I was push to do this at 13 and I sucked but when I finally got one song sounding half way decent with no mistakes it rocketed my freestyle and chord playing and especially riff playing.

Altogether, I've played about for 35 years, mostly with a pick / combination of pick and fingers, so it was a tremendous effort to start playing only with fingers / nails. But I think I'm over the hard, beginning parts. Finally can consider moving on to making music too, with incorporating flamenco techniques. Thank you again. :-)

I've taught a lot of people. From my experience I'd say all you really need for mastery is one or two hours a week and between 7 and 15 years depending on your mind (eg age, have you learned another instrument etc). The times passing anyway. You might as well. You'll find after the first 2-3 years the practise gets a lot easier. It's much more fun when you can do a little.

I think that everything is about the appropriate choice of practice... My thumb work is quite poor, because I never made the effort to find the best practice routines for me...

@@parityviolation968 yeah! To be clear youll be pretty good after only a couple of years, less if you put the time into practise. But we're talking about mastery rather than competency. People often take this tack for some reason. The idea you need to be patient to wait 10 years is flawed. Just dont stop playing. The time will take care of itself. And after it has I put money on your thumb work being excellent. Im all for distracted practise. Its what adverts are for.

This is a great video that gives a basic demo of all the flamenco and dare I say acoustic techniques you'll ever need. He goes pretty fast but don't be scared of learning them. Once you know the names of the techniques you can google them and find slower versions to help you learn. The important part is to practice as SLOW AS POSSIBLE EVERY SINGLE DAY. And just when you think you have improved and it's easy instead of increasing the bmps like most ppl will tell you to do, do the opposite, slow it down. Slow it all down. Keep aiming for slower, more controlled, more efficient. Speed will come naturally later. Essentially we are manipulating muscle memory to create a sort of "reflex", once you get it it's not something you consciously think about as you play but something you just feel and go forward with, this is what he talks about near the end of the video when he says "put it all together". Took me 2 years of slow disciplined, 20mins a day practicing to achieve all this. Good luck folks, don't give up! Great vid Cordoba Guitars!

When you say slow, then slow it all down, could you give that in bpm as for some starting reference, like 60 -> 30 or even

This video is the reason why I started getting interested in flamenco. RIP Ben. Thank you for the present.

Ben Woods here, please let me chime in everybody. To all the people that complain that this is not 'basic' or that I'm showing off... I'm not showing off, I'm simply showing - I'm sharing my knowledge. As the title says; "Basic Flamenco Techniques". Not beginning techniques, not easy-beginner techniques. These are the basic building blocks of Flamenco guitar playing... the common techniques involved in Flamenco guitar playing. Before you can play Flamenco, you need to have a mastery of these. Flamenco is a language and these techniques are like words you need to form ideas. Yes they are difficult, Flamenco itself is extremely hard. Practice slowly. And to those of you that say I'm going through it too fast? Rewind and play again as needed, its a video. Also now youtube has the option to slow down this video (hit the gear icon). I hope this helps with your frustration. -Ben Woods

Thank you to all commentators. I haven't had such a good laugh in a long time. Just humorous reality checkers here Ben. You're a great player. Thank you for this great tutorial.

I am an experienced guitarist. I started as a kid with simple acoustic stuff and then moved on in my teens to the typical rock and metal. I went on to classical guitar because I loved the style and music. I mention all of this to demonstrate I have a good background in the instrument. So when I say this is without a doubt the best video I have ever seen in regards to the basics of the flamenco style I want it to be taken in the context of my past experience. Don't get me wrong I am not a professional musician, but honestly this is one of the best videos I have seen on flamenco technique and I don't understand why so many people find it confusing. Maybe they are new or they are unwilling to practice as this instruction is simple to follow. I have really gotten into flamenco during the lockdown and this video has helped me to understand the technique in a way that few other videos have managed. Thank you to the man in the video.

When Ben Woods says something is "hard" or "takes lots of practice", keep in mind those both translate to "impossible for mere mortals".

I cant play this fast and accurate even on my air guitar....😆😆😆

+Adam Lewis hey guys! I like you guys after 25 years of writing songs using the basic first position chords, the occasional drop D, and power chords with distortion I simply got tired of myself - even playing live was becoming a bore, and I just wasn't feeling it. Bands simply cannot be relied upon, so I came here to YT to find new ways of expression. Flamenco seems very advanced with the right hand stuff but I feel like I am learning a brand new instrument with percussive techniques, and flamenco.. glad to see I am not the only one! Oh, and I don't know how I ever got on without a loop pedal before - that thing is life changing!

What a terrific introduction from such an amazing musician. I now see why they must use nylon strings. I tried that hand wave on steel strings and about rubbed the skin off...so I think these techniques-for the most part-are specific to the type of guitar. But I will still try and learn from it. Thanks!

This guy makes this look so damn simple that made me feel I can do it too, and I'm on my first Fender play guitar lesson.

Yeah but can you play Basket Case by Green Day with power chords?? Didn't think so!..

I have literally seen hundreds of videos and bought more than 10 methods to learn flamenco and I can tell you that in this very short video you manage to summarize and capture the essence of flamenco techniques ... This is for me the best introduction video to flamenco guitar on KZread ... Thanks man for the inspiration. Cheers from Belgium :)

thank you Ben ~ what a wonderful player you are, your work has paid off! thank you for inspiring!!! all best!

To every person complaining about the difficulty: If your're not willing to put in the practice, that's your problem. Learning an instrument is difficult. If your're not willing to be diligent with your practice, then maybe it's not for you.

I only know how to poke my finger thru the guitar hole.

You should make a vid. I keep getting finger stuck in strings!

I found this lesson incredibly helpful. It was one of the best ones i found on youtube. I also watched some others to get a more rounded view and hear other opinions. I've been practicing 2 of the Rasgueados in this lesson for about 5 minutes every day for the last 2 months and i'm really getting good at them. It's sounding great. The key with learning new techniques and advancing as a guitarist is practicing Every Day. You can do it. But be honest with yourself. If you're not ready for these techniques, build up your skills some more so that you are ready. It's a life long journey. Don't be in a rush (:

This guy clearly doesn't know what basic means.

Flamenco isn't an easy genre to play. As far as "basic" goes, there are the basic techniques. It's just that these basics are quite difficult, especially for someone who has no other guitar playing experience.

Thanks for the lesson. As long as I do it slowly, no problemo. It's the speed, that's the problem. But it's the flying fingers on the left hand and whirling fingers on the right hand, that's what makes flamenco sound so fantastic.
