Haha…. many many years ago when I used to live in Madrid I had a gig in a small bar. A student of mine came to see me with a bunch of friends of his, they were all heavy-metal guys. I was surprised to see them there I was more surprised that they loved hearing Bach the most as well as the flamenco.

[@CalvinMagnusMusic]

@@adamdelmonteguitarist lol what a great story! And yes, most musicians on the Metal world tend to have nothing but respect and admiration for the classic composers such as Bach, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Mozart and other styles too... After all, they laid the foundations for almost everything else, Metal included, and also if we really think about it, they are kinda the original "metal guys" of their time by the way they lived and made an impression on society :) love your content man, you're amazing. Keep it up! \m/

[@rexjamerson9316]

The tone on that guitar is absolutely incredible! I was living in the LA area in the '70s and I walked into a music store near Sunset Boulevard and there was a younger guy sitting on a bar stool playing the most incredible guitar music I had ever heard in my life. Flamenco of course! It was my introduction to that style of music. That individual's name was Gino D Auri. If memory serves me correctly, he studied five years at the Rome Conservatory of Music. Went to see him play on stage at the Matador in West LA and I was hooked on Flamenco music. And the dancing of course. Wanted to learn Flamenco more than anything, but due to a pretty serious injury was not able to complete that goal. Thank you for the information. Am also a huge fan of Paco de Lucia. So sad that he is no longer with us.

I started flamenco guitar ... last week (also strum some oud and sitar which led me to flamenco), knew about the phrygian scale but also found that 2 other notes would "also be at their place" in that scale. Now, thanks to you I know why ... (G flat and D flat) ! Phil. (Belgium)

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

you mean D# and G#…😇

[@jessicarombach1445]

@@adamdelmonteguitarist yes, of course. As a French speaking European I am not so familiar with sharp and flat (we use dièse and bémol ..). Another question. Do you find all the 9 notes you mentioned in the same "song" or does the use of D# and G# depend on something particular?

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

@@jessicarombach1445 The short answer would be, yes! However, in a "song" or cante flamenco, or even an instrumental piece, those 9 notes - I see them as fundamental to the raw material of the melodies coming out of the tradition. In any given cante or toque, (guitar playing) if you find a beautiful way to use other note of the chromatic scale as passing notes that resolve in a way that is satisfying, then that works too, but I would consider it part of a more expansive thinking, rather than just playing it safe only within the 9 note scale. Of course that is the best point of departure.

[@bozak6026]

Incredible player, incredible teacher, incredible lesson.

[@GlennFiddles]

I've always felt that much of flamenco's melodic tendencies are more naturally explained by maqam theory rather than the western notions of scale + its derived functional harmony. When I hear flamenco phrases, I clearly hear the movement between the core ajnas of Hijaz, Kurd, Nahawand, Hijazkar, and Ajam or Rast (with all the normal microtones adjusted up or down to the 12 equal tempered frets of the guitar). In the maqam rather than scale concept, we can visit all these melodic zones without issue and so we get something more melodically complex than a fixed 7 note scale. So I see the 9 note scale you discuss as simply a kind of maqam kurd that often briefly modulates to Hijaz or Hijazkar for cadential purposes. Still, a great video to explore the complexities of the music with respect to Western theory. And that guitar sounds fantastic.

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

Thanks for your insights🪬

[@monkeyrater]

Ive bought 5 books on arabic maqams on Amazon and none of those books come even close to explaining how maqams even function compared to what you say in your comment here. What bothers me about maqam books is that they teach the maqams relative too the diatonic scale. Im wondering if you can tell me how you learn the maqams in isolation without referring to the western diatonic scale.

[@cadizce]

Amazing explanation! looking forward to more videos, gracias!

Excellent explication of theory and beautiful demonstrations of guitar playing! I've taken a lot of lessons and theory classes since I was 13 in '69, and this has got to be in the top five. The way you make it all accessible, even bringing in jazz and classical theory and making Them accessible, is wonderful! Also wonderful is the casual crispness of your falsetas and rasgado, and then the gentle sweetness of the resolution to the C chord around 7:00. So tender!

[@credenza1]

That C resolution was exquisite.

[@TheHesseJames]

I already knew of the nine notes but being raised under the Western music regime your explanation built the bridge to what I would call the E Flamenco scale and now I know much better how and why this scale works. Lucky Spaniards who grow up with this and don’t need all those rationalizations!

[@elliotthall5543]

This was outstanding. Understandable, and approachable, yet technical. I picked up my guitar fairly quickly after the beginning. Got it right way and then started working on chords and harmonies. I think a guitar veginner should probably diagram the scale so they can learn it's firm, but once more advanced they will HEAR it. I could always hear it but would find it accidentally. And if anyone thinks this isn't rock or blues, I present you Hotel California. You may have heard of it. Very goid video. Thank you, sir.

[@Web4Panama]

Thanks. That is a wonderful lesson. I have been thinking of it as the Byzantine scale and then add the flattened 7th and 3rd to include the phrygian. I became aware that the notes of the Byzantine scale are all accounted for if you play a major 7th arpeggio and then a second major 7th arpeggio from the 2b. Discovering these two arpeggios opened up new ways of moving around in it for me (though probably not traditional), and then some phrygian 'licks' need adding of course. I just discovered your channel after a topical search. I'll be back. You are definitely a man that knows his oranges - whoops, I mean onions.

[@chrismcdermott7766]

Still thinking as the V chord of relative Harmonic Minor , (starting in CMajor, relative minor is Am, sharp the G to create a major dominant V chord resolution to Am, becomes harmonic minor which opens up more chordal possibilities using both a natural G and G#...Those chromatic notes G,G#, A are very useful. Continue by adding a flat five Bflat to the E mode and what once was E phrygian, then became dominant phrygian, is now a full Altered scale-E,F,G,G#,A#,C,D. But the omitted notes are all very useful as well (A, and Bnatural) . This opens up many possibilites for chromaticism as well as implying whole tone riffs with G#,A#,C,D,E (Paco did this a lot). If you do it enough, you start to hear how all 12 chromatic notes work within the context of each chord.(F#,C#,D# are all good chromatic approach notes but also imply subdominant chord relationships relative to many chords such as Dmajor, C# diminished, Bmajor-oh so many more... Eventually, you can stop thinking of scales altogether. But learn them first. Thanks for the video Adam!

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

Thank you for your knowledgable insights and contributions! You got a little ahead of my next video (a bit behind on that one...), but absolutely, knowing how to connect the main notes with the chromatic passing-notes with awareness of the harmonic implications (or choosing to go against them- consciously) is the ultimate freedom!
