After 6 months of Alzapua you'll probably feel like you're making some progress.

[@lapisredux]

and as an added bonus you,ll have a thumb like a walnut

[@insertclevernicknamehere7637]

Wtf i got a hang of it after 30 mins

[@mykimikimiky]

more than a feeling. just kidding. feeling only.

[@klaus2519]

I love when you give the alternative versions for the humble one's like me, and actually give us the chance to sound not like total shit❤

[@prajeetbhatt1018]

He should have million subs atleast

[@povilasl5383]

you should do a 20-30min video for each technique with slow demonstrations and a few exercises

[@jayweiner977]

R.I.P Ben .....

[@harrykeller335]

I keep seeing other videos starting to use the forearm a bit with the thumb acting as a pick and trying to figure out which is the best way?@BenWoods

[@shantiyajahanbani7549]

veri good

[@BenjaminWoods]

Thank you

[@jayweiner977]

Rip ben. Lessons are so good. So difficult to learn

[@peteranthonyofthefamilybir18]

Thank you Ben.. My Yamaha 172 arrives here in Mililani Hawai'i on the 17th of July ..can't wait to get going on a actual guitar, instead of practicing things just with my imagination. 👌 Love YOUR playing and these helpful vids. ~ Aloha

[@CarlJohnson-ff6yb]

Lol thats funny

[@bumblebeechris]

RIP ben

[@kevinkuziw6801]

Did you ever feel that your forearm gets sore practicing this for long 10 minute bursts when you were learning? I lift weights all the time but its the fast twitch muscle fibers that are activated, its different than what you would use while lifting something heavy. I guess its best to practice in short bursts than but more frequently. Im probably tensing up, perhaps these techniques are best to learn while slightly inebriated :).

[@BenjaminWoods]

Of course. It's a very tense technique, like a controlled spasm. Go lightly and take it easy. Dont hurt yourself.

[@kevinkuziw6801]

Sounds good, thanks. Great tutorials by the way.

[@mr.jayanto]

Nice

[@DuongTran-bq3wu]

Great

[@cogmission1]

Ben, I'm very serious about taking this up and making good progress (by "this" I mean all the techniques you've shown, not just "Alzapua"). What is the minimum hours a day I need to practice in order to be fluid with this in a few or more years? Please, thank you? (Hint: My "outside" goal to be "performable" is 10 years)

[@dragoncelso7747]

6 months 4 hours a day you should have been ass good as it gets

[@DarkMasterTV99]

40hrs. a day if you wanted to achieve a blastspeed hands and fingers

[@BEN-hl6yt]

Hey dude, it's been 5 years. How did it go?

[@cogmission1]

@@BEN-hl6yt you’re either gonna get reports of success, or a bunch of excuses, right? :-) I’m just gonna remain silent… lol

[@SoraThe1WingedAngel]

What advice do you have for someone trying to mix in a golpe with an alzapua?

[@jasonrojas2961]

Dr StrangeLove give up

[@encoreDi]

mind blowing sound if dnt know how to do that, can i learn that

[@bateriayguitarra5032]

Hola mi pregunta es como hacer alzapua si tocas la guitarra al reves es decir con las aguadas arriba y abajo las graves.Gracias

[@hatecrewsix2]

Eres zurdo así que cambia las cuerdas de posición

[@bateriayguitarra5032]

@@hatecrewsix2 Sí.Va para 2 años y medio que compre una para zurdos.Gracias

[@viniciuscardoso823]

This is basically that Thosin guy's technique: thumping

[@Bookendbooks]

00:13 😱

[@kamalrihani9609]

bonjour, cette technique est utilisée par la luth.

[@basicstrings8519]

Thanks but I have to do in detail 😂😅

[@kekez9426]

Is it ok that my finger gets numb? Is it cos im new to the technique or am i possibly doing something wrong

[@BenjaminWoods]

It not ok, Dude! Your finger should not get numb. If my way isn't right for your body, try another way: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJuloKCpjqmhkKM

[@kekez9426]

Ben Woods alright, thanks :) keep up the great work

[@edeath12]

...and nothing else matters

[@ysys9278]

so this technique only use thumb?

[@mrblok9482]

Ys Ys yes

[@ysys9278]

Thanks.

[@poursafar]

Alzapu legato

[@boggy6060]

I'm shittin myself trying to get this Alzapooa to sound right. :-( It's a stinker at the moment.

[@CesarSandoval024]

Viktor wooten pshh my ass... Tosin has some explaining to do

[@franciscovidal2098]

The alzapúa is only played in flamenco

[@fdyjt]

hmm to bad its not for beginners goes way to fast

[@BenjaminWoods]

As with any KZbin video, you can use the gear icon to slow any video down 75%, 50%, and even 25% without changing the pitch. Also, it's a video, so if you missed something, feel free to watch it again. These are the reasons I dont go slow with my instruction. Also, not everyone is a beginner.

[@fdyjt]

@@BenjaminWoods hahah ok relax dont get angry 😀 i know i can slow the video down but i mean you change songs and techniques fast.tjx for the responce anyway cheerz
