Sal, thanks for the breakdown and inspiration! 74 yo next mo and will be making my first attempt at learning a flamenco piece. Your teaching provides understanding and direction that gives inspiration. Subscribed and will watch and listen for more…greetings from Huntington Beach, CA
Thank you for your comments. I'll be 73 in December. Not far behind you. I Think It's great that you're playing flamenco. Greetings from Murray Bridge, South Australia.
Really, really good teaching. I particularly liked the way you count out out the 12 beats. I really liked the way you factor in the rasgueados and arpeggios INTO those beats. Explaining how a traditional falsetta is 12 beats broken into three parts was good too. And what a llamada is and how it's only 10 beats. Of course you mentioned that the cierre is only 10 beats too. You left out the golpes, which was a strategic decision. It was nice, but this stuff makes sense after at least a month's private tuition. Then you watch videos by teachers like this one, and a smile starts to appear. Understanding is a beautiful process.
Thanks for this Sal. Really helpful. Love this book that you are working from. And your explanations make it accessible. Looking forward to the next. Thanks for recommending this book. Cheers. Susanna
I just recently started learning flamenco after one year of trying to learn fingerstyle. I am not sure if I'll be able to to this, starting out at 27 years of age. But your video's are really helpful, and this will be my first piece I will learn. Thank you very much!
I just received the Juan Martin's new version method (that I bought on your advice) and I am going to try the "First Soleares" (which is my prefered "palo") with the help of your video. In the same way, I think it could be a good idea for you playing in videos some others (or all) pieces of the book in order to complete the Juan Martin's method which has only an audio CD. Thank you very much for all your work and sharing. Greetings from France.
I wish I knew more than I do, especially music from Mexico and Brazil. I did a video song and tutorial for "Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps" which is kind of a Cuban style rumba. ua-cam.com/video/O5lDKadGeAI/v-deo.html Apart from that I can only do what I know best which is flamenco and some classical styles.
Good one Sal ! Think I’ve got it now. Thank you ! Interesting that Juan Martin did not use triplet or continuous Rasqueados much. He is certainly “text book” old flamenco style. The new Juan Martin book is identical to the 1978 version but with extra discussion about utube, the internet, etc., resulting in about 5 extra pages. You get the same poor quality photos in both printings. The page breaks, Imho, are perhaps better placed in the new version. Certainly not worth extra $$$ for the 1978 version when the new one is selling for $40.
Thanks for the info on the new edition. He does use the ocassional triplet and short continuous rasguedo bursts but I agree. Not that much. But that's OK. I soon realised that Juan Martin's style of playing is just that. A style. Juan Serrano plays rasgueados in a significantly different way and has a different traditional feel about his music. Both methods are good to learn from. I like the sound of modern flamenco players but my preference has always been the old school traditional sound. It's all good

You are very welcome
Thanks this a great help .I have had the book for many years ,finally starting to work my way through it.May have left it too late!
You're welcome. It's never too late.... for anything. Just pick up your guitar and make music. 🙂
Great teaching! Thank you very much 😊

But your video's are really helpful, and this will be my first piece I will learn.
Thank you very much!
You'll be fine. Just practice each measure slowly with a metronome and you will have it in no time.
Brilliant thanks so much for your very helpful tutorial 👌
You’re welcome 😊
Brilliant
Thank you for watching

I want to make videos of some of the pieces in the book. In no particular order. I will try to do as many as I can.
@@hersoveelaOk, thank you !
Food here for a month! I would love to see some Cuban styles treated by you, or any South American Folk genres you enjoy, in the coming months.

Hi Sal, can you tell me what is the intro chord? I began to follow your good tutorials! Thanks for share your art! Greetings from Italy 🐾🌸

It's a standard E major chord with a "hammer on" to the F note (3rd fret) on the D string. Thanks for watching my videos.
