    Your explanations/examples are incredibly clear. Not everyone (in fact few) can explain things this well - there’s an art to communicating, just as much as there’s an art to playing. So glad I found your channel!

    I've studied stringed instruments by myself all my life. The flamenco was so elusive and inaccessible (much like jazz) that it made me change my ways and start paying for lessons and courses on flamenco guitar. But I'll say this, I've learned more with this one video than i have from most lessons i took in the past. Thank you, master!

    I got my first guitar in 1961. I have a collection of about 40 and have built 8. I also dabble in Oud and banjo. I just got serious about Flamenco 3 months ago.

    I appreciate your lessons and multi-stylistic guitar playing. I'm new to Flamenco but have played classical and other styles of guitar for years. Compared to classical guitar, Flamenco seems crude to me in some ways, like music for the peasants and common folk of Spain. The fingering seems arbitrary and awkward. But maybe that is my bias, and I don't agree with all the fingering of Segovia or other such Enlightened Despots of the guitar. Fingering is very personal. There are a lot of excellent qualities with Flamenco: passionate, experimental, aggressive, virtuosic speed, etc. And it reminds me of rap music in that it seems very macho, streetwise, and tough-minded for the guitar players, but is there a softer side? Something delicate? I would think that like the blues, a lot is about some hard time or other - being rapped over by the next conqueror of Spain, whether capitalist, Aristocrat, or Moor. Spain has a terrible history that way. Again I could be terribly off the mark, but this is my impression. The common man's tale can be very harsh - usually about standing up to some overlord and trying to find dignity in the midst of human suffering. Flamenco seems very romantic in today's age of all things new and the fetish for gadgetry. It's a carryover from another time. I like it for that reason. And, like you, I enjoy playing many different guitar styles. I really liked the PDF, and it's a very good introduction to Flamenco. Keep up the good work!

    • @TheVersatileGuitarist
      @TheVersatileGuitarist  Рік тому

      Thanks for your thoughtful comment. Flamenco can seem harsh sometimes (but I like that!) especially the old traditional style of playing, but in the more modern flamenco you’ll find players that are much more nuanced and subtle in their approach and attack on the strings. I think the flamenco techniques that we still use come from a time when the guitarist had to produce as much volume as possible unamplified over the noise of dancers and singers.

    • @countvlad8845
      @countvlad8845 Рік тому

      @@TheVersatileGuitarist Yeah, that makes sense when Flamenco existed before today's technology. Now you can mic the guitar to a PA system. Incidentally, had to correct the word “masochistic” to “macho” in my description... technology tries to correct and/or add words that sometimes you really don't mean. Yes, whacking the guitar is natural for that style of percussive, passionate music. However, I just bought a classical guitar that was beaten senseless with tons of nail marks on the surface near the sound hole. It didn't have a pick guard. I feel sorry for the guitar, though it still has a rich, warm tone. The guitar was made by a luthier (De Jonge) back in 1978. I treat my guitars like women at times and this one was abused. Very unfortunate - and I'm not suggesting Flamenco guitarists beat the guitar like they would beat a woman. I know that the Flamenco guitars have pick guards that protect the guitar. Anyway, nice talking to you.

    • @TheVersatileGuitarist
      @TheVersatileGuitarist  4 місяці тому

      It has nothing to do with the tuning, in olden times it was just to be able to adjust the pitch of the song easily to accommodate the singer’s voice. Over time we realized that it actually makes it easier to play and in this A phrygian and key There are some stretches we often do that the capo facilitates. But if the song says to play a capo on a certain fret you could easily just not have a capo at all it doesn’t matter
