's when he toured with his troupe and came to Rio, where we lived. Back then, as a small child, I had no idea how important he was, despite attending every presentation of his at the Municipal Theater in Rio, the fanciest concert hall in the ciuntry back then, I only knew he and I were born on the same day of the year, November 4.
what does that have to do with anything?
I dare you to play a harder song than this, it’s called “Chicken in the Corn.”
Ahhh another man of great quality

RIP maestro
Best version of Malagueña ever recorded in human history.
Flamenco the 'Heavy Metal' of classical guitar!
Well at least in classical music heavy metal was called Barroque
@Duck Some Vivadi compositions would perfectly fit as a distorted guitar solo, there's even a metal subgenre called neoclassical metal. Apart from baroque some Mozart compositions such as Dies Irae sound very metal
@Duck Take a look at Malmsteen
@Duck I'm not into Corey Taylor to be honest, althought I like metal that deals with anger, most of my free time I'm listening to neoclassical, folk and Symphonic Metal
well according to the 1700s spain this is already rock and roll that must be supressed
You are reminding me my father. 1st you just looking like him but 2nd he showed me that video. He was playing guitar more than 20 years. My dad passed away few months ago, he was 48yo. Greetings from Poland to you my friend.

He is playing an electric guitar. A real flamenco is so loud you do not need it plugged in.
Of course he wont see this...because he passed away before your comment... R.i.p...
I am Spanish and those guitar notes touch my heart.
I bet he can’t play smoke on the water on the E string
So underrated

Too hard for that guy, give him something easier like asturias or something
That would be way too hard, impossible.

I have listened to this song more than anyone should, because I can't get enough of it. Rest in Peace Master Ben Woods.
Few years ago had the opportunity to see the amazing Ben Woods with his band Flametal supporting Uli Roth and Tony McAlpine at the Metro in Oakland CA. Further, Jason Becker was in attendance. I just learned that Ben had been battling cancer and passed. May God watch over his family and friends. Thanks Ben for sharing your talent.
This is like one big intro to a song that never starts.
Yeah its called instrumental music. Weird isnt it
I think of it more like a song that is all grand finale
Well, it's the sixth part of an entire suite.

Hey Ben ! I'm from IRAN and i use a Vpn proxy to break the censorship and can see your videos... I love your flametal works. I think that it needs a very good knowledge of both styles and you did it very well in "Heavy melow" album...
I think that you merit a tribune better than the youtube.
Thank you and good for you! Information and entertainment should never be censored.
Fuck all the governments that forbid their citizen to enjoy music! Have you ever listened to Armik, by the way? One of the best composers and guitarists IMO in genre of Nuevo Flamenco (I literally grew up on his music) - he was born in Iran and had to leave his motherland because of that damned islamic revolution, as the music he liked to perform had become forbidden there.

Ben, I've played guitar my whole life. This is the best video I've seen. Outstanding. The last time I felt this way was when my guitar teacher used to play when I was just a kid and I was in awe like it was magic. Since I've learned guitar and know it's all about practise and not so much magic (well maybe a little bit of magic), a lot doesn't impress me like it used to. This should have a billion views Lmao

This got to be one of the best pieces I’ve ever heard in my life. So menacing, romantic and expressive.

I am listen to this music every week. Ben woods your style is impressive. There are a lot of tecnics tha i never see or use in my life. I'm in love with flamenco! Thank you!

I played it over and over again..and I drifted away.. this fingerstyle is another dimension..it's amazing.
REST IN PEACE Ben woods ,you will be missed 😢
Coming from a person with 0 musical background (me), this dude sounds like he’s 3 people playing 3 guitars all at once
That's the case with flamenco most of the times. Thanks to the fingerpicking you can pick the base notes with your thumb while doing picado or strumming with your other fingers at the same thing
"Arpeggio"
This is probably the most faithful flemenco interpretation to the original on youtube. Gives master pianist a run for their money. Absolutely awesome.
Che piacere 😊

Grazie maestro🙏😊
No sabía que el autor de este vídeo había muerto. Descanse en Paz. Espero que esté tocando la guitarra allá donde esté.
One of the best Malagueña version I’ve ever hear . He has master it with his own fingers style play give it more lively , more soulful.
True many guitarist have interpreted Malagueña but it was not a guitar song to begin with. Ernesto Lecuona a Cuban jazz pianist originally composed this song. Very few people know this and very few guitarists play it how Ernesto Lecuona wrote it.
Excellent job Ben!
commonly mistaken with asturias leyenda
Also, many of Albeniz's pieces ,originally for piano, sound best on guitar. Almost as if they were composed with guitar in mind.
Michael Battista the moog Transcription that is based on the original piano version is so good my dad and I based our versions off the piano and moog one. Pepe Romero did it great tho
Pretty sure Andre Segovia had a bit of influence in Malaguena
ya boy You tried to hide but failed... and why don’t you and your dad post up a video of your “guitar greatness” instead of downplaying others abilities. If you’re so great let’s see a video of it until then you’re just running your mouth behind the safety of your keyboard.I dare you to post up anything on your no content troll CZcams channel. Actually use that channel for something rather than trolling people and post up something.That way,you’ll prove me wrong and get the last laugh instead of me getting all the laughs at your expense because I’m right and you know it.
My piano student is playing an easy arrangement of this song, but I asked that he watch a Flamenco guitarist to hear the magic of this song. Love this arrangement and your playing is incredible. BRAVO!
