How To Play Spanish Guitar New Flamenco Gipsy Kings style - Lesson #3
Hey there!
Are you ready to do some work?
Not too hard but it's gonna take some practice but if you're ready to get down with that
melody in this third lesson of my Spanish New Flamenco Guitar Series then go ahead,
snap your fingers and let's get going.
Okay, I'm gonna break it down.
First is to start with this exercise to get the fingers going.
In my left hand, I'm making what it looks like an A minor chord move up two frets.
It's gonna sound like this (strumming) that's the three notes we're gonna play (strumming)
so that's the first finger on the third fret second string.
My third finger next on the fourth fret third string and then the second finger over there
on the fourth fret fourth string (strumming) so here's the note you're gonna play.
We'll start with the little note.
Next chord is just an A chord and I'm making it myself with the first finger and the second
finger.
You can make it any way you want really.
Popular ones three fingers like this.
I prefer just two fingers so it sounds like this, listen (strumming) okay, that's chord
#2.
Going to just pop much with me, use your first finger here and then play that much with me.
Make it B minor chord right here.
Ready, go - to A, now just look at my right hand for a minute, just this exercise I'm
using two fingers and you can alternate.
Sometimes we're not playing all actually and I use three all of my fingers.
It's actually a little harder but when you get used to it, they can go faster.
That's what it looks like when you use three fingers.
Feel free if you want to try that.
There's really ones not right and ones not wrong (strumming) and then go to A (strumming)
do it again, the B minor to A, ready for the next part.
Open, nothing in the left hand.
I'm playing the third string, four string, second string and the third string again,
all open (strumming) and then finally, part #4 just play as an F sharp note that's the
fourth string fourth fret (strumming) so let's do that whole exercise together.
Let me show you right quick.
It's gonna sound like this, ready go!
(strumming) A, open and F sharp so practice that and then we're gonna
take it up with notch and I'll show you how to put that together with a sound like the
melody.
So what's gonna make it sound just like the melody is that ending part which will go ahead
and then make it turn around into a pattern.
The ending part is like this, you're on that F sharp note right there and the very end
goes like this (strumming) and then.
Do that with me nice and slow, that's the second string.
I used my first finger, second fret, third fret, back to second fret, open and then third
string second fret and then slide that and put your finger in the B minor chord position
(strumming) do it again with me, ready go!
(Strumming) again (strumming) okay, we're gonna put it all together now.
Listen for a minute so that you'll gonna hear what it sound like (strumming) so a couple
of extra little notes you probably saw then in there.
We started off (strumming) and then I do this lick, that's the song of the second string
-- open, second fret and then go to the A (strumming).
Try that just that much (strumming) then I do that open G and on the third string now
same second fret and end on that F sharp which is the fourth string fourth fret then that
last lick and start over.
We'll do the whole thing.
I want you to try playing along with me.
We will do it three times in a row, start from that B minor chord, ready go!
(strumming) open, last lick and again (strumming) open (strumming) one more time A, open G
and last lick and on that F sharp.
Okay, so feel free to go back and watch it a few times.
If you practice it, you will get it just go slow and little by little pick up speed (7:32)
to seeing you in my next video.
Thanks for sharing this time with me.
See you!
