[@CHAMPDOGZ]

You are ahead of the game took me a few days to digest all this but im very new to scales and guitar overall

[@kennstedas]

Mindblown. Suddendly my stuff sounds Spanish! Thank you so much for your videos, I mainly learn plaing guitar from your videos. Started at zero and now I can play enough to just have fun!

[@Ba_A]

The Arabic melody that you hear when you played the Spanish has an explanation. There is a connection. Way back in the day Spain was almost entirely ruled by the Moors for over 700 years. Hence the Arabic influence is present in Spanish architecture, music, cuisine, as well with other cultural similarities.

[@AsifMehedi]

And, interestingly, the word "guitar" < Spanish guitarra < Arabic kītārah ≪ Greek kithára (dictionary.com)

[@tobim5574]

During the spread of Islam the muslims invaded southern ibera and eventually conquered the entire iberian peninsula. This is also true for all of North Africa, southern italy and southern france. Multible raids and conquests darkened the general skintone of the population trough years of population replacement. Spaniards are therefore a little darker than what they used to be.

[@TechoWeeds]

Lord Timmy i thought we r here for somw good music not for our ancestors history class -_-

[@adrianaperezz3351]

Ba A but before all of that there where the Romans who influenced the Spanish language and Arabic people influenced there music

[@coastalphriends4913]

OMG! As of Portuguese decent, I heard this growing up!

[@martin47g]

[@skaigreen5889]

So simple, yet amazing. Thanks! Finally I can get that Latina!

[@danielwilson2365]

I've been playing some Spanish riffs and chords for quite awhile and never really understood why it connected (through trial and error). This lesson really helped bring it to a higher level of understanding. Thanks and keep up the great lessons.

[@diamondbird743]

Very helpful. Was just searching around for a good flamenco lesson for my 9 year old and found this. He got it quick and inspired him to learn more Spanish guitar. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, I have learned more from you in this video than I have in years tyring to watch other flamenco videos. Please make more flamenco style videos in the future.

[@luistentindo6334]

Great video. You really seem to know your stuff. I don't know how to play yet, but I love Spanish guitar sound for many years. At last it's time to learn and get my hands connected with my heart, mind and soul.

[@blitzs619]

So awesome man. Hope you'll never stop uploading videos.

[@sabus.s6871]

I was searching throughout KZbin for something like this. At last I got a way ! Thanks

[@davidlane180]

Thanks for this. One of the first 'tunes' I learned on guitar was Malaguena, and I still use it today by segueing from it into Stairway . I wish I had studied this style more over the years and I've just had a very satisfying few hours 'doodling' with the essence of your tutorial. I didn't look at the tab, rather went by ear and mistakenly started with top e 5-4-1-0. This worked as well, so wondered how that fits in with the 'theory' (which after 40 odd years I'm now starting to study). Thanks again.

[@secondvisions9759]

Wow someone finally got me to understand the technique 🙌 Thanks brother

[@danielnajar5728]

Love the way u explain an show an tell.excited!! Thank u.

[@asapnomats5505]

Lol..🤣🤣

[@drTpat420]

I knew the chords but no clue that those 4 made up a spanish style scale

[@Crlpope]

Me too (:-} )

[@FuckYouTube1776]

[@Jadeddoxy]

Ayyy I'm ur 100th like Ik it's not important I just wanted to say that 💀

[@Mauitaoist]

Thanks for a great lesson I've been obsessed with harmonic minor scales lately I always love the E minor harmonic and A minor harmonic and never really realized it's a phrygian
