Great video Dude. That's a lot of important stuff to explain and you do it with ease.

[@hunterlong7660]

You are great too.

[@FlamencoExplained]

Petter Houting You probably don’t know that @BenWoods is one of the best legit flamenco players in this country. People assume that because he chooses to play his own music he’s not, but Ben knows his stuff cold and has chosen a path that is uniquely his own. You may not love what he does, but in addition to being insanely talented and inventive Ben knows and respects flamenco. He certainly has my respect.

Yes a big thanks Ben from the uk

[@malinmizen]

Simply brilliant: I´m afraid I had to search for an english speaking video to really understand my own culture. You convey a very complex message rather simply and preciselly. ¡Muchas gracias maestro !

[@atrafana]

Great lesson!

[@baki52]

Amazing! Just amazing, great video to introduce yourself to what Flamenco is about, I wish I watched it 30 years ago😂

[@garcitodelascuerdas6417]

Superb lesson again from El Explicador En Jefe. Gracias maestro.

[@elnazetminan]

What an amazing lesson. Thanks for that 😊😇

[@miassus10]

You are awesome Kai, I'm learning a lot from you, thank you

Excellent video. Many thanks

Brilliant. Thanks!

[@m_hossniofficial5254]

Thanks you Profe 🙏🏻🙂❤️

[@peterhopes9062]

thank you master for explaining tough things easier.

[@200kwk]

Really helpful to clear up the big picture. Out here in Hong Kong not many people do flamenco and it is really great to learn from you through this channel.

[@777xino]

Great to hear a comparison of the different signature "voicings" of the major palos one after the other.

[@Kaiser_1]

That is very helpful thank you ....waiting for a new (voicings) video for other palos

[@vibefrequencyable]

I have no clue what u are talking about...but so beautiful.. sounds like a celebration of life.

[@dweishome]

Wow you did a huge amount of work on this amazing video Kai. So helpful. Thanks a million. I read you have a book available on Amazon. Will definitely get that today.

[@yassinebien]

Great video Like always, thank you so much for your efforts. Your videos make it more interesting to learn Flamenco.

[@FlamencoExplained]

hosam saedaldeen Thanks!

[@JohnRPike]

I think all of your training is brilliant!! Thanks

[@FlamencoExplained]

Aww - thanks!

[@darkestfugue]

i have been a rock guitarist all my life but always wanted to play flamenco,, i play with a pick, im also left handed and play right handed so my right hand is a bit rubbish, so now i have to figure out the right hand technique of flamenco, you said this is for starters, lol, im going to be years just trying to figure out the content of this video alone

[@RemyTrahant]

Love your lessons, Kai!

[@FlamencoExplained]

Thanks Remy!

[@chrisChringle]

Great lesson of a Great guitarist …. I Follow you on Spotify…. Flamenco the only true Sound 😉

[@emmanuelhaddads6211]

haga rex2, y vendelos, suena fantastico

[@duraidh7299]

Great introduction to Palos. I've been studying flamenco guitar for a while and the palos map is overwhelming. This video laid them out very nicely. Thank you.

[@FlamencoExplained]

So glad it's helpful! And the "map" definitely makes more and more sense as you become familiar with the Palos themselves. Cheers, Kai

[@ialexeev]

Kai, it would be pretty great if you did a solea por buleria lesson por arriba somewhere on the site!

[@MrSF247]

I love your videos. I'm fascinated with flamenco and have really been wanting to get into it more and start learning. I see the different subscription levels on the site, but I was wondering if you plan to or would do a lifetime access level.

[@FlamencoExplained]

Hey - we don't have any plans at the moment to do a lifetime membership or change the current subscription levels, but we're flattered that you'd ask! Cheers, Kai

[@ZalMoxis]

Hey Kai, I just bought your book (excellent btw - best I've seen) ... is there an online component that has the examples played as they should be...?? Or, a program to follow on from it?? If not, where should i start with your website ?? I am not a beginner so can jump right in. Time is my enemy though. Look forward to your thoughts.... Cheers.

[@FlamencoExplained]

Yes - examples are on the flamencoexplained.com site. Send me an email to [e-mail] with a bit more about your playing background etc.. and I'll be able to help you more with how to use the site for you. Cheers, Kai

[@user-we8xh4ex6e]

Hello. Where i can find this book? Thank you

[@davidespinosa1910]

Hi -- thanks for all the videos ! Does one of them talk about "por arriba" and "por medio" ? (is it p.a. = E phrygian, p.m. = A phrygian ?)

[@FlamencoExplained]

Yep - that's right. But it's the chord shapes and not the actual key that determines it, so wherever the capo is, if you're playing the E Phrygian shapes you're Por Arriba, etc..

[@newlevelgraphicsdavidframe2870]

who is the maker of your guitar it is fabulous sounding?

[@FlamencoExplained]

That’s a 1986 Manuel Reyes.

[@newlevelgraphicsdavidframe2870]

Your playing ability is quite impressive to say the least I enjoy your videos

[@petterhouting7484]

Cante libre is still a mystery to me

[@Mojokiss]

deal with it!

[@ThomasHope73]

Not being familiar with Flamenco guitar technique, l found this didn’t work as an introduction. Some written notation onscreen with each example, played slowly, would have helped a lot.

[@afterlife3502]

Hey can you teach me guitar like you I want to learn flamenco guitar I'm beginner , I want to learn , I want to play like you can you teach me I can pay for it , I don't know anything about it, I want to learn from start ...

[@FlamencoExplained]

Hi! If you want private lessons you can email me at [e-mail] and we can set it up. Cheers, Kai

[@CarlFernandes]

Maybe im just a complete idiot but I really struggle with the timing. In general it sounds like people just shout numbers 1-12 and play anything

[@mayaralshofe3498]

You are probably not.. it's just that the feel comes along naturally. You should always prefect the simple stuff to able to advance in the flamenco world.

[@deldia]

You just have to keep practicing. Start feeling those major beats. Obviously it massively helps to play to a really clear backing track. I also find it hard sometimes.

[@petterhouting7484]

10-12 is always has the same thing with playing the home chord as an arpeggio in solea and solea por buleria. Buleria has this sometimes but it sounds different so dont focus on it there. Seguiriya has it too but from 3-6. Buleria only plays chords on the accents.

[@markdodds414]

12 🤦‍♂️ maybe

[@hamishmccreight6639]

Why are you looking in the opposite direction to the camera...are there people off camera....????

[@Qalex2114]

Sigo pregutándome si por su acento es español o anglosajón XD

[@FlamencoExplained]

Criado en eeuu (y unos añitos en Mexico) de padre americano y madre Mexicana (y abuelo Español). La mezcolanza :)

[@Qalex2114]

@@FlamencoExplained Ya decía yo! Tienes un acento muy bonito y curioso.

[@user-ps8wh3bn8g]

Your camera person is the worst. Your instructional video could be better if you just keep the camera shot on both hands, & the guitar. Thanks for the excellent explanations.
