In this video we look at some abstract, but very important, concepts of time and rhythm. First we look at how measures and compass are organized, then we look at how beats are subdivided.
We look at how to feel the compás of Soleá before even picking up a guitar learning some palmas (handclap) patterns. Palmas are the original percussion instrument in flamenco and an essential part of the music and the culture.
We learn some of the chords that we’ll need to start playing flamenco!
Now that we’ve learned some chords and we’ve learned the basic compás of Soleá we start putting it all together on the guitar!
