Thanks very much for posting. Oversimplifying it: guitarists who don't have access to singers/dancers learn by memorizing flamenco solos by notation, ear, and/or listening to recordings. Those with access to teachers learn via lessons, can sit in for dance classes, and/or learn cante accompaniment. Soloists won't have the same feel as those who accompany. At least get the basic compas (feel) of each flamenco form- it's quite enjoyable, helps synchronize the left/right hands, and adds to your repertoire.

Thank you, Kai! I'm from Sweden, and I try to feel like a spanish! It aint easy!

[@bassnmusic4572]

Such a cool video. Good to understand to do it at home. Easy to memorize and good sounding falsetas. Bravo!

[@sjk2cor517]

Wonderful lessons. Thank you!

[@sniffythepoocowtatum5436]

Great teaching Kai!

[@PluckinNylon]

Out of all the palos bulerias is my nemesis but after watching this I have hope deffo practice this thanks Kai for a very informative lesson 🙌🏻

[@kbkesq]

A perfect lesson for one, like myself, who didn’t know exactly where he was at any given time

[@FlamencoExplained]

So glad that helped!

[@artvandelay1555]

By the way, that guitar is a keeper. Nice tones.

[@alexisochocki2176]

Thank you Kai 👌

[@richardsprince6980]

I play keyboards and vibes, was curious about Buleria, you videos have been very helpful. I’ve learned to count it from other videos of yours, but this one finally helped me understand where the changes happen. I’ve learned the lines, will be practicing for awhile, still trying to figure out how to comp the upstrokes, and muted strokes.

Thank you 💛

Glad that worked out!

I feel like being back to school after a summer vacation. Welcome back! Did you make it to Spain?

[@Bardenschule]

Thank you. Most of the time I´ve been tought falseta after falseta without knowing where the compas is. I guess for many, teachers especially the spanish ones, it is obvious where the compas is but for me as a foreigner falsetas and compas are very confusing. Thanks for the clarity. I hope many well prepared videos like this one will follow

[@artvandelay1555]

What exactly does it mean to "stay in compás"? Stay in the groove of Flamenco? I hear that term often. I like the way you explain things. Thanks.

[@FlamencoExplained]

Being in compás, or staying in it, means staying in time, not adding or losing beats, phrasing things properly and all that good stuff. As you understand more what compás is, it become easier to understand the concept. Make sense? -Kai

[@artvandelay1555]

@@FlamencoExplained Yes, i think so, you know it when you feel it. Timing. These Falsetas in between do help and they sound cool. Thanks

[@alessandrovaccari782]

Hi. Do you suggest to write down some falsetas or subdivision compás to figured out all of these? (The payo's approach ;)).

[@FlamencoExplained]

I honestly don't suggest writing anything out. If you can't learn it otherwise it can help at the very beginning, but in my opinion the sooner you get rid of the paper the better you will learn. Cheers, Kai

[@user-ob5ox5wx6e]

Your guitar sounds so great...😭😭😭 What's the brand and price, please...🤗

[@FlamencoExplained]

That's a 1986 Manuel Reyes cypress and cedar flamenco guitar. The cedar top is pretty rare, so you're unlikely to find another like it! Cheers, Kai

[@user-ob5ox5wx6e]

@@FlamencoExplained Thanks sir, 💐🙏👍

[@garcitodelascuerdas6417]

I've learned a lot from this video but I can't understand why, after playing the six beat falseta, you then tap on beats seven and nine instead of beats eight and ten, as you do through the palo.

[@FlamencoExplained]

Golpes can be played to accent a beat, but we also use them quite a bit to fill in the spaces we're not accenting, which is what's happening here. I'm using the i finger downstrokes as the accents on 8 and 10, and the golpes are just kind of keeping time on the in-between beats (7 and 9). Does that make sense? Cheers, Kai

[@garcitodelascuerdas6417]

@@FlamencoExplained Yes Kai, that makes sense and thanks for your help. You are the best, 'explicador en jefe'. Oh, by the way, I've been thinking about paying a visit to your friend Stephen Hill to see if he will let me try out one of his amazing guitars. Just for the experience of playing a flamenco guitar of that class and also to see if I end up selling the house in order to buy one.😄 I'd like you to know that I appreciate your work immensely. Vale maestro, voy a practicar.✌️
