I've been trying for quite awhile to sweep using fingerstyle. Thank youuuuu this is the only tutorial series I've ever seen that's really interested me. Thank you
You are so gracious in sharing these techniques! Most want to hide them and keep 'em secret or make it so gosh darn hard; you don't even want to bother! This make the learning manageable and helps us put a good effort forward! Rather than just poor effort, because we are fumbling and just loss of time! Thank you again!
a truly great series of vids Ben... been a fan for a while.. but this series really nailed it for me... could not be better... at the right level... intelligently graded... speeds perfect... explanation perfect.. If I ever get to the US I'm gonna buy a Corvette Stingray and come and see you play wherever you are playing...
My pleasure Sean! And if you are interested, I'm doing live weekly guitar lessons. Which are extremely affordable: ua-cam.com/video/9otJrr2KLg8/v-deo.html
Funny how I never studied flamenco, but straight out of the box my guitar teacher at the time insisted that I learned to fingerpick these patterns following a pattern of D, C and G and even suggested several different patterns. Guess there's the reason why I always felt more comfortable using fingerpicking instead of a regular pick (and why I even started using my own finger as a placeholder pick when I forgot it). Feels way more natural, although it hurts a lot in steel-strings and electric guitars. Still can't do a damn fingersweep, that stuff takes tremendous coordenation from down to up. Jesus.
I could play ascending/descending arpeggios, but then I started learning tremolo and now arpeggios are from hell lol. Got too used to plucking single string that became kinda unnatural to do this stuff with 3 strings. Anyhow. Good videos, sir. Thank you.
Not claiming to be any good, but I use something sort of like this sweep, but with "pizzicato"/(palm mute) across a standard B major barre chord in 7th position to play the ascending three octave B major arpeggio that closes the theme part of "Leyenda"/Asturias. So there you go. . . *sweep picking classical guitar*.
Thanks. That's awesome! I hope you like it, I sure do. If you got it online, please submit a review, on that store's site, there's not too many reviews of it yet. Thanks again and good luck!
Dear Ben I see different hand positions between flamenco players, and hence as yours which makes me think which one is really correct, for example I see great flamenco players how they position their right hand perfectly vertical to the strings and also definitely before Rosette and yours which is more like the pop or classic players, can you please explain which one we need to follow for practicing flamenco?
They are all correct. It really depends on the individual, since everyone's body is different size and shape. Just do what is the most comfortable and eventually your hand will find it's sweet spot.
Alot of these techniques you don't use your right pinky. I like travis picking and with travis picking they always say anchor your pinky on the guitar below the strings. Would it limit my playing if I anchor the pinky with these techniques?
I have a request sir. Would it be possible for you to show top view or pov shot so that i can compare my position. I have struggled with barres wen i place guitar on right leg instead of left
Not to nitpick here, but as with your tremolo you're not resting your thumb on the next string ready to play it. My flamenco teacher spent a good couple of years drilling this into me again and again until it became second nature.
Even though he is no longer with us, Ben is an inspiration and lives on. He was an awesome instructor and musician
If I may say. We will never stop learning from him. Awesome Indeed!
Ben Woods inspires me to be the best guitar player I can be!
your awesome Ben!!!!!

Its great! Thanx!
After practicing for how many days with picado and Tremolo should we add arpeggio ???
Thanks 🙏❤🙏
Awesome videos; by the way, just bought the Ortega Ben Woods model guitar. It's really a nice instrument!

@@BenjaminWoods thanks a lot 😃
U a beast ben😁

I’m trying to help my kids, what are the 6 strings tuned to to begin with?
I have a request sir. Would it be possible for you to show top view or pov shot so that i can compare my position. I have struggled with barres wen i place guitar on right leg instead of left
thanks this is truly effective
If Ben fell in the woods would it make a sound😀
Thanks .. I always miss the index while doing Arpeggio .. any advice ?
Do it slow with a metronome and educate your muscle memory, then progressively do it faster. Be sure your right hand is placed correctly as Ben shows.
Ben what string tension do you use (normal, high, etc) ?
Pls tell how to set up metronome for this..my one shows some ratio..which ratio should I play this in?
Click of metronome for every pluck of the thumb
@@BenjaminWoods thanx a lot sir..really appreciate your quick reply.

Thanks Bill for pointing that out.
