I am having problems growing my fingernails and this could be the answer. Can you also use the down stroke in playing classical tremolo?
Thanks!
i wish i had tips like this when i first started playing flamenco. my students will certainly benefit from your fantastic advice.
Wow this is so awesome!
Thank you for these wonderful and helpful tips!
Hi miniocurro, I’ve got a question.
I have problems in descending the scale. When I play for example A on the first string 5th fret with m and then I want to play G on the 2nd string 8th fret with i, well m is kinda muting the string (G note) when I get to play it with i
Am I clear enough ?
Thank you in advance
i can’t grow my nails out bcus i climb but i can get the sound thank god..
No, it’s done with the usual side of the nail. I meant that you have to step on the string before releasing.
So by pushing the string down, you mean you play with the back of your finger? (the part that shows the nail)
grisha* sorry!
That is pretty fantastic work brisha why r u hiding ur pretty face dont u ever reckon that someone would never like u. u r awesome!
Wish u can teach us “Malaguena by sabicas” u played>> PLEASE!
Tabs or whatever!!
Really? Personally I find “speed metal” simple, because I’m primarily a metal guitarist. But, I struggle a LOT at flamenco and all that, because I’m used to playing with a pick etc. So it probably depends on the person really
It is fascinating to get the Flamenco perspective. Although I find some flamenco players to be rather arrogant when it comes to the topic of technique, the following video seems to be more open minded than most I have encountered. I like flamenco music but sometimes its players act as if it is the only music. There seems to be a built in inflexibility about method that classical players like me find amusing. There is only one way! Ha. I learn something new from every musician I meet.
no.
its hard, but its very very fun.
and with a small learning, you have a lot of fun
and there are simple flamenco things to learn, not all flamenco compositions are like the ones that this guy plays, because this guy is a real genius!!
0:46 entre dos aguas
que pena q no le entiendo una mierda en ingles..
“his middle and index fingers are nearly the same length”, it’s not so, look at 1:28; same length as most people. This guy has worked hard to attain his speed and has no ‘natural advantage’. Best player/teacher I’ve seen on YT.
Huge respect mininocurro!
it is unbeliveble thank you to share with us.
I play all kinds of guitar styles, and styles like Flamenco, speed metal, and some jazz with very weird chords, all seem like the toughest styles.
I don’t like speed metal, so of the styles I like, I’d say Flamenco is the toughest.
Is flamenco the toughest guitar style to learn?
I have my i fingernail longer than the m and it certainly helps considerably.
fantastic point. it attracted my attention, too. it has to be an advantage from nature. dont know hot to do that. maybe it ca be a way to keep the index fingernail longer than the middle one to adjust them to the same size. i got completely stuck on this subject.
awasome thanks
Grisha ..you are the only one whom his picado is close to Paco de lucia’s one..thank you so much for sharing
The speed and clarity that this guy has is incredible. One thing I noticed (see 1:16 ) is that his middle and index fingers are nearly the same length which means they will have a very equal action as they alternate. Most peoples i fingers are quite a bit shorter that the m, which means the m curls more and presents more resistance to the string that the i, and this limits the speed.
he sounds like xerces from 300!! hahaha
