Seguiriyas con palmas

[joshuanesbit]

where is the backing track from

[delboy1978uk]

@joshuanesbit its a cd called todos los compases

[prnvalium]

Mine is starting to sound less embarrassing at 150bpm. I have to post it up here by the end of next week because I'm a bit tired of practising gloomy seguiriyas and want to practise some nice cheerful allegrias.

[delboy1978uk]

excellent!

yeah seguiriyas is funny, you have to be in the mood, but when you are you just keep playing it! ... :-D

[ericlarkins]

Wow, what a joy to see! Someone practicing properly: slow enough to insure the technique and notes are correct WHILE actually listening AND counting - BRAVO!!!

What are you using for nails and how are you keeping from beating them up with your golpe work?

[delboy1978uk]

wow just noticed your comment so sorry for not replying sooner!

thanks very much!

as for my nails, they're pretty short, i can't grow them without breaking them, but after a while i find i dont really need them to be long because i always play from where the finger and nail meet anyway!

[ryanman51]

where did u get the flamenco compas metronome?

[delboy1978uk]

thats a cd but go to the foroflamenco site and join the forum, they allow you to download free flamenco metronome software for your pc!

[ryanman51]

wow thats a cool site, thanks alot

[rombsix]

It's coming along mate! Just be patient, practice slowly, and you'll be the next PdL in no time! ;)

[delboy1978uk]

thanks! with a bit of luck! ;-)

[wishbone103]

Excellente me amigo.  Bravo!

Bravo!

[delboy1978uk]

thanks!

[wishbone103]

Delboy! Where did you get that metronome that sounds like clapping. I want to get one. Also, What kind of mike do you use? Mine pops.

[delboy1978uk]

you can get the cds from a website called sonidoflamenco, or, for a free metronome program called flamenco master, register with the flamenco forum foroflamenco :-)

I just use the mic in my camera! :-s

[thedopemaster]

thats a nice tip ! :)

[dajerade]

Your right hand technique is improving, that's for sure. Try to minimize the movements, let the pulgar flow from your wrist, not the elbow ;)

[delboy1978uk]

will do, thanks for the tip! :-D

[uncleparsnip]

great technique delboy.....you have improved a lot.

nice one

[delboy1978uk]

thanks uncleparsnip! :-D

[AnchoriteProductions]

Excellent Derek! I know you have a capo on the third fret here, but I was wondering why Flamenco players routinely capo the guitar on the first fret. Any idea? Thanks for the vid! -Derek

[delboy1978uk]

apparently it lowers the action on the rest of the neck, or so i was told. but i think traditionally each form his its own key, but there's nothing stopping you playing it elsewhere. i dunno! :-s

[pacodegarcia]

Ole Derek, sounding great amigo for me your best so far. great to see and hear you develop as a guitarist and a musician. Ole

[delboy1978uk]

thanks very much! i thought so too, glad you agree! :-D

[hichem1000]

[PhunkyCat]

hey did u know i can clap in compas? and dance flamenco tooo....just ask me and i will post a video for u...or maybe we can do a collaboration video? haha it would be muy bien mi amigo..

your flamenco really inspires me..hey one question: do u have a golpeador for your flamenco guitar? i cannot see any tapguard in the vid...just curious:)

love u man

~gabriella

[delboy1978uk]

thanks!

and yes i have a set of golpeadors, i bought a normal scratch plate before then but i took it off as i was still getting nail marks in the wood :-0 ok now though :-)

[druhjt]

Hi Dereck !! i see you dont stop playing. I like it, but if you want to give seguiriyas more sense: accentuate the last time with a 'golpe', and when you play rasgueado iam , you may try iamii, first time, and repeat it on the 3th, and 4th time ... well i dont know if i explain ok, i'll try to share something, im busy these days.

Salud amigo !!!

[mohflamenco]

wow ^^ very nice play ;) your sound is very clean and well 5*

[stargate6t2]

Fantastic! Love it. Keep it up.

[delboy1978uk]

thanks very much! i think the palmas really helped me put more dynamics in it than before. thanks again!

[lonewolfshogun]

awesome

[delboy1978uk]

thanks lonewolf!

[lonewolfshogun]

that was a world record responce time lol

[delboy1978uk]

pretty fast huh?

[colchicmu]

That was so beautiful. but should you play this all alone? It is my question, because it is Flamenco!

[delboy1978uk]

well no-one else here can clap in compas, so it looks like i'm on my own!

[elmaroquinole]

very nice derek, you impressed me, good work!!

great progress in your playing!

"tienes una grande pena" la seguirilla negra :)

[delboy1978uk]

muchas gracias amigo!

[PaulSaywood]

Great stuff Derek, it's great to see you play something so different from myself.

A question for you:

Is this the full tempo or has it got to go any faster yet?

Thanks buddy

Paul

[delboy1978uk]

well thats the tempo but im sure when i learn more falsetas etc i can add faster parts etc. there are more seguiriyas later on in the book so i would guess so but look up seguiriyas on youtube and you'll find far superior versions than mine with a lot more variations etc

thanks paul

derek

[PaulSaywood]

I hope you don't think I was criticising, I'd not heard this before and I was just curious. This is a damned difficult style to master, I want you to know that I think you are doing a great job.

Thanks dude

:)

[delboy1978uk]

not at all! actually some solos of this form are actually a lot slower!

[Aminaptra]

you look so serious babe in this one Xx
