I've searched many videos in a quest to demystify Flamenco right hand patterns. Some are good but you have really nailed it. Really good explanation and use of video to make things clear

[@Flamenco4U]

Thanks Kelvin! I’m so glad you found this tutorial helpful! Thanks for the comment.

[@Flamenco4U]

You’re very welcome friend! Thanks for watching.

[@babita1465]

Really good explanation! You deserve more subscribers man!

[@db6050]

Really like your explanation of golpe. This elusive, intriguing technique is benefited by your realistic example of what it sounds like at first. Your message to persevere and know it can smooth out through practice is very encouraging. Thank you.

[@Flamenco4U]

You’re so right! It is exactly like that at first!…Elusive But you’ve just got to trust that after enough times, those two fingers will eventually work together on time. He or she who persists wins!🎸

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Thankyou for showing us the AMINOR first chord --appreciate1

[@Flamenco4U]

You bet man! Am is a good starting point to grasp with progression. Thanks for stopping by.

Pity no fret marker dots --but we have to learn to guess I suppose?

[@lonesomeguitarplayer]

Ha well earned Tribute to Davy 504 🙂

[@Flamenco4U]

😂

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Nice lesson --looks like your top thin strings are not nylon --must be wire?

[@Flamenco4U]

Wait…I stand corrected: I forgot that I actually had a set of carbon strings on this particular guitar. I completely forgot! I usually don’t use those.

[@samiadel7043]

[@mingosutu]

Como Espanol o Hispano hablante, su Ingles es increible. Pero glope y "slap" no es lo mismo?

[@Flamenco4U]

¡Gracias por las amables palabras! Me alegra que lo preguntes. Cuando enseño en inglés distingo entre “slap” y golpe, pero cuando enseño en español no distingo.

[@shermansmith6946]

do you still give lessons?

[@Flamenco4U]

Hi Sherman. Yes. You can book a call with me to apply for enrollment. calendly.com/flamenco4u/experiment1et

[@ruthnash8486]

The A string on my guitar not sure how to make that sound. Are pressing other strings for it?

[@Flamenco4U]

Hi Ruth! Thanks for stoppin’ by! After playing your A string, rest your thumb on the D string briefly. This will be a rest stroke. Secondly, make sure the edge of your thumbnail is filed nicely-otherwise you won’t be able to produce a quality tone.

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Hi Ben --sorry --what are carbon strings ? never heard of carbon fibre strings ?-are they better than nylon ?

[@Flamenco4U]

They are made from fluorocarbon/nylon. Have a brighter sound with quicker response. Nylon strings to me feel smoother and the tone is more even and traditional.
