Hola Jasón from England - and thanks mate for turning me onto Spanish guitar. Thanks to you, I added a Spaniard to my guitar collection and love the sound. I had a reached a plateau with my metal string guitar journey and you got me over it. Love your teaching style - and the band!
Headed off to Spain for a few months and while I can't hold my own with a guitar yet (I just started two months ago), I' might be able to bring something to the "mesa" thanks to you. I love your approach. Freeform is a way to create beautiful sounds -- and that's what it's all about. Thanks!
This is really great. I've only been playing 2 1/2 months, but I could follow easily and everything you did built on skills I have been developing. I feel like you've given me a supplemental way of playing with the guitar experimentally rather than always just following a rigid lesson plan or memorizing the next Etude. I really appreciate this!
I’m so glad you like it. You’ve been following the channel for a good while so you should be able to combine this with lots of other things you’ve learned! Good luck!
Love this brother! As someone who doesn’t do all the 1,3,5s and understand actual guitar theory, It’s great learning pieces to the puzzle and then getting to piece them together lol
Thank you so much, Jason! I enjoyed this lesson and understood because you broke it down patiently. I have been playing guitar now for over 3 years but have not been challenging myself. Looking forward to learning Spanish-style with your lessons. Many thanks!
Awesome! I am 47 years old and started playing guitar this year. I have only ever played the bagpipes many years ago. Every time I get tired of learning/practicing chords or trying to get my sausage fingers to manipulate the strings properly, I jump on and find one of your videos. It recharges me and gets me so motivated when I hear "the beautiful" sounds coming from my guitar with my sausage fingers! Thank you!
Also yet another beautiful lesson. I think a big part of what makes you sound a little different from the flamenco players is you use a classical guitar, with the much darker and deeper tones, unlike the very bright flamenco guitars, which can sound deep, and do, but not like the classical guitar. The flamenco without timing is the, according to the professional flamenco player, Juan Martin, is called in Spanish, 'Toque Libre', or play free, meaning outside of the compass, such as a rumba. Cheers mate, best regards from Europe:)
I'd like you to show how you do that fast strumming with your hand and show the technique you use and break it down would be great if you could. But hey great vid thanks
An incredible lesson Jace ! I Love it ! A mix of everything to build more on! Wish I were not so busy at work or I'd give this a try (my guitar is right behind me-where I go, so does my guitar, I WFH). What if tossing in a G chord after the Am? Work out the same or close, notes on the G string to expand? Just an idea to expand the chord progression. Thanks for the Awesome Inspiration ! I shall being looking for it on Patreon !
Hi Paul yes that’s exactly right. Including the G and F chords from the “Andalusian cadence” will be perfect. As somebody who has been playing for a while, you will have many tricks you can include in this concept. This is just the most basic version- keep adding to it! Well done!
@@JasonJohnContos CONGRATS Bud! It's a roller coaster ride with lots of twists and turns, but a ride that you will never regret getting on! Unlike the guitar journey, HA! Wishing you both (and little one) the best!
Thank you so great 👍. I know this is for beginners but would love if you also added in the note names. It might sound weird but after you know the freght board 0310 is a little confusing lol. Maybe it's just me . Thanks again 👍
I mentioned which strings we were playing on. It shouldn’t be too hard to understand. I often use note names too. It’s hard to teach on UA-cam because everybody viewing is at a different level of understanding!
Thank you! I got some compliments on these tunes after just 30 mins of practicing! I am looking to upgrade from my $300 yamaha classical- can you recommend a make/model? What kind of guitars are the ones you paint?
Hello I highly recommend Admira Guitars. Yamaha do also make some excellent nylon string instruments at various price points. Just play a few until one really speaks to you.
This is a great lesson, love the sound. I'd be beginner/intermediate guitar and came across your channel while looking for different songs to learn. Now I'm looking for a nylon string guitar.. lol.. any make/model suggestions?, Sub'd
Thanks! Love the possibilities!
Thanks for taking the time to share what you know to be true on this style of guitar playing. Fun for real!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching :)

I liked the subtle zoom in on the flamingo painting, I see you camera person ;)
She will be very honoured to hear it!
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks again Jason for the informative lesson.
Great to hear! There’s lots more similar lessons on my channel :)

Jason is a master of guitar teaching, and far too humble :))

Great lesson Jason, thank you very much!

I keep stringing these 'simple' lessons together and it allows me to sit and improvise for long periods of time. It's endless. Thanks, Jason!
So fun experimenting with those chords. Thanks!
I could just see a beautiful Spanish girl dancing to your music 🎵 great lesson Jason thank you 🙏
Jason, you never disappoint me. Great lesson.

Ah yes my ugly flamingo painting. I love it ;)
Great lesson, well done!
Great lesson ,Thanks a lot , just found u ! Time to dust off my old nylon string guitar 😊
Really like your teaching style. Great for encouraging creativity, rather than just ‘play this song like this’
Das wahr wieder einmarlich Gigantisch
Great lesson , a nylon string classical guitar is the way to go. Another great lesson.

Wife unit seems to be operating optimally. My wife unit is scheduled to deliver baby girl unit in Mid- May. Stand by for updates.
