The tapping and numbering in the beginning and then showing the graph with the numbers is simply magnificent. I would have never been able to understand without this. I am so appreciative. If you may for future videos always include this.
i know im asking randomly but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I somehow forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Krew Nixon Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im trying it out now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
The best explanation of Flamenco rhythms I have seen. Finally I think I understand it. Of course it should be about "feeling it", but I always wnat also to intellectually understand musical concepts. Great video!
I'm a drummer and found this oh so valuable because of a few reasons. Two list only two though here: I can begin to understand the guitarists approach to this style rhythm wise as I used to get lost playing along due to my not understanding the guitar part relation to my own, as a non native flamenco trier if you will. Secondly, it's a study of rhythm for me too as I enjoy practicing the guitar quintuplet parts on my snare drum as I try to deepen my understanding of the guitar part over the clave of this style. New vocab for my drumming and strengthened confidence in my understanding when playing with others. Thanks a bunch for this upload
Thanks for this lesson Diego. I've been playing classical guitar for a minute, and now I want to commit to learning the Flamenco Style!!! This lesson is wonderful to begin understanding the basics.
Thank you for this explanation and the notation; this really helps me in finally understanding the music I have enjoyed for so long but without enough understanding to follow along with palmas. Now I have a structure to practice by. Thank you so much!
Thanks Diego this has been awesome... it really helps when a teacher elaborates in such detail. It gives an avenue for disciplined practise with the different timings.... helps to differentiate by teaching them all togethor...Thankyou again.
One famous example is in "I Want To Live In America" from West Side Story. ruclips.net/video/2a3nG57nFjg/видео.html Another one that I like is in the second half of "Ojala Que Llueva Cafe" by Cafe Tacuba. ruclips.net/video/raRWSD8LSKU/видео.html
I'm glad it was helpful. Include listening, and feeling the groove as part of your studies and you will get it. Internalize and feel, that is key. Best of luck!
Nice explanation! I learn some basic flamenco years ago, with Oscar Herrero here in Spain. Besides your excellent explanation, what caught my attention was Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C-sharp minor... 😂 Great explanation and notation! Regards from Spain!
Thank you so much! I'm a flute-player/singer in Latin and Jazz and sung my first Buleria some time ago...no idea what I was doing! So this is great....might i ask you some clear examples? vocal or flute? thank you@@@@
With flute look for Jorge Pardo who played on many Paco de Lucia albums from the 80's onwards. For vocals listen to Camaron (de la Isla), Carmen Linares, Enrique Morente, Estrella Morente, Terremoto, Potito, Caracol, José Mercé, Remedios Amaya (especially "Me Voy Contigo"❤️) There are many other greats but that will get you started. Good luck!
Great video! So one thing that confuses me: the Buleria rhythm starts on count 12. Is it okay to see it as 2-4-2-2? I don't know whether to see the 12 as the beginning of the groove, or the 1. For the Siguiriya it seems I can ignore the no 8 and just see it as the start of the groove but the Buleria is not so clear for me. Thanks in advance!
It has a lot to do with harmonic rythm. So in bulerías the tipical progression would be: I - II b - I (ex: A - Bb - A) Chords change at 3rd and 10th beat (see below diagram). As an analogy to contemporary music think of it as I - V - V - I (ex: A - E - E - A). 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 A Bb A Tonic Tension Resolve Resolve happen in the 10th beat so, actually the 10th beat is the ending of the bar and 11th beat is just a breath before starting again. Whereas in seguiriyas chord changes differently. An example is the following: 8 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 A C Bb A A The end of the bar is 6th beat (counting 12) but it resolve in beat 3. So despite of been the same counting it feels completely different. Hope it helps
Good rythm explanation in the beginning. But when the explaining of the rasgueo of solea begins, that could have been done better (you follow the rythm correctly but it needs a lot more strums to better "fit into" the rythm)
Hi duckisback, I do make the occasional mistake, but I'm pretty sure about the buleria. I was taught in person by Andres Batista and Javier Limon. What is your concern with the explanation? Maybe I can clarify?
Kevin Toine You could think of it like a hemiola but with 2 additional levels of complexity. The different hierarchical structure of the accents (ie strongest on 3 & 10 [beat 4 of 6/8, beat 3 of 3/4 in North American terms]) and then the offset of accent on beat 7 [& of 1 in 3/4 bar] for certain styles like buleria. Those changes really define it but the hemiola is at the core beneath those changes. All the best! - Diego
Tell me about it!!! I'm putting together a video of all the times the cat ruined a take, or otherwise threw off my train of thought. Oh well, I guess everyone has an evil nemesis. :-)
Thank you very much. You are not only a master guitarist, but also a master teacher. Respect and admiration from Holland.
Wow, thank you!

Excellent straight forward explanation. No BS

Thank you John!
thank you for this! id love more music examples to find the groove in recordings too! but this really clarified things for me :)

Pure gold!!
Thank you Badr!
Hello super video..nice and clean video
Thx teacher
Super useful! Main takeaway at the end that you learn this more by listening than theorising. And your cat agrees!
Thanks Remuted, glad it was useful. Best of luck!
Thank you so much, only now i was able to understand this complicated beat.
You are a good teacher..
Thank you I really enjoyed your presentation 😀✌️
Thank you James, I'm glad you liked it. All the best!
still absorbing this but your video really helps
I'm glad it was helpful. Include listening, and feeling the groove as part of your studies and you will get it. Internalize and feel, that is key. Best of luck!
1:27 Why the shift? Is there a more or less musical explanation behind it rather than it being related to and affected by the analog clock?
Thank you for making this
No problem 😊
great lesson
Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Nice explanation! I learn some basic flamenco years ago, with Oscar Herrero here in Spain.
Besides your excellent explanation, what caught my attention was Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C-sharp minor... 😂
Great explanation and notation! Regards from Spain!
Saludos, un abrazo fuerte!
Perfect, Thank You

thanks sir , please detailed lesson of Alzapua technique merci
Thank you! So mystified until I watched this..
Me: spends entire musical life counting from beat 1
Flamenco: start counting at 12
Me: ???????????
Morpheus: "What if I told you that beat 12 and beat 1 were the same thing." 😅
thanks! why do we start counting from 12 and not 1?
of course feeling is more important.. but still 🤙
different compas count 12 beats differently; the accents are different. Buleria counts from 12. Solea counts from 1
Excellent explanation thanks. Btw tu gato tienes hambre!
¡Pero qué cosa!
Gracias

2:29 is your thumb broken or what ;)
I know eh! That double jointed thumb gave me a lot of trouble when I was first learning pulgar & alzapua techniques. 👍...just for the "pun" of it. :-)

Can you teach me guitar 🎸 flamenco guitar
Thank Master
Isn’t the buleria one wrong?
Hi duckisback, I do make the occasional mistake, but I'm pretty sure about the buleria. I was taught in person by Andres Batista and Javier Limon.
What is your concern with the explanation? Maybe I can clarify?
So it's a hemiola ?

Those changes really define it but the hemiola is at the core beneath those changes. All the best! - Diego
Что-то у меня не получается пока (((
Who’s hear because of there music teacher
Why does everyone else need to make flamenco rhythms so confusing and opaque. It’s different, not quantum physics. Thanks.
shit this is a fucking science
the cat lol
Your cat is calling you 😂
Yes, somehow she thinks that her food is more important than guitar. :-)
What about the cat ? 😂😂😂😂
The cat?...still alive, still hungry, still interrupting! 😅
@@DiegoDeOroi’m reassured😅, thanks
Meow.
😁
This is an amazing lesson, but your cat is incredibly distracting
Tell me about it!!! I'm putting together a video of all the times the cat ruined a take, or otherwise threw off my train of thought.
Oh well, I guess everyone has an evil nemesis. :-)
@@DiegoDeOro I need to see that when it's done. There's no winning with cats, they get what they want
you're not even a joke, how can we believe you if flamenco is more than folklore? appalling
Thank you very much! Amazing! Agree with @terpentoon 100%
Thank you Olga!
