In this flamenco guitar tutorial video we review some really important fundamentals of the left hand. It gets to the very heart of how we move our arm to most efficiently deliver our hand and fingers to where they need to go. Mastery of these fundamentals is what will allow you to play the fun, flashy stuff down the road, and it’s essential if you have any tension at all in your left hand.
In the Picado (rest-stroke scales) video we look at the mechanics of playing scales, string crossing and a few exercises, and finally a Soleá falseta in triplets, 16th notes and 16th notes with sextuplets thrown in.
