flamenco lesson 12 - bulerias and alzapua

Lesson 12 from Juan Martins el arte flamenco de la guitarra
our first look at bulerias! plus! a new right hand technique for us to try - alzapua, which, when we get up to speed, will allow us to create all kinds of crazy flamenco sounds!!
a short little solo, but worth a look at to get a feel for the compas
good luck everyone!

Also!! an extra lesson video from my friend elmaroquinole, for the alzapua. check it out, he is amazing! see the video replies :-)

hombre puedes ayudar aportando tu granito de arena, pero no puedes enseñar un compas que ni tu controlas porque les vas a confundir mucho , el alzapua tiene que venir el giro de la muñeca siendo el pulgar el que ataque y tu te afanas mucho por el golpe en la tapa restando movilidad a la muñeca corrigete eso ;) , saludos.

my dear friend guitarrist i just think you have to practice your self a little more,i´ve been playing flamenco guitar for years and i think you are not in the position to teach, please dont take it bad is just what i think, keep playing my friend..and dont take it bad..my comment.

juan martin is the teacher, not me!

i just share what i learn!

check my video, seguiriyas con compas, and then check my older seguiriyas videos, you will see i have improved!

my subscribers have improved too, and i get a lot of positive feedback from them!

of course i always look up to a better guitarist, i know i'm not all that good :-P

in fact my friend elmaroquinole has sent a video reply to this lesson, demonstrating beautifully the alzapua technique! feel free to show us all how its done!

I also agree, csybu. I remember hearing you long ago. You have grown much since then. We all have to do it. My first teacher, Jaime Toro, had arthritis in his hands. He was not fast, but every cantaor and bailador in London wanted him to play for them.What he could do, he did very well. That was, to fit it all together to make real Flamenco. When one of your falsetas sends a shiver down your spine and sets off fireworks somewhere in your spirit, you are a real flamenco player. Suerte!!.

[csybu]

agree!

Don't be put off, I have been playing Flamenco 40 years and I can STILL learn from my students. It's not about copying, but a kind of growth. You are growing. Suerte!
