Al Di Meola has done excellent spanish guitar work, as well as his unique jazz and and electric guitar work.

Do you know "El Amor Brujo," by Manuel de Falla?
No I don't. There is much I don't. But I know what I like!

JK666,
Yes, Al Di Meola is a great player. I have a lot of his music and enjoy it, but I have to say he is pretty much outclassed by Paco De Lucia, which of course is nothing to be ashamed of. Being on the same platform as De Lucia is enough of a recommendation it itself.
Watch this clip, you will see what I mean. De Lucia is more a phenomena that a guitar player!

HS,
I enjoyed seeing that clip again.
I enjoyed that three of the world's guitar virtuosos could get together and co-mingle their talents in that concert. I didn't mention Al Di Meola on this thread to say that he is the "best of the best," just that he is one of the higher echelon. The song was beautiful, as all of the three guitarists had respect for the other's talents. There was a mutual give and take, without any of them demanding greater prominence. They respected each other, and shared in the enhancement of this musical work.
