Learn the flamenco guitar thumb-index technique aka the pulgar-indice technique in this beginner guitar lesson video from Howcast.
Hi, I'm Dan Garcia. I'm going to explain to you how I did this technique called pulgar-indice, which means thumb index.
Okay, we said in the previous video that the thumb will always play a rest stroke technique, okay? Coming from the wrist, to get as much sound as possible. Now what I'm doing with my index is for every thumb note I play, I play an index on the upbeat.
Thumb this note, I play the index, and since your index should always be leaning on the first string, it's a pretty easy technique to tackle, so thumb, index up. Thumb down, index up. Okay, the best way to practice this is really doing some kind of chromatic scales.
Something like this, speed it up as you feel comfortable with the technique. Then what I was playing before was just a simple Malaguena Compas. Thumb index, have fun playing that.

Straight to the point. Single focus. I think Garcia interviewed BB king on video. I'm starting late after years on keyboards. Dan helps alot, and flamenco has broken open my whole approach to all guitars. I had to watch all these actually to understand how the genre works at a basic level. I was struggling with many other popular teachers in my first weeks.

Best teacher on you tube. I like you man.. You have nice style to us.. Thanks for sharing such a nice video..... Handsome live long...

[@EleftheriosEleftheriadis-ps3by]

Please, let me know, in this technique, does the index also touch the string before or just only on the string stroke?

[@StellarJAGuar]

Should I practice chromatic scale with the other 5 strings or just the first 3?
