Well I just started on your 3 picado exercises and after 3 days there has been definite improvement in my technique and it has helped me already becoming much more aware of alternating my fingers from string to string. I have already noticed an improvement so I look forward to doing these exercises., so no dread there . :). You have many more techniques and exercises that I will start on as well. Thank You kind Sir for doing this for us struggling guitarist who look to improve. You are most appreciated.
@@dnick49 Thanks so much for the feedback and nice words. I’m thrilled to hear it’s been helping and you’ve been progressing! That’s the key! Happy to help 😉
Thank you so much for showing me these excellent exercises. i am adding these to my daily routine. Just subbed your channel,lotsa great stuff on it to learn.
Awesome! 👏🏼 Good luck with them, they will help you a ton if practiced properly, with good form, and not rushing the process. Glad you find my vids helpful. That’s my goal! 👌🏼
@@DavidChiriboga I will watch this lesson after that lesson only,I was just checking out the exercises.👍👍👍👍👍(gonna use these techniques in jazz,Neo soul and R&B to create something new)
@@shiv2033 Sounds great! I’m all about fusing this style of playing with other rhythms/styles. There’s a lot of that going on with Flamenco now a days...
Hi, yea I’m sorry, I never updated that link with a custom pdf. I just put my general picado beginners checklist for download. Sorry for the confusion. I should make a pdf, but since they’re very short patterns, it’s also great to just learn them from memory… but I will put this on my list to make a pdf for it to make it easier
Hi Ruben! Have you checked out my tremolo tutorial? Or did you mean, you’d like more ways than that to practice it? In that video I give some straightforward basic practice guides. ua-cam.com/video/6zwBhYEImKU/v-deo.html
@@DavidChiriboga no is haven't seen it. But I will check it out. And what I am looking for is; my tremolo is galloping and not even. And I would like balance that out.
@@Ruben1900-s1o Ok, I put the link above. Let me know if that helps. But basically, the uneven rhythm or “galloping” sound is typical when starting it out. Sometimes the intentional galloping is nice and stylistic, but you definitely want to be able to play it evenly and controlled. The simplest answer I can give you is to practice the tremolo slowly with a metronome. Don’t just put the metronome click on the downbeat, also use it to break it up into two, thus playing it like 1/8 notes. If that makes sense. Also, start with the classical tremolo which is only 4 total stokes per beat and is easier to manage than the 5 strokes per beat in the flamenco stroke. After you dee comfortable with the classical one, move to the flamenco one. Hope that helps a bit!
@@pablogonzalez-ml6rd That’s one of my favorite mics DPA 4099. I use it a lot for live recording when outdoors and it’s phenomenal! Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/a26rKg2ahm8/v-deo.html
Hi David,today I came across the 3 finger picado,now I am just confused which one to practise. Is one better than the other? or is it fine if I only do the 2 two finger picado?
Hey Shiv! So a very small percentage of guitarists actually perform with the three finger picado. I personally think it’s more confusing to use for performing. However, as a practice tool, it’s not a bad tool. As a practice tool, many guitarists do use it for technique practice, just for more finger independence. Just like it’s suggested to practice picado with other finger combinations as well like I-A or M-A, not just I-M. But for regular playing and performing, I personally think you’re fine with just 2 finger picado. But try it and see how you feel…
In this video, I’m using a DPA Guitar Mic. Phenomenal mics for recording or on-location mobile rigs. 👍🏼 You can hear me using it on location with my group in one of my last uploads.
I have played rock and metal guitar for 30 years and I'm trying to learn flamenco. My fingers will just not do this. My first finger wants to pick everything. Its worse than being a beginner!
Lol, I hear you. Super common… honestly it’s just a matter of habit, working with a ton of basics and repetition with the simple patterns to embed that repetition in your muscle memory and instinct. And it’s hard to create that connection when trying pieces or harder exercises. In short, you have to work on simple chromatic patterns or crossing open strings each day to create that habit. But don’t worry, it’ll come…
I agree, things take time, but you may be underestimating what you can do in a year. If you’re disciplined and have a plan, in one year you should see some major growth ok whatever aspect of playing you’re focusing on. If you focus on your picado for a year and don’t see any significant changes, then something is wrong with the strategy.
@@DavidChiriboga sure you are right, but some people can’t learn guitar even if they have 10 teachers you need to be talented too and guitar needs patience
@@w89mando Yes, for sure, patience is the key 👌🏼 for everyone to learn any new skill, especially guitar. 😅 I agree, natural talent can assist and make it “easier” for some, as we all learn differently, but at the end of the day, everyone needs to put in the work and consistency to progress.

Can you give me a PDF of the exercises in the video?

I play a few Spanish songs so maybe you can teach me something let's find out
Hopefully, let’s find out… 😉
practice anything you want you will be fast with time- practice can’t make you fast in one year everything needs time
