Some hot Flamenco.

[Geoff]

I actually did this one some time ago and promptly forgot that I ever did it. If I ever put this up here, please forgive me, i just don’t recall doing that.

I really like this one because it is very Spanish and explores all the Flamenco themes including body taps , Rasgueado techniques and fast arpeggio. I make no secret of how much I love this style of music with all its Moorish and Misdle Eastern influences. Some overlap with what I do with classical and completely different to anything blues related.

For those who enjoy this kind of music. I hope you like this. Love playing this on my Yamaha Flamenco guitar 🎸

Whoa, that’s impressive. Every guitarist wants to be able to play flamenco and after trying to do it I realize it’s too hard to even come close to getting it right. But you did a fantastic job with that one. Must have taken a lot of work to get down pat.

Go slow and practice correct technique, and your abilities will dramatically improve.

[Geoff]

Thanks Michael, the strumming is something I had to learn but the scale patterns and arpeggio have a lot in common with classical.

Awesome Geoff. Loved the rasgueado and percussive tapping especially. Yes, this has all the flamenco elements and sounds so good. 👏👏🌟👏👏 Top performance! All te best! 😎🎸😎

[Geoff]

Thanks Garry.

It looked very difficult but you pulled it off well. Bravo!

Thanks Joe.

Wow, that’s Spain in all its raw, unadulterated glory. Your use of percussive techniques is truly impressive.
