A valuable lesson worth its weight in gold, something most classical guitar teachers don't bother to emphasize the importance of proper technique in early stages of tuition.
@@TheVersatileGuitarist I hope it sweeps the entire conceivable universe! Flamenco is THE most hardcore style and I think personally the most beautiful one that can be practised on a nylon acoustic guitar!
Paco de Lucia, Sabicas.....and Manolo Sanlùcar. I once bought in a second hand shop a cd by Sanlùcar, it became one of my personal favorites. Great content. Well Presented.
Great instruction. Love that split screen demonstration when teaching (and display of music). You make it easy to understand. Especially step by step. Thank - you. A big favor to flamenko sound. More people will want to play!
Hello I wanna say thank you! I come to your channel because a other youtuber talk about your amazing teaching and it's absolutely true! I learn since 6 years only by TH-cam so I look everyday if I can learn something new or better. And u are a amazing teacher one of the best I would say ✌🏽thanks for charing your love
I've spent quite a bit of time trying to develop my picado. It's a tough nut to crack. I'm at a point where I could profitably practice these runs, so thanks for the video!
Thanks maestro Taber you sure pick nice picados! Sabicas picados are mesmerizing too, everybody was talking about Sabicas speed in the old days when he was touring America...
Fantastic lesson, thank you very much sir, great choice of studies, and great explanations, for instance your explanation of where to put the accent was very valuable for people like me who don' t know music very well.
wow. why the f*** I didnt had such teacher 25 years ago'?! I mean, NOBODY ever talked about those "small" mistakes but which hinder all progress! thank yu so much on sheding an insightfull light on all of those small mistakes!
I need this lesson. I can not read the label or see the headstock, but that is a nice sounding axe. That open string gives it the Spanish/Solea sound i think. Thanks!
Nice, crossing strings it's the most difficult thing, I do not agree about not alternating the finger on crossing string, I'm a classical guitarist but I studied a little flamenco with Vicente Amigo in a master class, he said to practice both combinations because when you improvise you can't be sure you will play a scale or a phrase always with the "right" finger... Another thing that can help a lot to increase speed is to alternate relaxed finger tip to rigid, playing a scale or a phrase with relaxed and then with rigid.. Still a Vicente advice... In classical guitar it's not allowed rigid finger tip... but I don't care and I use and teach both. Again, nice video Sir
@@kpcart You can CLEARLY watch Vicente playing and see that he use rigid and relaxed finger tip, same for finger crossing, it is better to use always the right finger but it can happen to use the wrong when you improvise, go watch Vicente playing and you will notice that yourself... so where are the bullshit?
Wow..what an invaluable lesson! Awesome, thank you! Btw these are also great licks/runs for practicing faster alternate picking on electric guitar! I mean, what is picado??? Picado = Shredding 😁
subbed! You really explain and demonstrate so well, wish I could just loop certain sections, do u do shorts where I could for example loop them and play along? Really glad I stumbled on your channel, great technique and love the split screen too :)

I wanted to learn this fast technique and found your YT channel. Thanks for lesson. There's an Elvis song 'We'll Be Together' the opening guitar is very fast. Is this run being used here? or is it another technique?
It does sound like this technique, although he could be using a pick because later in the song you hear a tremolo picking technique that is definitely being done with a pick. Hard to tell though!
❤from spain Andalucía huelva again,hi teacher i'm trying catch You anyphrase , whitout subtítuls ,you go so fast talking that barely i undestand You,Will,i hope You undestand me and answer My question friend,😂 You are Nice
Between 7:30 and 7:40 you gloss over what was the main problem for me. As you cross toward the ceiling, the finger that is resting on the next string to be played has to get out of the way for the other finger. And if that resting finger is going to play the next note on the same string, you are actually unpreparing that finger, moving it away from its next target.. I found it quite easy in the beginning to play 8th notes at 80-90 BMP with one finger, and hen had to figure out all the reasons why I could not play 16th notes at anything close the same tempo.
“…the finger that is resting on the next string to be played has to get out of the way for the other finger.” > it is the scissor-like exchange of i and m fingers that has to be ingrained by doing the first (staccato/planting) exercise shown here. Then your fingers will naturally trade off. “…if that resting finger is going to play the next note on the same string…” > not sure what you mean here, as that will not be the case because we are alternating.
@@TheVersatileGuitarist I am working on this, because I am triyng to retire my pick. I understand and appreciate your answer, and could see that you did as you describe. It may be just semantics, but at speed, it is more like you bounce off the adjacent string, rather than to "rest" on it. And one of the things i am wrestling with is that it feels so different when the bounce is the preparation for that finger to play the same string, the above string or the below srring, while improvising. So, I also practice i-m one note per string. You must understand that there are inefficiencies in i-m playing. For example, it is easy to play 8th notes at 90 BPM with one finger. But to do that with both fingers, playing 16th notes at 90 = well, it's not too difficult with the stacato excercise. But with improvised jazz lines, that's a whole other world.
At 8:40 you seem to be playing the lick not according to the tab. The tab says the triplets on the E string each start on the open E string, yet you play the beginning of the triplet with your pinky. Sorry for pointing this out, but I want to make sure I understand the pattern correctly
It only sounds that way because the pinky note is the highest note in each group of three notes, that’s why I make a point in the video to say you need to tap your foot to be sure you are playing the accent/downbeat on the open E string each time and not on the pinky note. The pinky accent is harmonic, but if you know where the beat is it will be correct… If you misperceive the pinky note as being on the downbeat it will be wrong
Those are two distinctly different techniques, but what they both have in common is they are “Melody“ techniques. Picado is the exchange of index and middle finger rest strokes for single note melodies which makes the melodies a lot louder and more aggressive and “flamenco sounding”… tremolo is the repetition of a single note multiple times. In classical and flamenco guitar, tremolo is an arpeggio-like technique where we play free strokes on a single string while the thumb arpeggiates a chord on other strings. I suppose you could combine picado and tremolo into one technique by playing tremolo with rest strokes but that would be very very difficult to play fast!
Besides what the professor said: the tremolo always uses 3 fingers to attack the same string + fingers not resting. Picado: 2 fingers, not necessarily the same string + rest strokes. Thanks for the lesson by the way professor

So so so true
Love your lessons and how you break down stuff❤
Thank you!
Scot, thank you for taking the time and sharing.
Thanks, for explaining details in picado technique.
Thank you very much for this great lesson❤
A flamenco picado educational video having 150k views?! SO THERE IS HOPE!
It’s sweeping the nation! 😂
@@TheVersatileGuitarist I hope it sweeps the entire conceivable universe! Flamenco is THE most hardcore style and I think personally the most beautiful one that can be practised on a nylon acoustic guitar!
Hats off Scot great video definitely a tricky little bugger the last one 🙌🏻😊
Excellent explanation, subbed.
wow! very practical advises!
Wow .. thankyou sir for this lesson 😊
Paco de Lucia, Sabicas.....and Manolo Sanlùcar. I once bought in a second hand shop a cd by Sanlùcar, it became one of my personal favorites. Great content. Well Presented.
I love the your Lesson .
Thank You so much God Bless you
Thank you very much. You are the best!
The exercise to avoid the slip finger is so helpful.
every time i c your lessons i feel like you have extraordinary talent for simplifying hard stuffs🙏🏼
Thank you!
Many thanks!👍
great explain !
Wow i love the structure of the video, what a blast to follow along
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video Scot! As a late starter on the guitar, by heck this is difficult :) But we'll get there! Thank you for a very clear instruction video.
🎉 thank you
Thank you dear Scott for another very useful tutorial.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Helpful to say the least :)
Cool 😎
Thankyou for the great lesson from Australia!
My pleasure!
Absolutely fantastic lesson - many thanks!
Glad you think so, thanks! 🙏
Great stuff! This is the first time I've seen your channel and I'm immediately subscribing. Very impressed by your instruction. Thanks . 😎🤓
Thank you and welcome! Spread the word!! 🤓
Great lesson, and great teaching
Glad you liked it!
great instruction, sir! thank you! more powe!
Thank you!
Great instruction. Love that split screen demonstration when teaching (and display of music). You make it easy to understand. Especially step by step. Thank - you. A big favor to flamenko sound. More people will want to play!
Friendly correction: Flamenco. Of course, we've all heard people pronounce it Flamingo!
I hope so!
Very nicely explained, Sir.
Glad you think so!

That’s great to hear thank you! Who is the other TH-camr?
Beautiful! It’s quite different to playing fusion or rock, especially picking is just so much easier with a pick. I’d love to get a grasp of flamenco.
Flamenco can be like nylon string shred metal! 🤘
Good stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it
I've spent quite a bit of time trying to develop my picado. It's a tough nut to crack. I'm at a point
where I could profitably practice these runs, so thanks for the video!
Perfect timing! Yeah I’ve been doing this since I was about 15 years old and still not happy with it!
Brilliant thanks 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
great teacher by God gift .thank you sir for beautiful lessons.
Thank you!
Thanks maestro Taber you sure pick nice picados! Sabicas picados are mesmerizing too, everybody was talking about Sabicas speed in the old days when he was touring America...
He doesn’t get enough credit nowadays!

Wonderful great lesson... from Brazil...
Thanks! 😃
Great lesson. Piccado has been very difficult for me to learn
Veeeery good as really thankful and grateful to you. No doubt, it's amazing for those learners want to ply guitar with perfection. Stay blessed.
Play as wrote ply by mistake.
Thank you!
@@TheVersatileGuitarist My pleasure.
Thank you friend
Thanks for watching!
Very nice.
Thanks for watching!
paco de lucia is the one!!!
This video is fucking amazing. Thanks Scot! Already subscribed
Thanks! I’m thinking about doing a similar one for rasgueo and arpeggios
This music is so emotional even during a lesson i start welling up ,,, I'm embarrassed with myself ... My lord ...

Vincente would not have said that at all as it goes against his most basic method in flamenco. Bullshit
@@kpcart You can CLEARLY watch Vicente playing and see that he use rigid and relaxed finger tip, same for finger crossing, it is better to use always the right finger but it can happen to use the wrong when you improvise, go watch Vicente playing and you will notice that yourself... so where are the bullshit?
Amazing. How fast should it be on metronome to sound right? Above 180 bpm 16th notes? Did Paco de Lucia really play picado above 220 16th notes?
Wow..what an invaluable lesson! Awesome, thank you! Btw these are also great licks/runs for practicing faster alternate picking on electric guitar! I mean, what is picado???
Picado = Shredding 😁
That is correct!

Thanks! I have some shorts but this video hasn’t been divided up into segments for shorts but I plan to!

Ok
About one note per minute.
Not bad
Maestro, where is the falseta and picados?????
The tabs? The link is in the description!
Get the tabs and practice play-along tracks from all my picado TH-cam videos here: bit.ly/3u2Hhfi

Nice reverb 😖
'In the interest of not alternating' I don't agree. Alternaing is natural with active relaxation. 'Creeping into my playing style ' no thanks dude.
The way you can place your thumb... Hurts me while watching
I guess I’ll start publishing these as an audio podcast
I hate being flat picker. It doesn’t take skill like flaminco
Flatpickers are people too ❤️
I see how fast ...I delete video
You forgot to add “and spend vital moments of my life I’ll never get back writing a comment for no reason”
Thanks for lesson ,you can write the name and the model guitar sound good,thanks
Something not quite right here. That's why it's not working.
What?
appreciate this video thank you
