Attention players, thousands and thousands of hours practicing is why Grisha makes this look effortless.

[@JR-ld1et]

He practices 37 hours a day LoL

[@JR-ld1et]

Dang this is a good video tho . Hes meticulously working on each not on sequence turning it into a series of badassery

[@scottanderson6807]

But he was amazing as a kid, before the thousands of hours. A gift not wasted.

[@themysteryofmusic]

​@@scottanderson6807no, when you see him as a kid, he already had 7000+ hours in

[@palpalonpalpalon]

he said he practice so much as a kid on hes picado even the greatest master of flamenco guitar paco de lucia practice 14 hours everyday@@scottanderson6807

[@Grisha_Goryachev]

You can start these exercises from a finger of your choice in the right hand, but ALWAYS alternate. The number of notes in this scale (from G on the 1st string to E on the 6th string) works out so that if you alternate, you will start and end the run with the same finger. When adding notes back in the first exercise, calculate the starting finger so that you always end the run on the same finger.

Robert Brawley I agree. The volume is a bit low

Robert Brawley get a better phone. I can hear him perfectly.

[@AndreasKaesler]

Hi Grisha, what do you think about the special picado technique which Rafael Cortes uses? It's a kind of "economy picado" similar to the sweep picking technique when you use a pick. I tried it for a while but then put it aside, but Rafael gets insane speed with it, still with a good tone. What's your opinion?

[@ManusNoble1988]

You didn't miss a single right hand note in the whole video. Astounding!

[@PieterDave]

this dude is a machine. damn

One might even think he was a professional musician😊

I could never thank you enough maestro grisha for teaching so many nice picados... You are a wonderful person and great guitarrist of our times.

[@archie644]

Fantastic lesson, really simple to learn and well explained. I tried this out today and found improvements in speed and accuracy almost instantaneously! Thanks for the really informative videos, it's so rare to have someone of your calibre give such indept insights into technique etc. Without the constant push to like and subscribe, buy this guitar mastery package and so on! Thanks again for your generosity!

[@Carbonator5000]

Thank you so much for posting this! You’re most generous with sharing your exercises. I love your playing and it inspires me to play too!! ❤️🎼

[@scotthayes-nylonstringguit8592]

Thanks so much for taking time to post these videos. It is such a great asset to be able to learn from a master. I actually fumbled through the first exercise slowly and was gradually able to play it faster after about 10 attempts. I then did the descending phrygian run and was shocked at how much easier, faster, cleaner and smoother I was able to to play it. This exercise does EXACTLY what you say it will.

[@StevenBrener]

This is just a great exercise. I’m definitely going to make this part of my warm up. Thank you so much!!!

[@robertoq125]

Thank you Master Goryachev for that exercise! I did it and now try to do with other scales or phrygian in other keys; i see that u begin always a descending run with the m finger. Have a nice day

Mr. Goryachev makes It seems so easy... The timbral of your guitar is incredible! Thank you for the video!

[@sisopescu]

Super lesson. Thanks Grisha! My observations of the first exercise are, you always start the descending run with the 'm' finger, but alternate between 'i' and 'm' on the ascending run. I guess one could try any finger combination with these exercises.

[@loicreeves]

Thank you Grisha

There is no reason why masters shouldn't be sharing their expertise on KZbin. What could be better than having more Flamenco Guitarists in the world to work off. People shouldn't be scared of teaching others their skills. Thank you Grisha

[@sanchitjain5591]

Being an intermediate player, my feedback is- it would be great if you can teach more on the right hand finger position and movements, like how can build endurance and position them and all. All in all a great video thou, 😊

[@user-uj9sj1hf5c]

Grisha Goryachev I think there are not many knowledgeable teachers like you Grisha,THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO PLAY WELL BUT THEY CAN NOT EXPLAIN HOW TO PLAY IT

[@oseias88]

Fantástico...

[@arielpuig7302]

It would be helpful too if you teach how to do it, most people are going to practice with bad technique no matter what the exercise.

[@bitupanbarua]

great

[@Bluums]

4th day of doing the 1st exercise, really helping me clean up my picado! I think it’s extra valuable to play it staccato (muffling the target note with the next finger), it helps with right hand finger coordination and accuracy. Today I’m going to implement the 2nd exercise in my practice routine. Thanks, Grisha!

[@beatricer1414]

Dear Grisha! Thanks for your phantastic video lessons! Very useful and very clear. My question: Is the Apoyando from classical guitar same like Picado...or do we have to change something in finger position?

in case he dont see your comment...basically yes

[@raegitano6345]

Hi maestro!

[@sajza1728]

Thanks for the video! Do you also do online classes?

[@user-uj9sj1hf5c]

the middle joint of the finger can not press and work as a push on the string the metacarpal joint presses but my mistake was that I pressed with all my finger and then the middle one after pressing slipped on the nail it turned out that I did two movements instead of one common as you said from in the old video about picado video school put your finger on the string press your finger on the string and release the string with all your finger but not the middle one slide on the nail and let go

[@Anriuko]

You should use the middle joint of the finger, it's the fastest and most precise motor in your hand. Of course you can't use it in isolation from everything else, but it should be the primary actuator and all extra movements should be pruned out to reduce tension.

[@labrujadeleste]

hi there, do you recommend the use of metronome for this exercises or it is just at my top speed each time?

[@uncleoky]

No metronome with this exercise. I know it from an other picado tutorial of Grisha.

[@bernieboi8943]

First time actually rly trying this.. but my fingers ( right hand ) keep getting confused. Do i just need to practice the run slowly untill its in my muscles/fingers

[@user-uj9sj1hf5c]

hello Grisha Goryachev I reviewed the video of the school of Pumping Nylon diego salveti and your video and indeed everyone is talking about pressing the string and even you are talking about it )))but what I've learned from all of this is 1)the nail is at the level of the pads and the shape of the finger pads is slightly higher than the level of the pads 2) the nail is closer to the string even in tight 3) at the same time, I noticed that when pressing the string, the entire finger presses and the entire finger is released and not the middle joint pulls back after pressing the entire finger 4)))and the middle joint cannot press the string and the metacarpal presses and works the entire finger )))if I'm wrong you can correct me )))

[@andywilson1985]

Такой вопрос: во фламенковой музыке линейные пассажи почти всегда играются этим приемом. А вот бразильские гитаристы чаще играют их тирандо(возможно ошибаюсь). Есть ли какие то особенности в прокачке пассажей на тирандо или это абсолютно те же упражнения что и для пикадо ?)

[@nevechris1032]

What do you do with the right hand? Is it a rest stroke? Anything special, besides alternating ?
