If you've played very little flamenco guitar or none at all, this beginner course is perfect for you. You will learn the basics such as holding the flamenco guitar, correct posture, right hand techniques; rasgueados, alzapua, etc. and all the comprehensive exercises covering the fundamentals of guitar playing.
With over 25 years of teaching experience, maestro Adam del Monte breaks down all the fundamental and abstract concepts making it easy and enjoyable for the beginner to grasp with a solid understanding and correct method of work.
All techniques such as arpeggios, free stroke, rest stroke and tremolo, have their origin in the classical guitar developed in the 18th and 19th century. There have been cases where we see remnants of flamenco concepts in the more 'mainstream' guitar literature such as in some Fernando Sor pieces, where there are specific instructions to use rasgueados.
Flamenco guitarists took all those techniques and adapted them to their own musical environment, which is much more rhythmic in nature.
We look forward to having you join our growing family of flamenco guitar players. Valle!
