  • i lost what ur doing at the end, this is to hard for me and im a flamenco player lol.

  • The melody is a basic Alegria escobilla pattern in A-E7. I'm surprised you have not come across this melody as a flamenco player. In any case, the main point of this video is the technique itself at the beginning. The second bit is just a example. Ask your teacher. If you listen again closely I'm sure you will be able to pick out the melody. The alzapur is just an embellishment that is ADDED to this simple melody. Sorry if it came across as confusing.

  • Come again?? Julius Caesar was probably better at playing the spoons than I am at playing the tin whistle. Better, worse. What does it all mean? Who really cares if Zakk Wylde is better than me anyway? I certainly don't. Better at what? Growing his hair or splitting his jeans? I really don't understand. Apples and oranges friend. Be sure to watch my other "not as good as" videos. I love your subjectivity. It makes my world go round just a bit faster. Thanks for visiting. Luv ya.

  • fantastico,tabs please!!

  • Why thank you reconcha.

    Unfortunately tabs are not available for this exercise. I could write this down for you but I don't feel like it. Besides, we shoot tabs on sight in this neck of the woods. The chords are A and E7. The A chord is fingered with the 1st and 2nd fingers only, allowing the pinky to stretch and play some of the bass melody notes on the 4th and 5th strings. Use your ears and forget the damn tabs. It's not hard. OOOooohhh. Aren't I a meanie?

  • @hersoveela Zakk Wylde sucks. Who's the idiot who compared you to him? Needs to be smacked

  • Les accords stp papy :p en tout ca c'est vachement beau

  • pon los acordes

  • I wish I could play like this..

  • Sal, very nice job, I must say. Sounds really pleasant.

  • Mucho bueno!

  • what are you even talking about...no tabs in the real world? you arent a good player if you read tablature? i know alot of people who learned how to play through tabs and they are excellent guitarists as well as writers, i dont know why you are so critical.

    and i guess the music books that i have apparently dont exist in the real world since they contain tabs

  • lovely piece
