Fandangos - It’s the most confusing bit in the Fandangos de Huelva, but there’s actually a pretty easy way to learn to. Feel it so you don’t have to count. #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #learnflamencoguitar #fandangosdehuelva
Bad nails -Does it really make a difference what kind of shape your nails are in? Sadly, the answer is yes - it really does. #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #💅🏽
Accenting Arpeggios - A practice pro tip you can use if you notice that your arpeggios aren’t quite as even as you’d like them to be. #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #arpeggios
Drop B tuning sounds amazing on the guitar. But what is it and how do we use it in flamenco? #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #dropB
Capo Trick - If you use a peg capo or a Dunlop, this little trick will help you stay in tune when you put the capo on #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #capo
Picado - Which Finger? Someone asked if it was important to be able to start on either finger (i or m). The short answer is yes. #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar
As if flamenco wasn’t confusing enough sometimes, it turns out there are two Palos called Rondeña, and they have almost nothing in common. #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #rondeña
The B Flat Major 7 chord comes from harmonizing the Phrygian scale. So why doesn’t it always sound good in flamenco? #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar
Stephen Hill Model 2 Blanca - Someone asked about the scoop in this guitar and how it works, so I thought I’d introduce you to one of my two favorite guitars. #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #stephenhill
Contratiempo Series Part 15: Cierre in Alegrías. A cool way to close a phrase or even finish your Alegrías that uses the contratiempo tricks we’ve been working on #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
Contratiempo Series Part 14: Chord progressions.Use the right-hand patterns and contratiempos with chord progressions beyond the simple E to B7 and back #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
Contratiempo Series Part 13: Combining right-hand patterns. Now we move from playing contratiempos as an exercise to using it in combination with other patterns, the way we do in real life #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
Contratiempo Series Part 12: Muted upstrokes. A super fun and traditional technique you’ve probably heard in Alegrias that involves muting just after each of those upstrokes #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
Contratiempo Series Part 11: Nothing on the downbeat. We look at playing the upstroke just after each accent instead of playing the accents at all #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
Contratiempo Series Part 10: Golpes for accents. The next step in learning to feel contratiempos in Alegrías is to get rid of that downstroke on the accent and replace it with accented golpes. #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
Contratiempo Series Part 9: Contratiempo in Alegrías. As we move on to looking at Contratiempo in 12’s, the first thing we need to do is make sure that our basic compás is solid #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
Contratiempo Series Part 8 :In the last part of our look at Contratiempo in tangos, we explore playing a downstroke on the upbeat. Sounds simple, and it can be, but it can also feel really weird at first #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
Contratiempo Series Part 7: We look at what it feels like to play the 8th note right after a strong accent, which feels quite different from an anticipation #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
Contratiempo Series Part 6: We look at anticipating the strong accents - so instead of resolving on the downbeat itself, we hit the 8th note right before it, while still keeping our time rock solid #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
Contratiempo Series Part 5: In Part 5 we take things a bit further by still only playing upbeats, but playing fewer of them while still keeping track of time. #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
Contratiempo Series Part 4: We push your contratiempo skills a bit farther to see if you can go four measures before hitting a downbeat. If you can do this, you’re on your way! #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
Contratiempo Series Part 3: We put our Contratiempo skills to use in the context of actually playing compás por Tangos #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
Contratiempo Series Part 2: We look at how to keep track of the beats and where you are in time even though you’re hardly playing any downbeats. #flamencoexplained #flamencoguitar #contratiempo
