Hailed as “a fantastic flamenco guitarist” (BBC Radio 3) and honoured as a First Category prizewinner in the 2023 Manhattan International Music Competition, Samuel Moore is fast establishing himself as one of the leading flamenco musicians of his generation. Since 2007 he has performed in venues across the UK, Europe, and North America. Solo performance highlights include New York’s Carnegie Hall and Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London.
When not on tour or recording, Samuel enjoys passing on his musical knowledge through teaching. He is the author of the ‘Flamenco Guitar Compás Essentials’ book series and teaches private students each week via his online music school.
Samuel learnt his craft as a one-to-one student of the world-renowned flamenco guitarist’s Juan Martín and Grisha Goryachev. He has also attended workshops led by Paco Peña and Dennis Koster. Samuel is an alumnus of Leeds Conservatoire, class of 2013.
Admire your music and your style but what an uninspiring interview...was hoping to hear you like guitarists from other genres like Jeff Beck, David Gilmour etc...
Funny that she should mention John Gomm at the top. Not a name that everyone knows. Before she came up with a name, I thought of the range of guitarists I've been impressed with, and Jon Gomm's name sprung to mind first. I haven't even heard him or thought of him for quite a while, but he certainly is an influence. No one like him.
Interesting I would have picked the cello or piano. I can play a few simple pieces on piano. But I’ve only held a cello in my hands once years ago. Didn’t even attempt to play something. Silly me.
@Laura Snowden: I don't know how to put this the right way but...... what a beautiful person you are, not only by your looks but your youthful spontainity (is that correct English?) and artistic intelligence makes a deep impression on me. 🤗
Waw quelle discussion passionnante que j'ai suivie captivé avec la plus grande attention, interview tant exhaustive qu'intarissable, c'est quelque chose que d'interroger et tenter de répondre si justement aux choses par une telle lucidité vibrante ! CQFD Merci bien à vous deux, c'est héroïque ! (Au risque d'être maladroit : parce que je n'adhère pourtant pas encore musicalement à son esthétique artistique, et avec ma vision naïve et incorrigible d'évolution positive, "not yet" sans idéalisme stérile ou perfectionnisme froid, avec ce grand potentiel tant réflexif que sensible qu'a Laura, je suis convaincu que le meilleur dans sa musique reste à venir, et que ce sera pondu !)
you look like Oi! skinhead playing flamenco. great style, man, let's don't let only long haired guys with rings and chains to be a part of flamenco culture ;-)
Good teaching. Why can't every guitar teacher on RU-vid teach like this? It's one thing to learn melody and notes but avoiding rhythm is a big mistake.
Thank you! Really pleased that you are enjoying my content and 100% agree. Rhythm is the bedrock of good flamenco playing and needs much more focus than falsetas. I hope you enjoy my other videos.
Thank you. You are most welcome. Regarding Amazon, I never like to work through them as I've always felt that they take a very large cut for doing very little. As such, I prefer to keep everything in house via my own website.
