Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question...

Q: I'm still just an Intermediate level guitarist, but I love the sound of Flamenco Guitar and in particular, "Rumba." I know advanced Flamenco guitar involves certain levels of technique. But, is there a basic Rumba piece and a few exercises you might be able to teach that could start me off?
Ramonna -- Buenos Aires, Argentina

A: Flamenco guitar is without a doubt very expressive and full of emotion. A large part of conveying that, "Correct Rumba Feeling," is very important. Of course, it goes without saying that an vital part of learning this, (or any other style), is spending ample time listening to a lot of authentic Flamenco music as much as you possibly can. In the video lesson, I'll be keeping things simple - doing my best to stay at the Intermediate playing level for those watching. Rumba is performed with a syncopated 2/4 rhythm. The rhythmic dynamic accents occur upon the 1st, 4th and 7th sixteenth-notes of the measure. Pay close attention to the rhythmic feel in the videos, Example #1). This is the vital element regarding Rumba. Get this down and everything else will slowly fall into place as well.

  • @kristofferjo,

    I know, but dude WE gotta support this guy (as fans). That's the way he'll get popular! Okay, so what I do is I always post his videos on my facebook page and I make a twitter announcement to try & help him with getting views. And, when I can, I send him a donation. I'm a student, so it's usually only like $10 bucks, but his handouts are amazing, and I'll bet making these vid's takes him HOURS... so I've gotta support him, (even if it's with only like ten bucks).

  • Another great lesson!

  • I wish you were my dad! Rock on Andrew

  • every guitar player on youtube needs to watch you

  • I wish I could copy your brain on a flash drive and then import it into mine. You're such a great teacher!

  • @jippie11261 Yeah, I agree. I will keep on supporting him, but I personally don't need lesson. I watch all of his videos for inspiration to my play style. Aspecially in this video I was amazed. The most important lesson of all.... by learning music in theory you can't become good. You need to feel it. Play with your heart and soul and give it your all. Keep it up, man!

  • Hey Andrew, I was having an arguement with a drummer friend as to whether or not you can play poly rhythms on a guitar .I say you can , because where a drummer has four limbs to use in order to make polyrhythms , a guitar player has 5 fingers to use . It only makes sense to me that you can, but anyways ...could you help me out here and tell me whether or not guitarists can play polyrhythms on their instrument ... Thanks a bunch

  • Thanks for the great class Andrew.This kind of guitar music is very cose to my hearth.

  • @boblawblaws604 Thank u for the reaply! I will wait!

  • Brilliant.
