DISCLAIMER: There are some comments saying that this is not proper flamenco techniques. If you look at the title, you'll notice that I specifically called this lesson a tricks lesson. It's meant for players who are not flamenco players to enhance their playing and sound more like flamenco. I am an acoustic fingerstyle player, it is obvious that I am not a flamenco player, and all I'm doing is showing some techniques to help out some viewers get more out of their guitar, that's all. If you want to teach proper flamenco technique, you're more than welcome to make your own video, and I'll give the link right here.

to hell with all these wannabes giving you negative feedback. you are an awesome teacher/player! they're so jealous! i've been playing for 30 plus years every style of every kind and i think you really got it going on!

[@kevinmcmenamin260]

+kevin marconnette Mate, I reckon your positive comments are spot on. Between the 'special people' writing above the heads of those of us who came here to learn & the spite mongers who knock people only because they are bored, -- It could wear away at great Teachers like this. Some may just give up. So its great when I read strong support for people like this who are giving their time & sharing the FREE gift of this inspiring music!

[@GabrielDipo]

+kevin marconnette you are handsome

Cheers for the Video! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Rozardner Guitar Professionalism Reality (probably on Google)? It is a great exclusive guide for easy guitar learning system for adults minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my buddy finally got excellent results with it.

[@Szten]

30+ years, every style? Wow. Then probably you noticed that some techniques were demonstrated and explained quite inaccurately - for instance "fan picking" or tremolo. And teaching certain techniques incorrectly is not something one should applaud. Don't get me wrong, many years have passed since this video, and this guy's new lessons are pretty decent, but this one definietly isn't. It's rather strange you can't see it with 30+ years experience to say the least.

[@10TillTuhda]

"I dont save the best for last, i start off with the best" LOL

[@HigherPlanes]

That should be on a T-Shirt...including the LOL

[@redbeast86]

Good job mate. Really useful to have all these techniques compiled into one lesson, and your skills only make me want to practice them more!

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

Just want to say that I am a ukulele player always looking for new techniques to add to my repertoire, and I have tried all of the 8 techniques in this lesson and they are all brilliant fun and sound great on a uke, so a massive thank you to you for this video!

[@jeffreyburton7284]

This is the one of the Most Useful and Inclusive videos I've ever seen! In one sitting you are showing the keys to playing the Flamenco Style. This gives me weeks worth of technique to master. Fantastic guitar lesson!!!

[@FrancisBlackley]

Such a good video, i like the way you explain it clearly....don´t care about people that dislike you or talk about if it´s flamenco style or not. For me it´s really nice to try out these technics that way. And it definately helped me out to sound more "flamenco" So thanxx a lot for that!

[@timthetoolpool]

I really enjoy your lessons on technical skills and the like. It is refreshing to get more than just song tutorials. Every time I'm in a rut, learning the underlying tricks of different styles pulls me back out of the swamp of boredom.

[@asanisimasablasta]

I've played guitar for decades, bored and stuck at times.... so and am glad to finally see hear and learn these much more complex, interesting, inspired rhythmic variations/tricks with the strum hand. It's as if 60% of the instrument is hobbled without these sounds. Thanks.

[@fahmidmoin2979]

i have been practicing for a day or two. and now amazed by the improvements, thanks a lot for sharing

[@herbalistics9261]

I have been studying really hard here and hoping that you never remove these videos as I need to really work with them a lot. Please don't remove these if you don't have to o.k. I also want to remember to let you know that you are a great teacher and really appreciated & I thank you.!!!

[@thomasjohnson2497]

I found this video to be very helpful. Thank you for posting!

[@dazdefaz4374]

Lick n Riff has done so much for my playing AND its FREE.....in my books this guy is awesome..... Cant give enough praise to someone who shares their skills. I subscribed after learning your autumn leaves lesson. So much to learn and not enough time bro.....Thank you thank you thank you!!

[@user-iv2zm8ez5p]

thank you man you helped me get allot better on guitar, only few people play and teach music for the music

[@scolpitts]

I’ve been following your channel for years, Somehow I missed this gem. This morning I was working with your latest video “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”. I I’m so thankful for all the guitar instructor KZbin contributors and dude YOU are one of the most unique (and probably underrated/under viewed) out there! Thanks for all the inspiration!

[@jlnmyr]

Thanks a lot for these tricks! I've been looking for a way to import flamenco techniques into my steel string guitar playing. So special thanks for showing these tricks on the steel string guitar.

[@guitarloverrrhasan2310]

For more than 10 years I have tried doing some of the Flamenco techniques without success as my brain was programmed on the wrong method and I could not change my mistakes. However, your guidance did really support and help me, finally I can do many flamenco tricks and thanks to you

[@amandeep8048]

after lot of hard work for finding out a good tutorial about finger picking i found you............thanks for helping people like us god bless u

[@Georgikk]

My best guitar teacher, if you knew how many times your lessons socially helped me. Thank you, sensei

[@josheehat]

Very solid tutorial. Hopefully I can grind on these and get them learned quickly and well!

[@RythymBeast]

One of the best lessons on youtube! You just expanded my repertoire. Muchas gracias mi amigo!

[@nirvaankarn7812]

you rock man! keep up the good work sir!

[@matteo5869]

This guy is like your guitarist friend who just learnt a trick or two and wants to show it off to you Joking pal, great video!

[@FaridBabul]

Perfect because these tricks make me sound like a flamenco guitarist quite easily. Thanks.

[@brknshldr]

Hey man, thanks a lot for this little lesson. I can see how these tricks can make anything really have a Spanish flair. I just bought a spanish guitar while in Tijuana. It is hand made by a guy there, it's a Luis Sevillano. Don't know if u know who that is but is beautiful and this lesson will help me get going in playing spanish guitar. I have always wanted to learn but never had the right guitar. But know I do, so thanks man. I subscribed to your channel too.

[@gregorygarcia7807]

Always a pleasure to hear from licknrif. I like this guy; bbq beer and happy dogs, easy to get git lessons. He would be welcome in my home. I still can lean a lot. I have spent good time with this lad great attitude

[@robertdupuis2196]

great lesson..love Spanish guitar, at 50 its too late for me to master Spanish style but to be able to incorporate these tricks ans spice things up is fantastic, going to pick up a classical guitar and fart around on it with your lessons, thanks

[@hoseweezul52]

I've been playing for over 50 years but I always learn something new from your videos . Thanks , brother ! You're the best !

[@hoseweezul52]

@The Mighty Everglades Why would you say that ?

[@hoseweezul52]

@The Mighty Everglades Thanks . Actually in my 60's . I started young .

[@adreenal]

I found this vid to be very useful, I also like the way it looks like there has just been a shoot out in the room, gives it an authentic feel!!!

[@bishwheeler2923]

Thanks. You make this fun and I learn best when I'm having fun and not being made to feel thick headed.

[@jriver64]

Keep this up and, you will have a big following not long thereafter. Great job, Guitarman.

[@mqmteam]

I like your videos and your passion for teaching. See some guys here asking how to play the fan. They feel more natural to begin with the last finger. It is simply the right way. Technique is called rasgueado and it goes from the 5th to the 2nd finger

[@jordanls7761]

Amazing video by the way. Thanks so much !

[@loungemusic5655]

love this! can't wait to apply some of these ideas to my own music.

[@KalebKalinowski]

Awesome video! Very nice playing.

[@your11tomy7]

Killing it! Was looking for some new ways to spice up my acoustic chops, thanks for the ideas!

[@asadkhan5607]

not new things for me to learn but some of them are really from the scratch..and learning alot from your lessons in a new way ...

[@eddiebenzz]

Real Cool Dood ! Gave a lot And didn't ask for a dime !? People , this is a giver .... Not a taker. Not to many like him in today's world !

[@CptBongue]

This lesson is just pure gold!

[@DanielMillerzrba71]

ich bin eine dutchman, und can't live wit out spanish music, and learning to play and it has been easier and more fun than i expected, i am happy with all the spanish sounds and techniques that i can learn and will be a student of it for ever

[@blackflierful]

Hey, thanks! Most of those online lessons don't go further than learning chords and playing silly pop songs. I just stumbled on your videos and I think theyre exactly what I was looking for!

[@user-yt2wl4it8z]

These videos are f*****g beautiful and thank you very much!

[@Ezguitarpick]

Nicely shown and explained. Thanks for the names to call the techniques also. Yay

[@AnExcitingFear]

Hey man, thx for this advices, really inspiring. Love it!

[@thegratefulbrad3072]

I start all my students with a capo on the 2nd fret. This always lowers the action. I still do this on really delicate fingerstyle stuff, it's so much easier.

[@DadBroCo]

Love your ENERGY and I love your style of teaching. 🫶🏽💜 🎸

[@AmanGill-cu5xx]

awesome tricks. thanks for this video mate

[@alexyrussia6175]

And thank you for the time you have spent sharing your talents. I have just gone through this lesson, and had to express my gratitude. Mucho thanks (I should speak Spanish as I have a half Spanish niece!)

[@philomelodia]

Classical style uses three fingers and the thumb for tremulo. Hard to learn but awesome sound. Never tried with just two. Love your vids, man. What you are doing is great.

[@Azulnote]

This is WAY harder than it looks like. Insane level of mastery. Bravo.

[@erikshomestead3422]

This was very rich in experience and the lecture was outmost well done.

[@luisasanz]

Un poco de uña en la mano derecha vendría muy bien para el flamenco. Todo fluye mejor. Resulta difícil hacer el trémolo con la yema de los dedos. Gracias por compartir!

[@frankrobert7457]

Hey, how are you and the weather there?

[@danielemory82]

Been playing guitar 53 years and you're the best teacher I've found on youtube. Everyone has all these tricks and such for speed picking and whatnot but without electric what do the have. I love fingerpicking. Been practicing classical and will continue. Gotta love Steve Howe, great composer and performer.

[@mistahpita]

So good man. Just so good.

[@1donnie1957]

Gracias! Beautiful job! Thank you...will practise...

[@pitpony007]
