  • A simple combination of Am and E chords, with some melodies (0135) on the E and B strings, plus a sprinkle of F major (or Flamenco F) can bring your guitar to life with Spanish magic!

    This stuff teaches people to noodle around musically in Am and sound good right away, while they advance their rhythm. This stuff is gold

    I have tried to learn to play the guitar on three different occasions and each time have stopped because I just wasn’t getting any joy from it. I’m now 77 and u til a moment ago had resigned myself to this fate. But just listening to this lesson and a previous one where you show seven year old Adam some Spanish guitar moves has given me a glimpse of the joy that perhaps I can create. I’ll pick up the acoustic once again. Thank you

    This is really great. I've only been playing 2 1/2 months, but I could follow easily and everything you did built on skills I have been developing. I feel like you've given me a supplemental way of playing with the guitar experimentally rather than always just following a rigid lesson plan or memorizing the next Etude. I really appreciate this!

    Hola Jasón from England - and thanks mate for turning me onto Spanish guitar. Thanks to you, I added a Spaniard to my guitar collection and love the sound. I had a reached a plateau with my metal string guitar journey and you got me over it. Love your teaching style - and the band!

    Headed off to Spain for a few months and while I can't hold my own with a guitar yet (I just started two months ago), I' might be able to bring something to the "mesa" thanks to you. I love your approach. Freeform is a way to create beautiful sounds -- and that's what it's all about. Thanks!

    Awesome! I am 47 years old and started playing guitar this year. I have only ever played the bagpipes many years ago. Every time I get tired of learning/practicing chords or trying to get my sausage fingers to manipulate the strings properly, I jump on and find one of your videos. It recharges me and gets me so motivated when I hear "the beautiful" sounds coming from my guitar with my sausage fingers! Thank you!

    @payopedro1188 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Also yet another beautiful lesson. I think a big part of what makes you sound a little different from the flamenco players is you use a classical guitar, with the much darker and deeper tones, unlike the very bright flamenco guitars, which can sound deep, and do, but not like the classical guitar. The flamenco without timing is the, according to the professional flamenco player, Juan Martin, is called in Spanish, 'Toque Libre', or play free, meaning outside of the compass, such as a rumba. Cheers mate, best regards from Europe:)

    An incredible lesson Jace ! I Love it ! A mix of everything to build more on! Wish I were not so busy at work or I'd give this a try (my guitar is right behind me-where I go, so does my guitar, I WFH). What if tossing in a G chord after the Am? Work out the same or close, notes on the G string to expand? Just an idea to expand the chord progression. Thanks for the Awesome Inspiration ! I shall being looking for it on Patreon !

    • @JasonJohnContos
      @JasonJohnContos  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Paul yes that’s exactly right. Including the G and F chords from the “Andalusian cadence” will be perfect. As somebody who has been playing for a while, you will have many tricks you can include in this concept. This is just the most basic version- keep adding to it! Well done!
