VERY NICE, VERY PROFFESIONAL
Thank you!
10:00 just to confirm, that’s the first position of the natural minor scale? The natural minor scale can also be referred to as simply the minor scale right? (If that isn’t the first position, my bad, it might be the 4th actually lol)
Yes, the natural minor scale would be its full name just to be specific but most people call it the minor scale. Confusion can arise when you’re talking about the Dorian scale or the harmonic minor scale or the melodic minor scale or the Phrygian scale which are all types of minor scales. so you only need to say “natural minor” to be extra clear.
1st position or “open”
This is absolutely the best lesson I have ever seen on scale and chords improvising for Flamenco guitar. You are such a gifted teacher. Thank you for sharing.
Wow thank you 🤩
I looked at a few other lessons on tremolo before I came to yours. I had already subscribed about half way through before you brought it up. My next 2 guitar purchases will be a requinto and then a Taylor nylon string. I'm currently practicing on a 1/2 size that I restrung with a requinto set.
Thanks and welcome!
En français, encore uen fois, merci!
Love your Chicago Art Institute Van Gogh copy.
That fricken Phrygian is ferocious
Fire
Nice! Thanks 🙏🏽
This is really good stuff!
INCREDIBLE lesson, thank you!!
What I love about your channel apart from the super high quality content is that you start each video by actually playing the piece. You would be amazed by how many don't do this. Also everything is really succinct and to the point without endless talking.
Thanks I appreciate that
You are fantastic Your teaching is excellent. Thank you
Love this❤🎶❤️
For our classical ensemble we did one last Spanish song “El Vito” and we did in fact end with these chords 😂😂
Perfect!
I'm sorry to be the party pooper but that doesn't sound like reggae... First cause the minor chord does not set the right mood, but that's not that important, since is just an example... The bass in reggae has an important rhythmic role and it's not playing on the first, at all... That sound more like a slow 4/4 polka... Also the percussion should not have a kick (bass) on the 1st beat and a snare on the 3rd, but actually both kick and snare on the 3rd... So it's way more reggae-y to play only the guitar and hit the strings and palm on the body of the guitar together on the 3d... If we wanna add the reggae bass pattern with the thumb it's doable, but quite complicated, and it can't be just the on the 1sr beat, if we really want a reggae vibe... Anyway it's just better not to play it and it sounds already ok
Hello Scott, $5 for the "Tarantella" in 3 steps and $5 for another simple "Spanish" 4 chord downward progression that starts on the Bm and I end up on an open B string that I turn into a simple "Hava Nagela", (and I'm not Jewish--lol) Thanks for those lessons.
Wow thank you 🙏 🙏 🙏
Just beautiful...
Great old song!
Very VERY good lesson, glad i found you! Thank you. 🎸
Thank you 🙏
Excellent!
Was good!
Great video, Scot, just enough to whet your appetite to explore gypsy jazz.
Thanks! And kudos on spelling whet correctly!
Bravo
What that brand of guitars
The Pavan flamenco negra
But how do you know what youre playing when you use these shapes thats what im struggling to learn
The idea is you can play any chord anywhere on the neck once you know how these shapes connect. But, you do have to know where the root is located in each shape to know what the name of the chord would be
Not martini but caipirinha pinga!
Thanks for the chord shapes, really, much appreciated. But when I go to the song, official video either my guitar is out of tune or the song is 2 steps up in f#m. I used a capo on the second fret to compensate. Thanks again
Yes they have a capo on the second fret
Sick
❤❤❤❤
You are a gret teacher also. A gift!! DocGermany
Thank you!
❤
Thanks!
🙏
I'd like to know, someday, why my nylon classical guitar sounds so awful. Nothing at all like this guitar.
Great tutorial, thanks for posting. ❤
Thank you 🙏
Excellent
yep i agree with all below, a great guitarist and sooo easy to follow steps, i showed this to a flamenco god called Ricardo De La Juana and he thinks you are de puta madre as he put it. he tried to teach me at his taverna in almunecar spain. i learned more from this cheers.
Great to hear!
Scott, this was extremely boring, Although, You are the best, Pure Tabulature diagrams for each note, gives a better signal to execute the Note. For me playing by ear and less guitar theory is more beneficial. Tabs without too Much theory. The greatest guitarist of all time was Sabicas, unlike Sagovia, Sabicas never read music. But created his own sounds through improvising by what sounded good. But of course he was a musical Genius, Who even Sagovia couldn't match.
How in the world can you teach improvisation with tabs? The whole point is to make your own music by navigating a scale pattern, which should be memorized so you’re not reinventing the wheel every time by “playing by ear”
Hi Scot. Thanks for the great tutorial ...the cords are played at the very beginning and even though it looks as if the accent of this tutorial is not on the cords any chance you can explain where on the freat scale are thouse cards played? It's a little too fast to capture although I may try to slow the beginning part down a little...to
muy bien hecho, hombre !
No mention of Joao Gilberto? I love his musik..."Aquarela do Brasil" one of the best.
What kind of gitarr have you. Market? Is it expensive? I like yours playing.
Ole!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
Cool beans. Excellent instruction.
Anyone know what model the guitar is???
This is a flamenco guitar from Francisco Navarro, but I’m not sure what the model is
@@TheVersatileGuitarist fantastic thank you, I can research the model
That sounds so addicting. One of those kinds of passages you play every time you pick up a guitar. Am I right?
❤ Scot, Thank You. 💫
I hope this goes viral
Do your part and watch it 1 million times 😂
if being able to play like this means my thumb looks like that...I'll stick with my pick, thanks😂
