First video blog with a mini lesson on Fandangos de Huelva

Hi guys,
This is my first vlog for these crazy corona-virus-times! From now on I will be creating 1 or 2 videos a week with tips, talks, advice on technique and how to practice and improve. I'll be sharing my musical philosophy on improvisation, interpretation and composing, and how to develop your own style and grow your imagination. This will happen in the course of several weeks and hopefully after we're done with this virus.

Hi Adam, hi everybody, this (www.newlearningvision.com/lessons.php) is the page Adam is referring to in this video. I have bought quite a few of the courses offered there and haven't regretted it NOT A SECOND, highly recommendable stuff. But I can't find the fandango lessons you're talking about, Adam. And I would certainly be very interested in learning fandango. Thanks for your work, Adam, as a teacher you're certainly one of a kind. Looking forward to the new version of your site.

Hi Manfred, I don’t remember if we have Fandangos de Huelva... we should. Send and email to staff@ newlearningvision.com and ask. Thanks!!!

Hello...Im just curious why you are using a 2 finger (i a )rasqueado instead of ( i m ) . Is this the traditional way? Im only about six months into flamenco guitar, I practice a couple of hours a day and I love this Palo. Thank you for creating the lesson..Im probably gonna try your fandangos lesson :-).

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

The i and a fingers are more separate and more equal in length, that’s why I like using them instead of i and m. But it’s a personal choice. There are other player who do it also. Cheers

I really can follow your instruction; as opposed to another tutorial( whom I won't mention); he is just too busy and fails connect ME to Flamenco! Thanks.

[@jessicarombach1445]

I see that quite often guitarists fix the capo at the 2nd fret.(F#). Is there a reason for that? Which one? Again an interesting lesson but as a real beginner I'd like to find basic lessons to start with. How can I do that? I am 73 yo and not a computer freak ...

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

Putting the capo in flamenco especially is about adjusting the key to what the singer wants that day…(it can vary from day to day), it also brings out a certain timber and color out of the guitar. For very beginner lessons you can check out my online lessons at Learnavel.com Thank you

[@jessicarombach1445]

@@adamdelmonteguitarist Thank you for your quick answer. I know about the use of capo, My question was about the place at which (some) guitarists put it. Why at the second fret (F#)? Does it make playing easier because of a lower action? This isx the impression I have with my quite cheap "Guitarra flamenca ...

[@sholland42]

@@jessicarombach1445 , F# is the most vibrant key in music, conducive to flamenco. You then play shapes in E as open tuning but now it’s F#.

Any chance you'll convert you NewVisionLearning video lessons so that they don't require Flash which won't be supported after December 2020?

[@adamdelmonteguitarist]

madeofsoil We are currently working on updating and renewing our NewLearningVision.com website so that it will work with tablets and be flash-free. It’s taken us a while but we’re getting close to the end now. Definitely before December 2020! Thanks for your support and patience!
