Left hand development exercise and right hand thumb technique 

You're a sage! Your teaching style is like an invitation to be consciously present in the moment and tune in to one's own feeling in order to unravel the essential reality of whatever microcosm is the focus of the lesson, while highly analytical and insightful at the same time. I appreciate the depth, breadth and realism. It is very rare to find such lucid educational material in general, so I'm very glad to have found this window into the vast, complex and nuanced reality of guitar playing and flamenco! Not only am I engaged throughout the videos, but they're packed with stuff I take with me to contemplate on later. Exceptional value. Big thanks!

One of the best teachers I've ever seen with a guitar. Invaluable advice.

The sound of your guitar really is powerful. I can compare it with my Alhambra model 7Fc that has a totally different sound. The secret of playing on guitars like these and yours is that when you are relaxed playing it, the guitar starts taking over your mindset. That's why people can get lost, feeling the burning fire within themselves when they start to play Flamenco like style. Love your work and reminders in this video 👍🏻👍🏻🙏

I used to teach all grades, and found that when I broke things down, with certain words, visuals, and even gestures, for emphasis ; my students could relate better, and learning was fun and successful.Thanks, Adam. I hope you tour Texas again. I live in the Austin area, and definitely would attend your concert.

Excellent work, The most difficult part of guitar coaching it’s explaining the feeling that you need to achieve, in order to Deliver results, Thank you for your dedication and attention to detail

Thank you So much for the video, it’s so helpful for a newbie !

The man is a genius player and a genius teacher. Bien primo!

Extremely useful!

My only regret is not finding you sooner , the beauty in your play is resinating , like an echo of love. Fantastic

Loving the metaphors, Adam: aliens come and kill everybody (what are you gonna do?), practicing in a trailer in Siberia while your roommate sleeps, falling asleep while driving with the sun in your eyes … priceless!

Please keep going with educating :) you inspired all those years ago I think for the flamenco and also classical guitar, you can teach so much :)

You`re the best! Thank you for your clases, your sense of humor, and the quality of the explanations and the techniques. Please continue doing videos like this! Greetings from Argentina!!

I appreciate your wisdom in remaining open minded to the various different ways that different guitarists physically approach the instrument. I too have seen fabulous players who definitely "deliver" with vastly different approaches, some of them rather unorthodox. Rules are sometimes great and other times must be broken.

Thank you so much

Thanks Adam, working on my LH more these days so this was right on time. Cheers. - Armen Movsesyan

Great advice by a world top guitarist. I really love your technique.The Altamira guitar sounds really amazing. I hope someday you can come to Guimarães International Guitar Festival. Congratulations

long time not see u maestro...

Hey Adam! Nice video! I'm in LA and I have a bunch of these left hand exercises. Would love to do a livestream with you to discuss.

please make a video on your theories!!!

what about the harmonizing the por arriba scale that you promise ? l'm still waiting for it master...please make a video for it l really need it..thanks a lot

I prefer to play with the guitar on my right leg - AND find it a bit difficult to move my RH position moving between the bridge for harder tone to the sound hole for the warmer expressions. Trying to find the balance without having to play in traditional ' classical ' seating.

HMMMMM .... I THINK I LOVE THE MONKEYTAIL IMAGE. Thanks, again.

¡Gracias! No sigo la explicación al detalle, pero la intuyo casi Saludos

Hi adam!! I love your lessons, you are very analyst about everything and you dont leave space for mistakes. I love this. Keep up the amazing job maestro! I also have a question for you because I trust you. During playing at nights I use a silent classical guitar. I am not sure that this guitar helps me to improve my skills. Is guite and I can play with passion but is totally different than a classical guitar with body. So do you thing that I have to stop studying with silent? Ehat is your opinion?

Fantastic, just wondering do you offer skype lesson?

תותח :)

At about 5:40, he talks about how training can go out the window when you actually have to perform. So true. As Mike Tyson said: "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

Monkey tail ... I won't ever forget that 🙈 Bet it will help me. Thanks for the fantastic tutorial.👏

Hello Adam, i have another question. Can you make a video about how to practice rasgueado? Because i have reached a certain plateau, and i struggle to develop the desired speed. Could you please help me? Looking forward to hear from you. Greetings.

Sehr hilfreich und witzig.

The explanation of the exercise (left hand) begins at minute 18. (This does not mean that the introduction is not interesting)

Same with the violin. . .individuality of technique . . .etc

De que luthier es esa guitarra?

great lesson - maybe pull-offs should be renamed pull-downs

Take me in as your PadaRon 😆

YES! I agree with the word "programing" rather than "practice". . .I have "practiced" my mistakes for too many years! I think I've practiced making booboos more than playing them right!

Yeah please add an affiliate link for the Altamira! Gracias...

Impose your will on your fingers indeed. Otherwise, you will have a dedocracia!

monkey tails.. did not see that one coming?

Thank goodness because I hate the Traditional Classical Way!!!
