Extremely happy to share with you this new Course that I have been working on all November, is now out!! In this course, I'll be explaining all the 8 basic Techniques for Flamenco Guitar. It includes thorough explanations, with tips and basic exercises for each technique. Guitar Intro (00:00 - 00:22) General Intro (00:22 - 2:10) Tremolo Intro (2:10 - 5:38) How to Play Tremolo (5:38 - 7:20) Points for Tremolo (7:20 - 12:59) Exercise for Tremolo (12:59 - 21:37) Ending (21:27 - 22:02) This course is highly recommended for beginners, as it will guide you through all the basics that you'll need to get started. Intermediate levels are also welcome. If you need to brush up on your technique and make sure you are on the right track. Course includes a total of 8 videos, each regarding one technique. The duration of every video varies between 15-20 minutes long. Some are shorter and some go up to 28 minutes. I hope you like it, and I wish you a great December!! Holidays are around the corner! Take care, Luciano
Also, has the conde grown on you? It might just be this video but it seems to me that you've adjusted a bit to it/modified your technique/figured out how to get the best sound out of it
@@teok5665 I'm also curious how the patreon works. It's sounds a little stressful to pay for a course that you have to finish in a month. I'm not against paying monthly for continuous lesson material, but then it would be better to have all content available, not just the one topic.
Whoa... I was just doing research on his channel to see a specific video and I thought, wow, he hasn't posted any video for a while and all of a sudden it came up, thanks for one more video!!!!
I am working on my classical tremolo technique at the moment (2hours a day…). Long way, keeping stability up to 110 bpm, goal being 140-150 bpm…. In classical guitar, there is a « trick », we can play it also this way: thumb, middle-index-middle (see Ana Vidovic’s tutorials). The academic version being thumb, ring-middle-index. Very surprised to discover your flamenco version in quintuplets! I’ll definitely add into my practice routine! It sounds definitely more exotic! I’ll try it on the Recuerdos del Alhambra! Last but not least: metronome is your best friend to learn tremolo.
Excellently explained with a high dose of pedagogical approach! A small note: the vast majority of people will have trouble practicing tremolo when they have to switch from the first wire to the second and then to the third. It would be good to explain how to be precise and rhythmically accurate. All praise for your work !!!
Thank you Damir! That’s one of the reasons I chose this Exercise actually! I know it’s a little bit difficult but I think this would be a good start to practice exactly that. Als thanks for your feedback!
All this time I was wondering why thumb rest stroke feels so inconvenient to me! By watching your video I finally figured my hand placement was wrong as you mentioned in point no 6. You're truly an amazing guidance for me Many many thanks for the video and also the beautiful exercise, it sounds so soothing Take love, all the best...Cheers!
Awesome ! Brilliant ! Thank you very much for taking the time to teach us ! This shows the importance to learn from the expert because i have learned the order of the fingers wrong. Now i can start all over…
You deserve the most beautiful congs. 💐 You have realy something incredible different from others! The emotions that I have exactly return... You have something gifted from God, not only with trying so hard...Thank you so much! I wish I would take lessons from you. Maybe one day... 💐
Hi Luciano Ghosn.. Hope all is well 👍 This Tremolo* video of the Flamenco genre is quite unique and well demostrated with both diagramatically of vertical fret board* focus and finger to be fretted and avoided with "x" marking made it more a smooth kids level level of understanding.. 👏👌Excellent teacher's approach dude.. 👏Thanks so much also for a typical flamenco type of chordal progression using the open* strings in between and a descending melodic line bar by bar makes it quite enjoyable and a fullness felt towards the end.. 🤗Good job friend.. 👏 God bless🙏 Warm cheers.. 😊 *SEASONS GREETINGS*😘💐
I would like very much to learn the piece that you were playing in the beginning of this video! Something to strive for that is cool in between the training. I hope it is included in the course. Thanks!
Muchas gracias por tu excelente explicacion sin secretos y por el tiempo del ejercicio que dedicaste. Siempre ha sido mis suenos tocar bonito. excelente musico pero sobre todo profesor. Se necesitan mas profesores asi. saludos desde Australia
Perfect timing..! 'THE' FLAMENCO GUITAR-PLAYING BASICS - The foundational HOW-TOs and NUANCES, clearly explained, and demonstrated.. in crystal-clear and PRECISE ENGLISH. (🧏♂️..Just what I was looking for) 🍨 Thank you so much..!
Hi Luciano, that was a very good lesson. Thank you. Just a little observation though. Wasn't it easier and better to simply mention the name of the practice chords rather than numbering them? Or there was a valid reason I don't get as I'm a beginner. You are a gifted teacher and I wish you all the best. Your tutorial deserved every minutes of attention.
Thanks a lot Luciano for your advent gift! Great lesson! What a beautiful chord progression. Although I'm working 10 h per day during the week, Wednesday evening I picked up my guitar to learn these simple and amazing chords immediately. Kind regards
Hey friend! I’m a classically trained guitarist - received my bachelor’s degree in the US years ago now. I’ve fallen out of practice but I’ve always wanted to play flamenco and I really love your videos. I know you said this technique package was originally geared for kids, my question: would I still have much to gain from this collection or would you recommend I focus on a different lesson package you offer? Thanks!
Love that Hermanos sound. What were you planing for new courses? Something regarding chords, modes, scales? Also were you thinking of doing more tutorials of Vicente, Paco, Antonio...? Also if I want to practice tremolo with metronome, where would the starting beat be? Always on the thumb?
Thanks! I have another course on the way regarding all the chords you need, with all the different positions all over the fretboard and showing on all different keys! That one is so much work that I have to put it on hold now. I have finished 3 videos from it and I have 5 more to go. It’ll be the most interesting one. As for the metronome with Tremolo, yes. You have to have the first note always starting with the thumb at the same time with the beat. Cheers
Ola Luciano! EXCELLENT tu ejercicio de trémolo! y tu initiativa de curso ! J'espère que tu vas continuer à nous donner d'autres cours! J'apprécie beaucoup ton talent de guitariste flamenco! Tu fais partie des "genios de la guitara flamenca !" et j'aime aussi le fait que tu partages tes connaissances musicales ! A Quand un concert en FRANCE ? Chaque année courant septembre-octobre il y a "les internationales de la guitare à MONTPELLIER" et ce serait un grand plaisir de t'y retrouver! Hasta Luego ! Sincère amitié musicale!
Gracias Joseph! Estoy muy feliz de leer tus amables palabras, me alegro que hayas disfrutado del video. Espero que un día después de que publique mi disco puedo empezar a actuar adecuadamente, y sería un placer conocerte en persona, por supuesto. Un saludo!
Luciano ta réponse m'a fait beaucoup plaisir, elle m'a ouverte ton coeur généreux de partager avec un simple guitariste amateur autodidacte de la guitare classique depuis l'âge de mes 18 ans! Bien sur de par mes origines: mes parent et grands parents originaires de la la région de MURCIA, je sui un fils d'émigrés espagnols et j'ai en moi un ressenti énorme lorsque j'écoute des guitaristes flamenco comme toi! !....Paco de Lucia, Vicente Amigo, Antonio Rey,..etc...Esta musica es la que me an transmetido mis padres!....Para mas palabras !...mon email: cayuela_joseph@orange.fr !....Tu as beaucoup de talent en toi !....Hasta Luego de tus noticias !💕🤩 José CAYUELA
Hi Sir, I dont know how I found your chanel, but I am glad I found it. I have always played guitar with finger and I really like to play with fingers. My question to you is that often it is said that fingerstyle guitarist should not play with pinky finger. However, I play with all my fingers and with pinky on 1st string and rest for other strings, 5th and 6th with thumb. Is that totally wrong and should I change my technique amd leave pinky? I hope to get some clarity in this issue. Thank you.
Hola Luciano Your videos are great I’m trying to access the first of the eight lessons from your beginner/intermediate video Do I have to find you on Patreon in order to do that? The one on RU-vid starts on lesson 5 I would like to start from the beginning Hope you can enlighten me Thank you very much for your wonderful teaching and playing Sean
My ring finger right hand often hooks when doing tremolo and arpeggio. Do you have any advice on how I can cut, or file the nail so this doesn’t happen?
I would like to know the maker of the guitar you are playing. It sounds very good. Nice bass and well balanced overall. Other makers take note, fancy stripes and this and that take away from the beauty of a guitar. It is the wood used, the internals and the knowledge in the hands of the maker. You can copy plans, but that cannot be written down. The sound will captivate. Thanks Luciano.
My problem with tremolo is that is very soft, especially the 2nd and 3rd string against the basses. I try to play basses softer and high strings louder but always go back and feel like the melody is not heard well enough. Thanks for your work!!!
I've been playing electric guitar for a number of years (with a plectrum) what would be the first thing i should learn to take up flamenco guitar ? in other words, where do i start ?
Hey Paco, not because I want you to join my course but if you are interested in learning the techniques of flamenco of the right hand, this is literally what this course is all about. Keep in mind, I focused mainly on the right hand, so left hand are mostly basic things, but that’ll help you focus on your right hand. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers
For me, the hardest thing in the tremolo technique is playing on the 2nd string. It took me weeks to be able to play on the 1st string quite ok, but it's been years,and I still find my tremolo on the 2nd and 3rd strings awful.
He estado 2 horas escribiendo los subtítulos en Inglés para poder traducir a Español después pero no lo conseguí a finale.. Intentaré hacer algo en eso. Saludos!
Most guitarists play longer on the cheaper guitar. Sometimes it's just a release to not care too much how you treat the guitar. It usually puts a smile on your face, and sometimes it turns out the guitar is exceptional for the price (maybe $600 ish). Someone with an ear and good skill might find something in the $1k+ range and get close to a guitar that inspires. Sadly, any number of $400 to $2k guitars might get you there, or close. The ONLY fix from gasing is to have an expert, or guitar god you trust tell you personally, one on one, or at least in a believable video. I've heard some of the best live and in person from Mexico, and Arizona over the last 30 or so years. I don't even play Flamenco much. BUT, I do know you might find the value (and lasting enjoyment) is linked more to the playability and sound to your ear, especially if someone you know, like Paco De Lucia told you the guitar is good.
