I was checking out guitar clips on YT the other night and found this clip for the song Mediterranean Sundance. I had heard lots about the individual accomplishments of Paco de Lucia, Al Di Meola, and John McLaughlin, and also heard some of their collaborations. This clip here is a beautiful song and all, but to me this is overkill on the solos. Each guitarist just seems to be trying to out-gun the others with speed or complexity. Don't get me wrong-these guys are great guitarists, and granted, this event and others like it are to showcase the guitarist's talents. I guess I am the "weirdo"with this opinion here-comments on Youtube for this clip did not contain one comment with the same feelings I had about it.
What do you think? I am posting the three guitarists together for this song, and then individually to contrast and compare. (I like the individual stuff way better than the "supertrio" types of clips!)To be honest with you, I have to say that I like Al Di Meola's stuff the least-individual and when collaborating with other guitarists.

The ritalin trio is great. Pity though that not one of them even played a single harmonic.
