Finger Picking (Flamenco Style)

^^^nice dude good work....enjoyed playing it

 

btw..sorry guyz i have lost all my notes...actually my dog at it...lolz...no...i think my mom threw them away...she probably thought it was trash so....will gather up my info again...and post it soon...again i apologize..

 

well dats kinda harder than using the pick , but oh well i guess u need to practice a lot , i happen to dislike finger picking ...........

 

Finger picking sounds great and you get good speed as well skaw, but well, it's your personal opinion.

 

hay Desi, yarrrrr i tried u tips, now i m can play wid fingures , not fast but inshallah it will be. but yarrr i dont use index Fingure, i play with rest three, is it necessary to use it ??????????

Yeah, dude, the thumb for E A D strings and index finger for G, middle finger for B and ring finger for E strings. I dont think you should use your little finger while finger picking.

 

@waheed, yes, it is very important to develope your skills for da index finger..as Sharath as already pointed it out....pinky is also used in finger picking but only professionals seem to use them for now...beginners like use first develope our fingers and den move on...so keep practicing....

 

J S Bach

I got this tab from the mag "Guitar techniques" It's a very good tune
to play on classical guitar using finger picking.Don't worry abt the
timing,all the notes are 16th notes from begining to end(though there
are some exceptions)Start playing and you will know what i mean!

Code:

Any good flamenco teachers in bangalore?

I love the way they play all spanish stuff and want to learn to play all that. Does anyone know good flamenco guitar teachers in bangalore who cover techniques like rasgueado and high speed finger techniques?

Cheers. :beer:

 

You seem to know something about Flamenco. Can you tell me what the classical/Flamenco scene is like in places like Bangalore and Cochin?

Flamenco

Hey guys
I have been playing the Flamenco guitar for many years now. I'd be happy to share info with you.
Cheers

 

^We'd be much obliged if you could write up some lessons. Thanks.

 

Flamenco

I already started a thread about the left hand position for Flamenco/Classical players. I will soon add the Right hand postition and the thumb position. I woul dalso like to explain the concepts behind Flamenco songs and how they are constructed.
Cheers

 

i saw someone mention nails earlier...
dont wanna come across as being a camp kinda guy, but nails are of paramount importance in sound production... i will endeavour to write some sort of guide to nail care and shape, for classical guitar and perhaps it will be applicable to flamenco aswell, soon (exams pemitting)...

 

nice tipss;;;can any body suugest a teascher whon teach flamenco style in delh???..

 

Please make a new thread for the teacher request.

 

No offense, but this is flamenco??? Looks just like fingerpicking...

 

Query about nails

Its okay when I try the up movement with the fingers, but when I pick downwards, the nail strikes the string and the sound quality is not good. Same when I try striking upward with the thumb. I saw some training videos on youtube but in all of them the players were using the fingers to play up and the thumb down, never vice versa.

Can anyone please explain how to do this without the nails touching the string?

Also, the sound volume is much lower than while using a pick. How to increase this volume?

Thanks.

 

should i strum chords individually or at a same time
