[@ianlopez2850]

To a beginner like myself, this has made Spanish style guitar much easier to understand and play. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@NoMeWithoutYou1]

You are, without doubt, one of the best guitar teachers I have come across. Every lesson is full of insightful ideas that can be put immediately to use.

[@asapnomats5505]

him: "you all know this" me: pauses video and looks up chords x)

[@soulvaccination8679]

Lol..🤣🤣

[@drTpat420]

I knew the chords but no clue that those 4 made up a spanish style scale

Me too (:-} )

[@Richard-1776]

Lol

[@Jadeddoxy]

Ayyy I'm ur 100th like Ik it's not important I just wanted to say that 💀

[@TheFrannyy]

every one of your lessons is so clear. you're by far the most accessible and pragmatic teacher online. great stuff

[@SunnySurf]

Legendary man! First guitar lesson I have been able to sit through after trying to develop this sort of style for several years. This has helped me along my way so cheers from Scotland.

[@CosmoKramer369]

This all sounded beautiful and so simple once you sit and do it for a little bit. Thanks for sharing this, one of the most informative lessons I've seen on this

[@jorkataeff]

You are extremely good at teaching buddy. Never stop doing it. It helps hundreds of people play their favourite music.

[@davemavity331]

Alright. After messing with a lot of Spanish improvisational/ noodling videos and lessons (and still sucking at it), this one finally cleared the brain fog and made sense. It’s also fun. Great work, as usual.

[@maddiedadday6856]

Best lesson I have ever seen. No one has ever explained a scale concept to me in such an easy to understand format.

[@j7...]

there are millions of guitar tutorials on youtube. how do you manage to be that outstanding at giving lessons! AWESOME

[@vinceherrera5744]

You are absolutely a wonderful teacher who inspires please keep moving forward with your powerful message of teaching through music. every time i watch a session with you i am re-energized to play more and I truly thank you for that....

[@opaaria195]

Fantastic tutorial. Thank you for your sincerity and thoughtfulness in bringing these instructive videos!

[@shazlee100]

Your instruction was so comprehensive as you covered a lot of material, you delivered it clearly and concisely, you're a natural born teacher, thankyou so very much as you closed all the gaps for me.

[@kennstedas]

Mindblown. Suddendly my stuff sounds Spanish! Thank you so much for your videos, I mainly learn plaing guitar from your videos. Started at zero and now I can play enough to just have fun!

[@diamondbird743]

Very helpful. Was just searching around for a good flamenco lesson for my 9 year old and found this. He got it quick and inspired him to learn more Spanish guitar. Thank you so much!

[@Cleveland_Chris]

By far my favorite KZbin channel. You are an awesome teacher, sir. Thank you.

[@Dutcharmytent]

This information on Spanish sounding music in Am was just what I have been looking for . You crammed so much info into one lesson.

[@kanjiluva]

Man, you are amazing!! And your dogs are the laziest!!!!

[@TheOriginalFayari]

This one video singlehandedly got me on the path of Spanish guitar. I love you.

[@The_Chosen_One66]

I had so much fun with this lesson. You've made learning Spanish style guitar so easy to understand and apply to anyone's personal style of playing that the sky is the limit for the individual player. I'm going to go crazy with this..... in a good way lol thank you so much. You've got yourself another subscriber with this lesson. Bravo 👏🏻

[@danielwilson2365]

I've been playing some Spanish riffs and chords for quite awhile and never really understood why it connected (through trial and error). This lesson really helped bring it to a higher level of understanding. Thanks and keep up the great lessons.

[@lane99]

It is amazing how easy it is to improv something which sounds beautiful after viewing this lesson. A million thanks.

[@kamakazikriss]

I just started watching your channel a day or two ago, but I've already watched so many GREAT videos. I can not thank you enough for all of your improv lessons. Any and all improv ideas are appreciated as this is really what I want to be able to do. Improv and create. The only problem is that you are so good and make it look so easy! You are awesome !!!! Thanks. :)

[@RapperRemedi]

Best channel on youtube! Learned alot from your video's/teaching! Really appreciate your time and patient! Much RESPECT!!

[@g7sus4purcell22]

Absolutely one of the gems of the internet. About two years of guitar theory in under 17 minutes!

[@Ba_A]

The Arabic melody that you hear when you played the Spanish has an explanation. There is a connection. Way back in the day Spain was almost entirely ruled by the Moors for over 700 years. Hence the Arabic influence is present in Spanish architecture, music, cuisine, as well with other cultural similarities.

[@AsifMehedi]

And, interestingly, the word "guitar" < Spanish guitarra < Arabic kītārah ≪ Greek kithára (dictionary.com)

[@tobim5574]

During the spread of Islam the muslims invaded southern ibera and eventually conquered the entire iberian peninsula. This is also true for all of North Africa, southern italy and southern france. Multible raids and conquests darkened the general skintone of the population trough years of population replacement. Spaniards are therefore a little darker than what they used to be.

[@TechoWeeds]

Lord Timmy i thought we r here for somw good music not for our ancestors history class -_-

[@adrianaperezz3351]

Ba A but before all of that there where the Romans who influenced the Spanish language and Arabic people influenced there music

[@coastalphriends4913]

OMG! As of Portuguese decent, I heard this growing up!

[@martin47g]

This lesson is MIND BLOWING! I havent been this excited to play in a while. Gonna keep it groovy lolz

[@sandrinedereu6060]

Wow wow wow. Opens a thrilling new door in front of my young happy playing. What a pity it's the middle of the night and my neighbours probably would'nt be as happy as I would, with me experiencing your lesson right now. Thank you so much "sir" ! 6'18 will remain as kind of a magical moment for me.

[@MrAc4321]

This is the best direct, stay on point and easy to follow lesson I've seen. Great job!

[@killedbycoconuts]

[@royisaac5496]

This is by far THE BEST explication and example on understanding guitar theory - in practice!

[@roysummersphotography5573]

Fantastic.......just learnt how easy it is to get the sounds I am after. You just told me in different way that connected with my mind. Brilliant!!

[@robinskitube]

Great lesson, always wanted to learn some Spanish music, I love the way that sometimes just one note or step different in those scales and your on the beach in Malaga, eating pescaito frito and tapas with a fine wine......cant you just taste it ? you sir, are obviously a great musician with a friendly laid back approach to teaching, I have watched a lot of your video's and think you are probably the best instructor of music on youtube, I not only like your lessons but love listening to you play, you make it look so effortless........thank you and a happy new year to you...from the UK

[@spaceflan5629]

Took a complex subject and simplified it nicely. Great for the intermediate player to start applying flamenco style techniques without being overwhelmed.

[@ABoxOfTea]

Man this helped me so much. I've really been stuck lately progressing in guitar this has opened up a wide door for me :)

[@luistentindo6334]

Great video. You really seem to know your stuff. I don't know how to play yet, but I love Spanish guitar sound for many years. At last it's time to learn and get my hands connected with my heart, mind and soul.

[@Identitees]

Great lesson, I've been trawling through youtube looking for the right stuff to help my gutar playing and this video and the one before, "8 Essential Blues Turnarounds" really hit the spot, cheers,I'm looking forward to more, thanks

[@vincentthorn4609]

From a beginner: Started fiddling with wife’s guitar a year ago. Felt like I got further in the last few days with you and this song than the whole prior year. And unlike all the guitar book songs, everyone likes to hear it. You are a Great, patient teacher. Only because I am a real novice and for others like me, if you could please spell the chord fingering, especially the unusual fingered ones, out one time, a little slower and one finger at a time so that we see and it sinks in. Then can play it back a million times til we get it.

[@sabus.s6871]

I was searching throughout KZbin for something like this. At last I got a way ! Thanks

[@aaronkenny2138]

hey man I'm from Ireland and I'm only 13 and I stopped my guitar lessons and start watching KZbin and thus is the best video I've seen, Thx so much

[@rawenpasha]

[@drTpat420]

Thank you man, this had a lot of good information that was easy to conceptualize! Definitely going to watch all your videos

[@kar2592]

Bro this is amazing! Really love your arrangements and lessons! Thanks so much for making great videos!

[@johngoessling4949]

Dude. This video is perfect. I've been doing this for a while, and not even knowing what it was called. Oh my God LOL I have a new reason to live

[@secondvisions9759]

Wow someone finally got me to understand the technique 🙌 Thanks brother

[@rogermanley9017]

You are a God-send! Thank you so much for breaking it down!

[@xXinsaneboyXx]

Knowledge truly is power.

[@davidlane180]

Thanks for this. One of the first 'tunes' I learned on guitar was Malaguena, and I still use it today by segueing from it into Stairway . I wish I had studied this style more over the years and I've just had a very satisfying few hours 'doodling' with the essence of your tutorial. I didn't look at the tab, rather went by ear and mistakenly started with top e 5-4-1-0. This worked as well, so wondered how that fits in with the 'theory' (which after 40 odd years I'm now starting to study). Thanks again.

[@michaelkelly6583]

You Sir are my favourite guitar educator! Well done, and fun.

[@marcellgyurjan5055]

maybe the best guitar instructor out there on youtube

[@simonpratley3301]

Thank you so much, I have learned more from you in this video than I have in years tyring to watch other flamenco videos. Please make more flamenco style videos in the future.
