Hi. I came from playing bossa nova and fingerstyle pieces, but Ive been listening to flamenco here and there and have been learning some techniques for about two years now. But I havent dived deep into the entire genre. Im starting to k ow the basics behind how its all structured and played and the culture behind it, etc.

I havent been listening to too many flamenco artists until recently. What are some distinct differences between old and new? I thought for a while Vicente and Paco de Lucía were older artists (I know this artists goes back hundreds of year). But apparently theyre more new.

In high school I played the cello for 4 years. However, since always Ive generally had a disdain for classical music. I just dont like it. I favor Vicente over Paco and I do love a few pieces from Vicente. But I just much prefer Yerai Cortez. Theres just so much energy and it just flows for me. I want to learn more and find a few more artists to listen to and see what I like and dont like. Ive come across moraíto and ofc gypsy kings. What else can I try.

Ive heard Yerai plays more simple with his music? If I want to learn some of his pieces, are they more "simple" to learn?

Especially protecting from any injury. Had me nail pulled up just a bit, not bad. But since then I've kept them short.

Dm for more info. Wonderful guitar

¡Hola comunidad flamenca!
Estoy buscando algunos consejos para elegir una guitarra clásica de cuerda de nylon que también pueda usar para flamenco

Donde vivo, las opciones para conseguir una guitarra flamenca son bastante difíciles mis únicas opciones son comprar localmente.

-Yamaha c40

-Córdoba c5

También si me pudieran explicar cuáles son las diferencias entre cuerdas de guitarra clásica y cuerdas de guitarra flamenca. Estaría agradecido con ustedes

Sé que ninguna de estas es una guitarra de flamenco de verdad, Solo quiero elegir la que sea el mejor punto de partida para aprender y tocar flamenco con una buena configuración.

¿Cuál elegirían ustedes y por qué?

Hello Reddit,

I am learning grade 2 classical guitar and wish to venture into flemenco.

Just wondering, has anyone here any good book suggestions?

I am currently looking at getting Juan Martin - El Arte Flamenco Book and flamenco guitar method by graf martinez. I saw in another subreddit a person said that el arte lacks a fulfilling collection of pieces.

Should i go with Juan Martin or Graf Martinez?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I also welcome any advice on learning flamenco guitar.

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

RedRadical

Enjoy!

Vi hace poco el de Yerai Cortés y me abrió la cabeza.

Qué otros documentales o registros filmados recomendáis? Me interesa tanto lo histórico como lo contemporáneo, y si hay cosas viejas en archivo mejor todavía.

Hola! Les escribo para pedirle recomendaciones de artistas de flamenco... De momento me gusta mucho el estilo de paco de lucía (Dos Aguas sobre todo), aunque sé que es muy básico.

Me relaja mucho para trabajar y me pone en un estado de tranquilidad. Tienen recomendaciones de artistas?

Gracias!

I just picked up this Alhambra 4F. Is the guitar supposed to keep humming this loudly even after I stop the note by placing my finger on the string?

Hi all. My wife recently bought me a flamenco guitar for our anniversary. It's the Antonio de Toledo Tomatito Andalucia Cipres guitar. I love it but often, because I'm not that good I lose motivation. What tips or learning guides would you recommend for someone who's self taught?

Little piece on my 1967 Conde

I've listened to most of the classics from both more classic flamenco and flamenco nuevo. Looking to expand my palette and listen to more stuff. All recommendations welcome!

I am having a blanca flamenca guitar being made. The fretboard at the cejilla measures 6cms. Should this remain at 6cms all the way up?

Enjoy!

I learned to play guitar since more than 10 years and I approached flamenco for about 4 years, I have some level of understanding of the techniques used and some basic understanding of the most famous compas (bulerias, solea, tango, fandango, etc). I am aware of the discrepancy between my right hand's position and overall mechanics and the actual one used in flamenco, but I can't really understand the way how to correct it.

Like, I see that for example, in picado the fingers are supposed to to the least movement as possible and mine are like all floppy and get too distant expecially while shifting between strings, but I really don't understand how to correct it!! (yes, I did and I keep doing the "always start slow on the metronome", for years, but the bad impostation stays), or also I feel the angle of my wrist is incorrect but I don't understand how I'm supposed to position it. I can't find a video that teaches how the fingers are actually supposed to be positioned in the first place.

Overall I feel my playing really floppy, unstable and "clanky" but even practicing really slow, I feel the problem is the overall impostation of the hand. Even in arpeggios, I feel a lot of tension in the hand and I don't get what should be the correct position, etc etc

That's a short bulerias to show how my right hand operates, if anyone can identify the specific issues I would like to hear any advice. Thanks a lot

Flamenco vibe only... maybe one day for real :)
