I really like this raw and honest tutorial. No bull and very informative. Thank you sir.

No worries about the new strings and tuning. The main thing you got the information across required for learning this lovely piece especially backed up with TAB and notation which is available free on the internet. Many thanks.

just excelent,, straight to the point, without informations that do not belong to someone like me, that is just an user of the instrument and not a musician.

As far as I can tell, Jan uses the flamenco tremolo in quintuplets. (piami) instead of the classical one in 16th notes. Makes more sense given the spead at which the tremolo part is played.

hi harald, do you have any tips on how to learn it properly?

[@haraldkoll]

@@pedrocastro6124 The tremolopattern is piami, practice slow at first. It basically is like a regular classical tremolo, but with an extra stroke from the index finger on the high string for the part you play. Should be plenty of tutorials on this I'm guessing. I learned it from a book by Paco Pena, toques flamenco, if I remember the title correct.
