hi, Scott. Love your teaching!!! Thanks!!! PS Registered for your workshop, but the email never came - tried many times.

[@televisiontastesfuny]

I can't play guitar, but I love watching these videos! It's fun to see what a brilliant musician you are.☺

[@CalisthenicsClinic]

Awesome video! Get to surprise my parents one night with some gypsy kings! thank you. At half speed this video is perfect for me 😆

[@ll1881ll]

You are an excellent guitar teacher

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

[@satyakiguha5652]

You are such a good teacher !!!

[@felikssutskever9429]

You are the most valuable guitar player on you tube!!!!

[@skaragozian]

Very thorough lesson on Rumba rhythm technique Very well explained thx 🙏 much ℹ learned something useful tonight 👍🏼🙏😇🎶

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

I’m glad!

[@MAJESTICJAKE]

Great lesson! I’ve always struggled with playing different strumming patterns but this is the first time I’ve heard something explained/demonstrated well enough to easily follow along! Thanks for the help and God Bless!

[@judwatkins9478]

This is a valuable set of guitar techniques and yes, almost universally applicable in Spanish guitar music. Thanks, Scot!

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

Thank you!

[@miguelcesaroliveira3448]

Thank you for breaking the right hand up, easier than it seems...I was at a wedding in Spain last week and a trio with cajon, keyboard and a nylon acoustic killed it with rumba, everyone on the dance floor!

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

Cool, this is just one of a million ways to play this! Those guys in Spain tend to do a downstroke on the "and of 2" to bring out that accent, but it confuses most people. Thanks for watching!

[@cyrilmoussoki3193]

Scot, you are a magician

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

You misspelled musician 😆

[@johnroberts1141]

Cool lesson, stopped acoustic some years ago for electric, but will do this again... just need the time😊

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

You can do both!

[@mikemahin]

Wow, thank you for your videos. They are excellent and you are an excellent player and teacher.

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

Thank you! What do you like more, the Spanish/flamenco videos or the other ones on music theory, etc?

[@mikemahin]

@@TheVersatileGuitarist : like to learn tremolo and some good songs, mostly Spanish.

I’m very interested in the Brazilian Bossa form, but when I look on your site I don’t see any bossa nova courses. Which one covers in depth what is introduced in this video? I’m willing to join, but I want to focus on bossa nova. Thanks

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

In my membership I have some bossa material and some Bossa solo arrangements as well, but if you’re really into that you should sit tight until I release the second volume of my ultimate nylon string guitar guide which will focus extensively on the bossa nova beat (volume one teaches you all the nylon techniques and ends with an entire module on how to play the rumba… Which sets you up rhythmically for bossa nova in my opinion.

[@roscoej]

@@TheVersatileGuitarist Thanks! I viewed your Top 5 Bossa Nova Songs video, and I’ve loved songs like Corcovado, Girl from Impanema, Wave and Black Orpheus for many years. I’m an experienced player and wanted to dive in with tabs and chord charts, but I’ll be patient! PS. I really enjoyed your playing!

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

@@roscoej did you download the free tabs for the bossa video? When you do that you’ll end up on my mailing list and I’ll be sending you other free stuff and notifying everyone when that new course is ready

[@davedave3909]

At last rumba strumming pattern simplified. Thanks

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

You're welcome!

[@RonaldRademaker]

Do I need a flamenco or a classical guitar to learn and play gypsy kings music?

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

Classical guitar is fine…

[@TheFarmhousePaintandSip]

Awesome!

[@silviocristiane6561]

❤ muito bom suas aulas Brasil

[@TheHesseJames]

You don't have to but after a while once you've got the hang of it it sounds so much better with the slap.

[@regularbloke7410]

where do you buy your guitars from ?

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

The guitar in this video is a Francisco Navarro from Mexico. A student of mine got it for me through someone who distributes guitars in the US…

[@regularbloke7410]

@@TheVersatileGuitarist lucky you !

[@mchugh48]

do you have to do a slap?

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

No, there’s a million variations but this is the one they do most often

[@616161Ms]

amazing

[@brunomillalaf8553]

Prettty guitar, what kind is it?

That’s a Pavan flamenco negra

[@regularbloke7410]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqOXmICkjLSUpcU do you know what strumming patterns uses rhythm guitarist who is wearing glasses ?

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

That is basically the pattern that I show at 1:40 here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap7UeXqwqLWZmpY … the difference is instead of slapping on the third beat, he is quickly silencing the strings just before the third beat.

[@regularbloke7410]

[@TheVersatileGuitarist]

I will do a video on this pattern soon
