How it feels to learn Flamenco guitar

[@alexiosanest]

Don't end up like Peter! Learn flamenco right now with my new course: www.alexiosanest.com/spanish-guitar-essentials

[@Eleven217]

I love how he absolutely sped it up.... but there are people who can absolutely play at that speed...

[@SouthernGryphus]

A Wizard squad emblem? Not that surprising 😎

[@perseus31]

Yeah but people like Paco De Lucia are literally mad geniuses. Im working a lot to become one but these people are on another level.

Thank you for 1500 subs! 🎸🔥💪🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 While there are definitely some like this, nearly all of the flamenco musicians I met when I was in Spain were some of the nicest people ever. If you get a chance to go when the world opens up you will not regret it. In the meantime I am happy to work with you via skype/zoom!

[@kiefscooper7]

been playing guitar for years im pretty good at math rock, indie rock and metal stuff with some blues and rnb thrown in ive recently started learning flamenco and i feel like a complete beginner again lol completely different finger picking technique its like relearning guitar

[@alexiosanest]

@@kiefscooper7 Yes the learning curve is steeper than most other styles, but knowing how and what to practice can speed things up significantly. Good luck! 🎸

[@gregorykalla2565]

This is about what year one feels like, and two…hilarious; it captures the intimidation factor superbly.

[@alexiosanest]

It never stopped feeling like that for me, you're lucky 😄

[@susansykes9110]

HILARIOUS! Reminds me of my piano teacher, Mrs. Smiley. She had a red pencil that was the source of my nightmares as a child. It’s a wonder I still play piano. 60 years and still going!!

[@alexiosanest]

Tough teachers are a nightmare at the time, but a blessing when you look back. Good for you for keeping it up!!!

[@bobibobik5903]

OK this is the best video aka ''advertisement'' for flamenco classes i ever saw in my life. That dark teacher reminds me on my teacher of blues and jazz guitar ☺, different genre but attitude was like that. When i watch your right hand it's scary, you honestly are brutal good flamenco player. I will share some or your videos for sure.

[@howardosugars8922]

Hahaha!! I laughed out loud at this! Hilarious 😂 All the best Alexios Howard.

[@malthus101]

That was pretty funny! Question - I'm trying to learn the basic techniques on a steel string - I think it's much more difficult this way... Am I right or wrong about that? Gracias.

[@alexiosanest]

if you have pretty thick nails its possible, but definitely more difficult

[@malthus101]

My nails and thin and break easily! Also they are cut short so I'm using the tips of my fingers. Thanks! @@alexiosanest

[@teok5665]

This is really what it feels like to learn flamenco, even basic things like compas por buleria o solea por buleria can be a bitch to start with

[@alexiosanest]

The learning curve is daunting for sure, but always worth it 😊🎸

[@andrelamotte4447]

[@dirkjanklijn9949]

So funny, but it's true, in the beginning it can be verry confusing, especially with the different palo's.

[@alexanderringler5747]

If I book an online lesson, will you too teleport my guitar to spain in order to demonstrate that my guitar is not the problem?

[@alexiosanest]

No need, I can tell from here your guitar is not the problem. Scales for 40 hours a day, now!

[@alexanderringler5747]

Yes, sir ;-)

[@alexanderringler5747]

@@alexiosanest Dear Alexios, this video inspired me to take actual guitar lessons after being an autodidact for several instruments for the last 20 years. I can't explain how thankful I am for the kind of inspiration you were with this fun sketch. You are a great man. Thank you.

[@izzygarcialionibabaloipici6293]

Can you make a flamenco for bass course? Do you teach bass players these arts?

[@alexiosanest]

I am not sure a separate course would be necessary, most of the techniques are easily transferred to bass, for example picado is basically 50 percent of bass playing. Thumb techniques like alzapua carry over into double thumbing on bass too

I think 'the student' has given up to play guitar forever. Flamenco seems to be magical, difficult, no easy way to learn. I think unless I was Spanish I am unable to play it true Spanish feelings.

[@alexiosanest]

The Spaniards definitely have the advantage, growing up with this music. It is an extremely difficult style to learn, but there are many great non Spanish flamenco players.

[@edlobato1251]

I know exactly how Peter feels! The style was not flamenco but technical.

[@markharry172]

This is so funny!! Nice playing and acting, btw! The intimidation this Flamenco guitar teacher gives off is nothing compared to a Bailaora (flamenco dancer)..they will yell at you. Make you feel insignificant and irrelevant if you don't stay in compas, watch for their cues and end in sync. I'm just joking....or maybe not! Lol! Thanks for posting, I really enjoyed this video.

[@alexiosanest]

Yes the teacher in this vid is definitely modeled after more of a flamenco dancer's ego haha. Most flamenco guitarists are pretty chill lol
