Νice variations of main theme of the song. I would like to ask why it's 0:00 not clearly shown in the video, when you play with p (rest stroke) and - i especially on the cantini strings, is there some kind of hand support? eg. does the i always rest on the 1st string even before the string stroke? Or does the little finger rest on the cap? Thanks in advance.
Happy I clicked- we have similar thumbs - don't bend back as much as some players- and I was concerned about my hand position beng too high. This has been helpful. Thanks.
Lots of people was inspired to play guitar by this wonderful rumba. Hats off to you maestro! Here's my attempt to play this masterpiece: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cbIlNdoNAFw.html
The link to the tab is in the description below this video. All the right hand notes and chords strumming details are clearly written in the tab. For a detailed lesson on how to play the main strumming pattern, watch this video. "12 flamenco Rumba strumming patterns" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cdlj-oJ0N8w.html The main pattern I use in the song is pattern 7. The rasgueado pattern at the very end is a triplet rasguaeado. Watch this tutorial. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H59LTCd7SXk.html I also have have a turorial on Golpe (taps) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MnDPvtRLiD0.html I hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Sal, thanks for the breakdown and inspiration! 74 yo next mo and will be making my first attempt at learning a flamenco piece. Your teaching provides understanding and direction that gives inspiration. Subscribed and will watch and listen for more…greetings from Huntington Beach, CA
Thank you for your comments. I'll be 73 in December. Not far behind you. I Think It's great that you're playing flamenco. Greetings from Murray Bridge, South Australia.
Really, really good teaching. I particularly liked the way you count out out the 12 beats. I really liked the way you factor in the rasgueados and arpeggios INTO those beats. Explaining how a traditional falsetta is 12 beats broken into three parts was good too. And what a llamada is and how it's only 10 beats. Of course you mentioned that the cierre is only 10 beats too. You left out the golpes, which was a strategic decision. It was nice, but this stuff makes sense after at least a month's private tuition. Then you watch videos by teachers like this one, and a smile starts to appear. Understanding is a beautiful process.
The "Bent Thumb" comes from Tárrega. It's more accurate at picking out the notes with the thumb but weaker.....at least at first. So, maybe some guys started with Classical and Tárrega's technique before later starting Flamenco. (Or maybe, you know, using Tárrega's was more "snooty" being Classical and not so "Common" as Flamenco.)
Dir Sir , on time 14:20 it seems a hole diffreant way of doing the resgiado then teaching in this video , looks a lot faster this way , can you please teach how , or having a tutorial for that ?
This is called the abanico (fan) technique or triplet rasgueado. I have a tutorial video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H59LTCd7SXk.html There is also an older one here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r43WrKA6ppI.html I hope that helps.
I've been watching this video for at least 15 years and never commented. Sal....you're amazing. You'll never know what amount of memories you've given to me and my friends. I wasn't even the one who found you. But I'm soo happy that you came my way!
You sir, you are a relique. It's an amazing sight and very inspiring to see you doing something you love. That guitar is beautiful, an old friend I can tell.
