\Well, uh, chord changes are the essence of Flamenco (chording compass). That's what gives it its structure.... Keeping compas is religion for Flamenco (in the rhythmic palos, of course...)
Whew! It wasn't me
The reason the guitar sounds the way it does is because he has effects on it (probably very mild distortion/compression and some reverb).
Or it is just a cheap tape recorder. By the time I made my second trip, cassette recorders had become available, but they all had automatic gain, which sounded great for Flamenco but we went crazy trying to get that effect live. It has only been in the past decade or so that the pickups on acoustic-electrics are good enough so one can add elements in the signal chain....
BTH, I just got a Yamaha THR-10C and a THR-5A (acoustic) which are the best solutions yet (for me) in small, portable amps yet. The effects are very, very good, and the dry sound is also excellent...
