[@kevinpatrick4670]

GREAT TUTORIALS!!!👍🏼 Especially the Golpe and Rumba techniques!!! I play classical guitar, but when I heard flamenco, it set me free to a degree. Classical music is a little bit strict and refined... FLAMENCO is more open and free. It's almost like jazz improvisation. I Love everything about FLAMENCO!! It's EXOTIC, SENSUAL, and FILLED WITH POWER AND PASSION!!! And those Beautiful Ladies who dance to the Calient'e Rhythms, are IRRESISTIBLE ❣️❣️❣️!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERTISE!! 🎶🎵🎵💯

[@DavidChiriboga]

Awesome, glad you’re exploring Flamenco! There’s a lot of beauty within Classical too, that I’ve learned to appreciate and love, but I agree with a lot of what you say about how it’s a whole different culture and mental approach. A lot more freedom and generally more about the groove and feel. One of the main reasons I couldn’t get into classical in the beginning was because of that rigid and neurotic style of teaching and playing from some of the classical community.

[@burak8396]

Can you make a lesson for flamenco chords and their transitions please 🙏🏻 , a searched a lot there is just one video with 3 chords And we love so much, you are the best❤️

[@DavidChiriboga]

Thanks so much! I’d love to. Would you like to see typical chord variations that we use in flamenco to make “regular” chords sound Flamenco, or more of a focus on cycles of chords? In any case I will do my best to cover as much as I can.

[@burak8396]

David Chiriboga Music i wanted to learn buleria , and now i have the technique but I don’t have flamenco chords to play the compas , so I thought i should learn the chords first and their transitions first , and then go back to buleria ........... last question , I don’t love solea , should i learn it ?

[@DavidChiriboga]

Sounds great that you’ve worked on technique first! You need that foundation to play anything. And always continue to work on it. Learning typical Flamenco chords that you can practice with technique exercises would be a great seconds step. Next, apply that to some simple compass patterns. I also plan on starting to release some compass and basic rhythm patterns and variations soon, now that I’ve done the basic technique. As to the Solea question, that all depends on how serious you want to get into flamenco and how much time you have to practice. If you really want a solid foundation and want to get serious, then yes, don’t skip it 🙂. If you just want to pick and choose some palos, then I would just pick styles you really enjoy.

[@burak8396]

ok , thank you so much ❤️❤️

Thanks David for this great video! Mow I finally managed to learn the Golpe!

[@DavidChiriboga]

Hi, I responded to part of your question in my live session yesterday. @ around 11:30 second mark. Hope it helps... kzbin.info/www/bejne/inyUeWOjbrdroNk

[@chriszotalis3361]

Thank you David for the beautiful lesson.All your videos are very good and useful! This is a question about pulgar with golpe in a falseta that you play lets say up to G string, I wonder what is the proper way to do it. Does the right hand position need to change while you move from higher to lower strings ? I also saw some teachers argue that all "ima and pinky" fingers should be ancored on the guitar while playing pulgar, and the only finger that you should move is the "a" for the golpe when needed. I think a lot of begginers are struggling with the proper position of the right hand when playing flamenco. In classical guitar ,where i come from, the position in the right hand is specific in almost all repertoir. But in flamenco the right hand looks like being another bailaor! Thanks again 👌👌

[@DavidChiriboga]

Hi Chris! Thanks for the nice comment and feedback! So generally speaking, when moving from the 6th string towards the 1st string or vise versa, with either picado, the thumb or Alzapua technique, the hand will have to slightly shift up or down, while maintaining the form of course. As far as specifically anchoring all your fingers or just some for pulgar or Alzapua, you’re right, that can change from player to player. But i think we can all agree that there needs to be some anchoring for leverage and stability. Wether you anchor one or all of them, those are smaller details that are more personal, and is hard to tell which works best for you without seeing you play. But you’re right, in Classical there seems to be more of a majority in agreement with form and technique. While with Flamenco, there are more styles of approaches on techniques, from the picado, rasgueados, pulgar, etc…. One person can say one way is the only way, while another says the opposite. lol It can get confusing. 🙃 That’s why its usually best to find one method from a credible source, that feels good to you, and stick with it. Ive had to re-adjust my techniques over the years due to bad teachers that only taught me their way….😅

[@M45trKLLr]

Nice, didn't know about the Golpe with the thumb, I've seen an odd one done by the left side of the neck? Not sure if it was with the thumb or other fingers

[@DavidChiriboga]

Yea, I love using the thumb a lot for golpes when playing rumbas. In the end there’s so many variations and hybrid golpe techniques guitarists invent… It’s all about getting creative and using what works for you, and sounds good of course. 😉

[@unsuspectinggoat7574]

Bussin

[@DavidChiriboga]

?

[@TheHesseJames]

To some the golpe might come easier than to others. I belong to the others. But I can only encourage to trust the practicing process. Give it some time and you’ll get it down in a couple of days/ weeks. Same with the patterns like double golpe for rumba or the rasgeos. Also be patient and start really slow and build up the tempo slowly. Start with muted strings first, then add a chord, then change between two chords and finally play it on the myriad variations of the Andalusian cadence. Flamenco is almost all about the right hand and it has to learn a lot!

[@DavidChiriboga]

Yes 👍🏼 You laid it out perfectly! One gradual step at a time with patience will get you there. The only thing I would add is, if something isn’t working and improving, you have to asses why and possibly change something about the way you’re performing it. With golpe’s, sometimes I’ve had students just isolate the golpe fingers, and alternate with the striking fingers on the strings, and eventually combine them, among other strategies. But you’re on the right track… (I was also one of the ones that most of this didn’t come easily 😉)

[@peteranthonyofthefamilybir18]

Thank you Very nicely explained (I'm feeling a little stunned right now with information overload ⏩️ REWIND button . . .👌

[@DavidChiriboga]

Thanks for watching, and glad you found it helpful! And YES, take it small part by small part and come back to the vid or rewind, don’t want you to get overwhelmed which leads to less action.

[@binhgo3]

could you please teach how to play that golpe with the abanico 4:59

[@DavidChiriboga]

Sure, that would be a great idea. Don’t think I’ve made one for that specific variation. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@AFDO5310]

Hi! I notice when I try to do the capirote, the flesh at the back of my nail on the index finger gets stuck on the 6th string on the way down, causing a bit of pain and still not producing a strong golpe. Any tips for this situation?

[@DavidChiriboga]

Hey! So always hard to exactly tell without seeing it. But it could be two things, the angle and the tension of your finger. As it’s hitting the wood, make sure it’s already turning towards a perpendicular angle, not flat against the wood(top of the guitar) or it may get stuck. Also if your finger is too tight/tense, then that may also prevent it from turning angle and following through the strings. Best I can say without exactly seeing it. Hope that helps 👍🏼

[@TheHesseJames]

It’s the golpe that I suggest to pick up last and to practice really slow until it works without effort because you can easily hurt yourself if you force it.

[@robertdrapeaux6284]

Do you do online lessons

[@DavidChiriboga]

So I’m about to launch my signature e-course very soon, and the launch will include some bonuses, includes monthly group coaching. That will be what I will be endorsing to all who are interested as the best way for me to connect and help you all out much more detailed. Since you’ll have access to my library of videos and discounted one on one coaching options. I do also currently do limited private one on one sessions. Please check out my website for more info and you can email me with any more questions. Happy to help. 👍🏼

[@mysteriousman4966]

this is really difficult haha,.

[@DavidChiriboga]

Lol, it can be awkward at first. You really have to train the fingers to cooperate and be independent. My biggest tip to start would be to not worry about the power of the golpes at first, just get the motion and form, even if it sounds weak. The power will come little by little.
