Oh, com’on. The only thing that helps you become faster is training, training training. Even a monkey after a month of exercise understands that he has to minimize the movements. 2 minutes of platitudes. Ask you why this video is free, and give yourself an answer.

@@MassimoAngotzi Your comment is only partially correct. It's the mind and training that makes a better player. Training alone won't do it. Why do you suppose you or someone else gets to be a better player? It's because after you put the guitar down your brain takes what it's been exposed to in the practice session and works on solving the technical challenges. It's the mind along with practice that makes a better musician. Endless practice doesn't yield very much unless you mentally focus on specific things like hand and finger placement, etc.. You said; "Even a monkey after a month of exercise understands that he has to minimize the movement." No he doesn't, You could show a monkey how to play the guitar by demonstration and he still wouldn't be able to play after a hundred years. The mind is primary in everything, including guitar playing.

Sombrero? Gypsies don’t wear sombreros.

@@powbobs he is prob an american that has flamenco confused with cheesy western soundtracks that orientalize mexico. go figure

@@geompon6505 Yeah, most Americans equate Spanish with Mexico.

Why is it too late ?

@@jinojikitomo5065 Well, I don´t have enough time now because I spend a lot of time struggling to survive. I wish I have the passion that I had when I was 20 o 30. In my country, nobody wants ( Well, few people) to listen good music, but rap and perreo.

To get that high technic needs several hours of daily practicing

@@joselito22367 Thats sad to hear, the most important thing is to be happy with your guitar tho. I wish you the best!

Nah it's not about power but rather speed. Speed generates the power, trying to put force into each note and tensing your muscles will slow you down and can end up injuring yourself. Everything must be as relaxed as possible.

@@chrisbeaumont4630 but when i try to relax and just focus on speed, the note doesn't sound so good or even bright

@@chrisbeaumont4630 i even try people's advice to shorten my nails, it didn't do very well and my other fingers (ring and pinkie start to tense up)

@@absurdis13 you need time, this relaxed power comes with years of training. Trust the process.

you have no idea what you saying.. i does not matter wich finger strikes first.. i may be middle or index depending the context of the prhase or scale and wich finger is available..

@@shiroumxm2052 you know too little about it. I am a professional musician and have been playing picado for a very long time. Don't argue about what you don't know

@@mann2404 im a guitarrist, i sutied 5 year in national music school in México and tooka master with moraíto chico en Sevilla ! You seems not have an idea

@@shiroumxm2052 guy, paco de lucia, sabicas, grisha goryachev and etc play downbeat with middle finger. just watch their videos and don't write nonsense anymore
