I was born and I live in Spain and honestly this is the most organized and the best videos to learn from. Spanish teacher usually aren't that organized and they don't go this deep. Thanks Kai. Great Work
Just joined up for a year to start my Flamenco journey at 43 with the Cordoba F7. Jumping around at work and watched this during lunch. I get excited when I see how nicely Kai breaks things down. Makes me fell like in a year, I might actually be able to play something... 😆
this is easily the best "available" explanation of Buleria trill out there. Short, precise, not overly wordy. Oh and that Conde has the sound I very much adore - dry, growl-y, vocal-ly and very personalized!
You and soooo many other youtube instructors are just fantastic. Whomever said "you CAN'T learn guitar from youtube" is well..... Great stuff friend, thanks for your time
I am still digesting the info regardless I cant thank you enough for your help. Your lessons break my intimidation of hopping into this beautiful realm
Kai i have been a classical player since around 1990 and to get the feel of the Compas is so very foreign to me. Your instruction is helping tremendously thank you.
I can't thank you enough for breaking down this deceptively complex passage. It was one of the last pieces of my basic Bulerias compas puzzle. Cheers Kai.
F yeah, compadre. Finally, someone who can articulate it without the left brain pulling the train along. Rhythm never really breaks long enough to lose one’s place.
musashidanmcgrath I’ve seen so many students struggle with this that I realized this video was necessary! So glad it was useful and made sense! Cheers, Kai
Hi Adam - Check this one out for a start: ruclips.net/video/1hd6pOVaCuI/видео.html We also have tons of videos about compas and much more over at FlamencoExplained.com if you're ready to get serious! Cheers, Kai

May I ask what is the difference between a Conde with round headstock like in this video and one with media luna? I always thought every Conde guitar must have media luna headstock
The ones made by the Condes themselves are the Media Luna ones. This one is known as a Guitarra de Pozuelo because they were made at the Conde workshop outside of Madrid in a town called Pozuelo de Alarcón. These are cheaper if you can find one but can be very very good (in many cases the ones from the 1970’s were just as good). Not to be confused with today’s Conde students models, which are a different thing.
Hi, ive been thinking about flamenco, ive observe that most of the peice the guitarist plays, are titled in their names, like bulerias, tomatito bulerias, paco delucia, bino dola bulerias, bino dola tangos. On bino dola, i thaught its a music name but its name of a person.
Thanks Michele! That's a 1977 Conde Hermanos. These are referred to as 'guitarras de Pozuelo' as they were made in the Conde workshop just outside of Madrid and not by the brothers themselves, but they tend to be really good!
@@FlamencoExplained Thanks again for the answer, you are very kind. Now I realize that it is too expensive a guitar for me and I am a miserable beginner :)) Could you please indicate to me the basic brands of flamenco guitars under a thousand euros? Excuse my request but who better than you can indicate ... thank you
@@micheleurban8783 No worries - in Europe you have a lot of good options for guitars well under 1000. Some of the brands that come to mind are Raimundo, Esteve, Alhambra, Hermanos Sanchiz. Check out Elflamencovive.com in Madrid to get an idea

Louis Carrillo Well, each compás (like a measure) has 12 beats, and what’s a phrase is kind of subjective, so at first I’d say try to keep track of your 6es or 12s to stay in compas, if that makes sense
Yep - it's basically a 2a from 1977. They're referred to as 'guitarras de Pozuelo' because Pozuelo de Alarcon is the town outside of Madrid where the Conde workshop was
good tutorial but , almost useles fot beginner..you split in small parts,learn it than develop...how should i learn it? i barely can follow your fingers? look at he Robert Lunn..unfortunately he doesnt have this song
Hey! You're right that this video isn't very beginner-friendly, as it assumes you have solid Bulerias compás to begin with.

@@Aorist1 many of the right hand techniques can be practiced with the hand alone, or on your leg. techniques involving the pinky, for sure. That said, I've played a lot of guitar so I do have some idea whether it's helpful or not you can also learn pieces, which involves memory and hand posjtion oops. I did not even see "guktar"
HOWCTO TRILL ??? IS THAT A TECHNICAL TERM ??? I DO KNOW THAT TRILL WAS THE BRAND NAME FOR A BUDGERIGAR BIRD FOOD IN THE SIXTIES AND SEVENTIES IN THE UK BUT IN FIFTY YEARS OF STUDYING FLAMENCO I NEVER HEARD THE TERM TRILLL....
You're right of course - I just use that term as short hand. As far as I know there's no proper name for that bit in Spanish, but when I refer to it as a trill (which it isn't, even in the literal sense) people seem to know what I'm talking about, which is good enough for me. Cheers, Kai
How to trill ??? It is not a flamenco term - so why say it ? Whatever. The BEST introduction to classic flamenco is the series by Juan Martin ie "El Arte Flamenco de la Guittarra".......
I was born and I live in Spain and honestly this is the most organized and the best videos to learn from. Spanish teacher usually aren't that organized and they don't go this deep. Thanks Kai. Great Work
Thanks so much for saying that - much appreciated!
Man I've needed someone to break it down like this for a long time. Finally somebody made bulerías accessible for me. Thank you!

Bulerias es unos di mis favorites palos.
Great training. Thanks. You really stepped out the Compas in a very clear manner.
I needed this.. literally sat down for 2 hours and got it best video out
Latino En Melbourne Eddie mariona Thanks!

but he plays very fast so that beginners have troubles to keep up

Sir, thank you so much! I think by far this the best video tutorial on bulerias!
Thanks Kai! It's really splendid game and the same work from your party
Keep my best regards from Moscow

Gitanos never count. Flamenco waves come a thousand times to the shore of the hearts, and that rhythm is felt for life.

Excelente explanación of the exact problem I've been having when it comes to that part of the bulerías.
Exelent by the "Chief Explainer". 👍

I agree. He’s better than many teachers.

What Flamenco guitar should i purchase that is not out of this world expensive but still sounds great?
If you tell us what part of the world you’re in and what your budget is you’ll probably get some good suggestions.

What guitar you use in this video and what you recommend in middle category
That's a 1977 Conde Hermanos. Where are you and what's your budget? I may have some ideas..

Are intermediate players able to do this ? Great job by the way ! This is so beautiful.
With a bit of patience there’s no reason why an intermediate player couldn’t play this!

@@FlamencoExplained Thank you for responding,l liked the sound
hmmm, so these are 2 bar phrases 12 and 10 ? not 2 bars of 10 ? love it.
Louis Carrillo Well, each compás (like a measure) has 12 beats, and what’s a phrase is kind of subjective, so at first I’d say try to keep track of your 6es or 12s to stay in compas, if that makes sense
@@FlamencoExplained thank you so much, i will try to internalize the counts, and melody :)

Is that a Conde 2a? It is not a medialuna A26.
Yep - it's basically a 2a from 1977. They're referred to as 'guitarras de Pozuelo' because Pozuelo de Alarcon is the town outside of Madrid where the Conde workshop was
@@FlamencoExplained pity that they aren't made or for sale these days. I like the Conde sound, but cannot afford an expensive one.
@@JosSae2 Keep your eyes open - older ones come up for sale every now and then and are generally much more affordable than the media luna ones.

im still trying... i find it so hard
it's pretty unnatural to play, but so natural to hear
Mohammed Al-Mawali Keep at it. Listen to your self when you play, or even better…record yourself.
what is the see-through pick guard type thing called that protects the guitar from the nails when he taps?? someone help please
In Spanish it's called a golpeador, and in English we usually call them tap-plates. Like a pickguard for nails!
Guitar supply places have them in sheets and you can cut them out and apply them like a Bumper Sticker on any Classical guitar .
"Figure, phrase, thingy..."
Is that a 'technical' term :)
Cute....
🤣 we have a lot of those!
I am really sorry I increased the like count from 666 to 667
🌻😘💐
I will come back when my nails have grown to the preffered length....
Nails are a great Bugga boo for playing Flamenco or Classical...no one really ever addresses it...The thumbnail especially...
