I always use this video to show students of mine how cool that style of playing is ..now I just saw in the comments that Ben passed away. Shocked. RIP Ben, what a talented player you were 🙏
Hello Ben. I'm buying me the Cordoba Mini M that I watched you Demo on. Then I want to follow and learn from you. I've always liked Flamenco and Latin music. I remember a song called Granada sung by Trini Lopez back in the 60s. The guitar strum is so tight, it plucks the strings of my heart. I look forward to following and learning from you. Kiaora (greetings) Ben.
Hi Ben, I'm shopping for a cutaway flamenco guitar. I"m leaning towards the Cordoba 45FCE cutaway. would this be a good choice? thx for your advice Erdinç
When I watch your videos, I always wonder if your right hand hurts. Especially, is the thumb nail not painful? Most of electric guitar players use picks made of polymer material, except of Jeff Beck, Mark Knopfler and etc, as you Know. I think your playing style is interesting because you play many hard rock songs by using flamenco guitar techniques.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 rock wasn't even a thing when flamenco was "invented". I'm quoting it because flamenco was originated in Spain around the 18th-19th centuries as a consequence of a mixture between Muslim, Jewish and Christian cultures and many other ethnicities in southern Spain. It has nothing to do with rock music, which originates from blues, which at the same time originates from the music sang by the African slaves in the United States. Why would you think flamenco has anything to do with rock anyway? I'm genuinely curious. Apart from that, it's not a folkloric music either although it is highly influenced by Spanish traditional music. Flamenco is a genre of music itself.
@@marvinthemaniac7698 there are many fast paced genres which aren't related to rock either. However, flamenco has many subgenres (called "palos") that are slow paced, such as soleá, malagueña, granaína, taranto, martinete... Maybe you haven't heard much about flamenco. Search for stuff in Spanish, not in English. Here is an example of a soleá. ua-cam.com/video/U9iw1gMVoO0/v-deo.html If you wanna check out some fast paced genres, search for "bulerías" or "bulerías Paco de Lucía". Best wishes
@@BenjaminWoods yeah I love mine I tried the negra and also the pro nice but but I love my gk studio as well you should do more videos with it. Do some bulerias, solea ect so more rumba stuff but over all I'm a big fan.
Dude was such a talent. RIP Ben

Is flamenco considered a subgenre of folk rock?
Not at all
@@lf6352 then what could it be?

@@lf6352 it's fast paced just like rock music, that's why.

After this you must watch my parody of flamenco guitar lessons "HÅKAN WIKELL Guitar lesson Technique Basic Spanish Flamenco"
wow
not fair that you have enough subscribers
🙏🌹🌙
it is a reupload ;/
Which guitar is this is it the gk studio?
Yes, GK Studio, my favorite of the entire Cordoba line.
@@BenjaminWoods yeah I love mine I tried the negra and also the pro nice but but I love my gk studio as well you should do more videos with it. Do some bulerias, solea ect so more rumba stuff but over all I'm a big fan.
😘😘😘😘😘
THAT is the roots of rock guitar.
For me you are more cool with that long hair,,,nuce sir
You wanna get fast and really shred? Learn flamenco and classical guitar formally for at least 5-8 years. No joking.
e essa cabeleira?
Great hair! hehehe
I didn't recognise...
That hairstyle....)))
Every good guitarist has a long hair phase
Wtf...
I can barely play metal arpeggios
That's it, I'm bad at guitar
Practice practice practice and don’t give up
Player 1 died !
Basic give up Guitar techniques
А слабо сыграть Дидюлю )))
Bro play it slowly
Great guitarist but promoting the wrong guitars, these things are crap made in china and they dont last, they fall apart and are over priced.
Excellent .
