- Flamenco Guitar Alegrias in a minor key, written by yours truly, Tabs & Notation available: sellfy.com/ben... Alegrias (meaning happiness) is usually played in a major key, and is a very cool, structured Flamenco dance form in 12/8 time with lots of different parts and moods. And although I love playing the happy Alegrias for dancers over the past 20 years, it's always been kind of a drag to practice. To me it feels a little corny or cheesy, it's just not my style. So I did something about it, I rewrote my falsettas and letras in a minor key. You may notice I have replaced some of my picado and alzapua runs with 'Alternail' technique. It's becoming a more comfortable alternative for me.
This piece has all the parts to a traditional Alegrias dance number:
Entrada, letra (por romanze), remate, letra tradicional, remate, silencio, escobilla, bulerias de Cadiz, cierre. Except now they are all in a minor key. Any true Flamenco singer, dancer or guitarist is aware of these parts and how they work.
The guitar I'm playing is my signature BWSM2 (Made in Spain) by Ortega guitars and designed to my specs. I recorded it direct with it's built-in electronics using 50% mic and 50% pickup. For more info on it see: ortegaguitars....
It's available now at www.guitarcente... and www.musiciansfr... and www.thomannmusi... (Europe)
The fantastic sounding solo compas track playing in the background I got from Antonio Gil's UA-cam channel. They are great to practice to. / @guitarraantoniogilfla...

I've come back to this song so many times. It is absolutely brilliant.
I don't know what to watch, the right hand or the left it's just so amazingly good. I guess I'll just watch again and again and again I certainly don't mind.
you have two eyes,
Whoa!! There is some amazing and complicated playing going on there. 😁 🎸🎸
Those ones has a dark essence that I love
I adore you, I love your original music, I love how you interpret it, I love your guitar, you are a wonderful and brilliant man. Thank you!
I could listen to you play forever.
Até então pra mim tu és o melhor bravo
Incredible. Everything you post is incredible.
This sound like the moment in a movie where its just before the final objective and the characters are going over the plan one last time before commiting the act.
Grand Salute to you from India
this is so frickin' awesome!!!!...my god, these melodies are just waiting for me to choreograph to :)
Bravo
Amazing ... watched more than 50 times
Just love your playing 😍😍
That was absolutely amazing! As the first movement began to slow I was thinking, "No, that's too short." ...then the second movement began and I thought, "YES! Double feature!" ...and of course my eyes were having fun with me when I first read the title as "Minor Allergies".
This is my favorite ❤️
Like ridiculously good
As alwayzzzzz greatt.....
A different feel in your playing,emotionally take me to somewhere out of my bodyy...🙏🙏🙏
I commented on your videos under a few different accounts, and I have been following you for almost two years now. Every song you write is well done. I love your musical style and how you can incorporate classical, Spanish, and metal all into a single song. Not only that, you also have your surf rock influences too.
You are the guy that inspired me to get a nylon string, and your technique videos helped me out a whole bunch when I was getting started with fingerstyle.
Anyways, I keep coming back to this song. You've outdone yourself with this one! Keep it up!
Once again Ben woods ladies and gentleman
I love your playing style man. What would I give to be able to play even half that well....
Ecstatic....thank you Benwood.

Yes I have tabs available. I almost forgot, I included this very song in my latest album with a different name, but every note is in there. sellfy.com/benwoods/p/fy1fys/
Probably the best piece i‘ve ever heard 😍 is it available on iTunes or so?
Now imagine how good this would sound in a really good guitar.
I would like to buy the notes with tabs!
Any chance of you covering “Reflejo de Luna” by Paco de Lucia, Ben? Awesome work by the way!
Nice solo BEN. I like your guitar tone.
ORTEGA is best You use its real value .
Where can i learn this, i need to know the minor key 😔
Can you please in the next video play to us pharaon
Every time I tune in, I am impressed. When you play, I see the emotion flow out of the sound. Absolutely astounding! But! PLEASE get a young, enthusiastic director to spice up the videography. The playing is hard to improve upon. The cinematic quality needs to be brought up to the same level. Rock on Ben!
