to hell with all these wannabes giving you negative feedback. you are an awesome teacher/player! they're so jealous! i've been playing for 30 plus years every style of every kind and i think you really got it going on!
+kevin marconnette Mate, I reckon your positive comments are spot on. Between the 'special people' writing above the heads of those of us who came here to learn & the spite mongers who knock people only because they are bored, -- It could wear away at great Teachers like this. Some may just give up. So its great when I read strong support for people like this who are giving their time & sharing the FREE gift of this inspiring music!
Cheers for the Video! Apologies for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Rozardner Guitar Professionalism Reality (probably on Google)? It is a great exclusive guide for easy guitar learning system for adults minus the headache. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my buddy finally got excellent results with it.
30+ years, every style? Wow. Then probably you noticed that some techniques were demonstrated and explained quite inaccurately - for instance "fan picking" or tremolo. And teaching certain techniques incorrectly is not something one should applaud. Don't get me wrong, many years have passed since this video, and this guy's new lessons are pretty decent, but this one definietly isn't. It's rather strange you can't see it with 30+ years experience to say the least.
Just want to say that I am a ukulele player always looking for new techniques to add to my repertoire, and I have tried all of the 8 techniques in this lesson and they are all brilliant fun and sound great on a uke, so a massive thank you to you for this video!
I have been studying really hard here and hoping that you never remove these videos as I need to really work with them a lot. Please don't remove these if you don't have to o.k. I also want to remember to let you know that you are a great teacher and really appreciated & I thank you.!!!
I start all my students with a capo on the 2nd fret. This always lowers the action. I still do this on really delicate fingerstyle stuff, it's so much easier.
Hey man, thanks a lot for this little lesson. I can see how these tricks can make anything really have a Spanish flair. I just bought a spanish guitar while in Tijuana. It is hand made by a guy there, it's a Luis Sevillano. Don't know if u know who that is but is beautiful and this lesson will help me get going in playing spanish guitar. I have always wanted to learn but never had the right guitar. But know I do, so thanks man. I subscribed to your channel too.
Such a good video, i like the way you explain it clearly....don´t care about people that dislike you or talk about if it´s flamenco style or not. For me it´s really nice to try out these technics that way. And it definately helped me out to sound more "flamenco" So thanxx a lot for that!
I really enjoy your lessons on technical skills and the like. It is refreshing to get more than just song tutorials. Every time I'm in a rut, learning the underlying tricks of different styles pulls me back out of the swamp of boredom.
I've played guitar for decades, bored and stuck at times.... so and am glad to finally see hear and learn these much more complex, interesting, inspired rhythmic variations/tricks with the strum hand. It's as if 60% of the instrument is hobbled without these sounds. Thanks.
ich bin eine dutchman, und can't live wit out spanish music, and learning to play and it has been easier and more fun than i expected, i am happy with all the spanish sounds and techniques that i can learn and will be a student of it for ever
For more than 10 years I have tried doing some of the Flamenco techniques without success as my brain was programmed on the wrong method and I could not change my mistakes. However, your guidance did really support and help me, finally I can do many flamenco tricks and thanks to you
Lick n Riff has done so much for my playing AND its FREE.....in my books this guy is awesome..... Cant give enough praise to someone who shares their skills. I subscribed after learning your autumn leaves lesson. So much to learn and not enough time bro.....Thank you thank you thank you!!
I completely agree with you, and that's why the name of the video is "8 Tricks" and not "8 Techniques". I made this video to help guitar players get acquainted with techniques nobody bothers to teach them online, and how to adapt those techniques to create their own sound, that's all. I have never said that I'm a flamenco player. I'm a guitar teacher. You don't have to be condescending about it.
I like your videos and your passion for teaching. See some guys here asking how to play the fan. They feel more natural to begin with the last finger. It is simply the right way. Technique is called rasgueado and it goes from the 5th to the 2nd finger
Hey, thanks! Most of those online lessons don't go further than learning chords and playing silly pop songs. I just stumbled on your videos and I think theyre exactly what I was looking for!
Been playing guitar 53 years and you're the best teacher I've found on youtube. Everyone has all these tricks and such for speed picking and whatnot but without electric what do the have. I love fingerpicking. Been practicing classical and will continue. Gotta love Steve Howe, great composer and performer.
Really really good lesson man. Loads of tutorials on youtube are terrible, this was perfect. Not only do you play well, but you explan it very well too. Can't wait to try this out, thanks brother.
I’ve been following your channel for years, Somehow I missed this gem. This morning I was working with your latest video “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”. I I’m so thankful for all the guitar instructor TH-cam contributors and dude YOU are one of the most unique (and probably underrated/under viewed) out there! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Practicing slowly (and repetition) is key to not killing your hand. Rushing your practice will make things sloppy. Boring as hell, but going fast makes things sound bad in the end.
Nylon.....and tap. I replace the steel stings guitar with nylon strings...works like a charm. Plus my guitar sounds totally sweet. Plus I don't have to use wide ass necks. Like the man say...take it easy. Im learning the harmonic minor scale...all of the chords, arpeggios, modes..ect Im already a bad ass shredder...but Just trying to learn this style of playing and music...but more in depth. I cant remember everything. Too many pick patterns..ect You just gatta pick out what you like. It gets easier as you go. it's never boring to me. Simply because I play different types of music.
Marco The guitar kid if you're a newbie...down tune your guitar so the strings will be softer. Also search on the youtube for how to set up an accustic guitar (only 1/4 of a turn to release the neck.) Accustic guitar actions are usually on the way to high side out of the box. See if ur local music store have bridge saddle. They should only be a couple of dallars. I personally slot mine to drop the action. Chord structure or building ( arpeggios) are simply every other note. Most of the time the V chord gets substitute with the harmonic minor. That's why it's a maj. Learn the Phrygian dominant mode..it's just the 5th mode of the harmonic minor. Then most of it will start making sense to you. Hotel Ca....sultain of swing and many other Spanish songs/ Eample..Hotel Ca ..its in B min but the V chord gets vamp...(substitute) I, V, vii, iv.... the F#maj is the V chord. Bm, F#maj, A, Emin....G, D, Emin, F#maj For sultan of swing...in Dmin It's actually a common movement in latin music....Plus Mark plays using his fingers,,,not a pick. I, vii, vi, V......The A is the V chord Dm, C, Bb, A III, vii, vi, I......( vi, vii) F, C, Bb, Dm...Bb, C
This is the one of the Most Useful and Inclusive videos I've ever seen! In one sitting you are showing the keys to playing the Flamenco Style. This gives me weeks worth of technique to master. Fantastic guitar lesson!!!
watever the haters will say.. they cannot deny the fact that this is an awesome video... with so much of stuff to learn from a 15 minutes video.. I am grateful that I came across this video..I suscribed!
Disclaimer? what? for teaching guitar? I play a little and am totally LOVING this. Not my style, but its MORE GUITAR and a way to add really cool details to certain songs. thank you.
Classical style uses three fingers and the thumb for tremulo. Hard to learn but awesome sound. Never tried with just two. Love your vids, man. What you are doing is great.
great lesson..love Spanish guitar, at 50 its too late for me to master Spanish style but to be able to incorporate these tricks ans spice things up is fantastic, going to pick up a classical guitar and fart around on it with your lessons, thanks
Been playing 40 years, multi-genre/guitar type...often would get "block" when trying to learn certain techniques "properly"...so, I would often (and still do) find a way (natural for me) to "mimic" many of the styles/techniques I was hearing...just got a classical guitar last winter, and here I am, again, generating my own (for me, I mean) ways of getting spanish/flamenco "vibes" from the guitar, and just loving it....thanx for this video, there is some great, just like you say, "tricks" here!! I will try some of these out...never mind the critical "purists"; what's the diff? A true "purist" can live with a) his form (eg. flamenco) maintaining it's cultural/musical form, while not freaking out, re ANY alteration from that form; he could appreciate Paco DeLucia on the one hand, and, say, the Gipsy Kings on the other, and not have an aneurism because the GK's DARED to mix Flamenco with salsa/pop....
hey brother!! thank you very much !! thanks to you tube.i m a pro in singing but very new to a guitar .now a person in india thousand miles away from you can even learn how to play a guitar....thank you very much ....you are an awesome guitar player and person as well...god bless you ...thanks!!
Hi, im spanish and I play "flamenco" guitar, the way we play the base is not this technique, no use of (pulgar). The tremolo isn't this way either is always p-i-m-a-i Hola soy español y toco la guitarra española, una cosa que creo que sabes y que tendrias que enseñar esque nadie toca con esa tecnica de pulgar el pulgar esta muy centrado en la cuerda 6 y 5, sobretodo tienes que decir como se hace bien el tremolo
I studied flamenco for quite a few years when I was young. All these techniques are required basics, and your execution of it will improve over the years. However, you "CAN" do this on a steel string quite comfortably without nail damage. The tip of your nails should barely be touching the strings, especially for the rasgueado. It's really easy on a 24 7/8" (short scale) guitar. Antoine Dufour, Gareth Pearson, and John Butler all use the rasgueado technique on steel string acoustics.
There are fundamentalists everywhere even in the world of music : Your videos are all excellent, this one and all the others. TY I'M CHARLIE , and sure "You are Charlie" also. A French Fan
I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF VIODEO LESSON.....NO ARGUE TO ME YOUR THE MOST INSPIRING TO FOLLOW...I WISH TO MEET YOU AND LEARN MORE IN PERSON....SALAMAT MARAMI...IN PILIPINO WORDS.
Un poco de uña en la mano derecha vendría muy bien para el flamenco. Todo fluye mejor. Resulta difícil hacer el trémolo con la yema de los dedos. Gracias por compartir!
after years of playing, flamecno is still a secret to me.., but still im very orientated on all levels, ..i like your way of teaching and playing , weldone!, thank you for reminders and new stuff, new approaches! im getting a drink, indeed you talk to much :)
Always a pleasure to hear from licknrif. I like this guy; bbq beer and happy dogs, easy to get git lessons. He would be welcome in my home. I still can lean a lot. I have spent good time with this lad great attitude
one day....with your help m8...i hope to be half as good as you...i love the spanish guitar style....paco de lucio is one of my favourites.....carry on doing what your doing for us much appreciated......thanks
Thanks a lot for these tricks! I've been looking for a way to import flamenco techniques into my steel string guitar playing. So special thanks for showing these tricks on the steel string guitar.
you are a joy to watch, please ignore all the knob heads who criticise you and keep on keeping on, oh one minor criticism though, can we have more of your dogs on the sofa
The triplet action you show is pretty standard on the ukulele. I use it all the time. (Is that a banjolele in the background?) A lot of peeps get stuck on technique instead of having fun and mastering their instrument in their way. I use banjo techniques on guitar too. They all work. Who knows, they may eventually give an individual and unique style. Nice tutorial. Subscribed. Thanks. Edit - I live in Spain. I see flamenco guitarists in the raw. They all have different approaches.
I enjoy just playing guitar, bt I suffered nerve damage in my left hand. Adding some quality picking patters to bag of tricks really to give a broader sound than what I am presently capable of, thank you very much.
Im not saying your wrong to play the rascuado (the 2nd one) as you do, it works fine but traditionally its done in reverse little finger, ring, middle then index, it just allows for more pow and therefore more punch wich is always nice!
Hello! Very nice video and cool tricks. I would like to give a suggestion that is concerning the tremolo. You wouldn't have had the problem at 8:06 if you picked with the ring finger instead of the thumb. By doing that you play the first string with a finger that rests near it instead of the thumb that is up all the way and rests comfortably in the D or A strings. Thumb, ring, middle and index is the pattern, pmai! Nice playing!
@junetsuabunai You should spread the thumb away from the rest of the fingers, 90 degree angle from the palm. That should make it easier on the double-downstroke.
I am thankful to our Lord l found your site. You are inspiring me to play again. God bless you and l pray he keeps blessing your amazing talent. Thank u so much.
The 'fan' is a rasguedo and should be done with the little finger first, then ring, then middle, then index and use the thumb to balance on the E string to start. Doing it the other way that you showed, while easier, won't allow you to get to a good speed and or/ a continuous roll (like the triplet, which is another type of rasguedo).
i like very much,very happi to learn from you, i tend to mess around and use some of your ideas already, but you are more formulated than i,pleasure to watch and learn from you, happi new year 2015 ok! cheers from nick miles in south yorkshire , england
Oh and in the tremolo flamenco tremolo is usually 4 plucks between the thumb but your right 2 is used. In classical 3 plucks are used (Fransico Tarrega recuedos alhambra) probaly misspelt
Tremolo was a little wonky bro! Great tips though for sure, for what it's worth I thought I'd just mention, especially to the poor chap with enraged cuticles, that it does help, for all the techniques, if you grow your finger nails! A must!
If I`m your going to be really picky (no pun intended) then flamenco tremelo picking is actually grouped in 5. So a pimai pimai etc pattern is used for each beat. What you've got there is classical tremelo picking which uses a pima pima etc pattern.
The first technique he mentioned and referred to as "triplet pattern" is usually referred to as "abanico" picking. Abanico is the Spanish word for "fan".
And thank you for the time you have spent sharing your talents. I have just gone through this lesson, and had to express my gratitude. Mucho thanks (I should speak Spanish as I have a half Spanish niece!)
just saw your coment ,if it s lecon you was waiting for i mshur after 4 year you stop play or your not very good because this guy is a joke if you never play before and follow him your wrong answer pls
Don't want to be "someone knowing it better". Just allow to post an additional comment: The "open fan trick" beginning at 3:20 - the "Rasgueado" might be played more comfortable and easier (even for beginners) doing it the other way round: pinky - ring - middle - index. - It is a much more ergonomic rolling off the finger fan and the way the majority (not to say all) of the flamenco guitarists do it. - - - Greetings from Berlin/Ger
to hell with all these wannabes giving you negative feedback. you are an awesome teacher/player! they're so jealous! i've been playing for 30 plus years every style of every kind and i think you really got it going on!

Im a total beginner, and will watch your video probably another 15000 times. Thanks for the awesome lesson. When you come to NY drinks are one me.
For more than 10 years I have tried doing some of the Flamenco techniques without success as my brain was programmed on the wrong method and I could not change my mistakes.

after lot of hard work for finding out a good tutorial about finger picking i found you............thanks for helping people like us god bless u
Really really good lesson man. Loads of tutorials on youtube are terrible, this was perfect. Not only do you play well, but you explan it very well too. Can't wait to try this out, thanks brother.
I’ve been following your channel for years, Somehow I missed this gem. This morning I was working with your latest video “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”. I I’m so thankful for all the guitar instructor TH-cam contributors and dude YOU are one of the most unique (and probably underrated/under viewed) out there! Thanks for all the inspiration!
My best guitar teacher, if you knew how many times your lessons socially helped me. Thank you, sensei
How do you do this without destroying your hand?
Practicing slowly (and repetition) is key to not killing your hand. Rushing your practice will make things sloppy. Boring as hell, but going fast makes things sound bad in the end.
Nylon.....and tap.
I replace the steel stings guitar with nylon strings...works like a charm. Plus my guitar sounds totally sweet. Plus I don't have to use wide ass necks.
Like the man say...take it easy.
Im learning the harmonic minor scale...all of the chords, arpeggios, modes..ect
Im already a bad ass shredder...but Just trying to learn this style of playing and music...but more in depth. I cant remember everything.
Too many pick patterns..ect You just gatta pick out what you like. It gets easier as you go. it's never boring to me. Simply because I play different types of music.
kim young that was the most helpful comment I received yet! Thanks
Marco The guitar kid if you're a newbie...down tune your guitar so the strings will be softer. Also search on the youtube for how to set up an accustic guitar (only 1/4 of a turn to release the neck.) Accustic guitar actions are usually on the way to high side out of the box. See if ur local music store have bridge saddle. They should only be a couple of dallars. I personally slot mine to drop the action.
Chord structure or building ( arpeggios) are simply every other note.
Most of the time the V chord gets substitute with the harmonic minor. That's why it's a maj.
Learn the Phrygian dominant mode..it's just the 5th mode of the harmonic minor.
Then most of it will start making sense to you.
Hotel Ca....sultain of swing and many other Spanish songs/
Eample..Hotel Ca ..its in B min but the V chord gets vamp...(substitute)
I, V, vii, iv....
the F#maj is the V chord.
Bm, F#maj, A, Emin....G, D, Emin, F#maj
For sultan of swing...in Dmin
It's actually a common movement in latin music....Plus Mark plays using his fingers,,,not a pick.
I, vii, vi, V......The A is the V chord
Dm, C, Bb, A
III, vii, vi, I......( vi, vii)
F, C, Bb, Dm...Bb, C
carrnil Hahahha. fantastic replay.
Totally blown away by the amount you can teach in such a short time.
No where is that rewind button?. The best lesson yet.

I cannot play the guitar but l love Spanish music, as it comes to flamenco. Great sound ! And a very clear explanation! Ciao from Italy :-)
Hey, how are you and the weather there?
This is WAY harder than it looks like. Insane level of mastery. Bravo.
I found this vid to be very useful, I also like the way it looks like there has just been a shoot out in the room, gives it an authentic feel!!!
Classical style uses three fingers and the thumb for tremulo. Hard to learn but awesome sound. Never tried with just two. Love your vids, man. What you are doing is great.

Thanks a lot for these tricks! I've been looking for a way to import flamenco techniques into my steel string guitar playing. So special thanks for showing these tricks on the steel string guitar.
The fan can be done backward... He's doing it like Ben woods but you can begin by the pinky
It usually starts with the pinky
not new things for me to learn but some of them are really from the scratch..and learning alot from your lessons in a new way ...
first thing...nylon strings
you are a joy to watch, please ignore all the knob heads who criticise you and keep on keeping on, oh one minor criticism though, can we have more of your dogs on the sofa

I enjoy just playing guitar, bt I suffered nerve damage in my left hand. Adding some quality picking patters to bag of tricks really to give a broader sound than what I am presently capable of, thank you very much.
You are so good, infact the way you explain everything, is so easy to watch, wonderfull simply wonderfull. Thank you for the lessons.
This is a great way to introduce the beginner to Spanish Guiter!
Dude thank you!!! A friend tried to learn me and he was quiet bad at it ^^ you made my day
Im not saying your wrong to play the rascuado (the 2nd one) as you do, it works fine but traditionally its done in reverse little finger, ring, middle then index, it just allows for more pow and therefore more punch wich is always nice!
Keep this up and, you will have a big following not long thereafter. Great job, Guitarman.
Thanks. You make this fun and I learn best when I'm having fun and not being made to feel thick headed.
Hello!
Very nice video and cool tricks. I would like to give a suggestion that is concerning the tremolo. You wouldn't have had the problem at 8:06 if you picked with the ring finger instead of the thumb. By doing that you play the first string with a finger that rests near it instead of the thumb that is up all the way and rests comfortably in the D or A strings. Thumb, ring, middle and index is the pattern, pmai!
Nice playing!
@junetsuabunai You should spread the thumb away from the rest of the fingers, 90 degree angle from the palm. That should make it easier on the double-downstroke.
I am thankful to our Lord l found your site. You are inspiring me to play again. God bless you and l pray he keeps blessing your amazing talent. Thank u so much.
Im from Indonesia...thanks for the lesson...its very kind of you...thanks...GBU
This lesson is just pure gold!
Thanks. Gate stuff will be nice to have a lesson on each part with chords.. Keep them coming...
The 'fan' is a rasguedo and should be done with the little finger first, then ring, then middle, then index and use the thumb to balance on the E string to start. Doing it the other way that you showed, while easier, won't allow you to get to a good speed and or/ a continuous roll (like the triplet, which is another type of rasguedo).
i like very much,very happi to learn from you, i tend to mess around and use some of your ideas already, but you are more formulated than i,pleasure to watch and learn from you, happi new year 2015 ok! cheers from nick miles in south yorkshire , england
Thanks man. This made me interrested in exploring my guitar in a different way! I appreciate that.
Oh and in the tremolo flamenco tremolo is usually 4 plucks between the thumb but your right 2 is used. In classical 3 plucks are used (Fransico Tarrega recuedos alhambra) probaly misspelt
Thanks, this was great! If I had one tiny wish it would be that you break down some of them a little bit more. But your lessons are wonderful. 🌞💖
One of the best lessons on youtube! You just expanded my repertoire. Muchas gracias mi amigo!
Tremolo was a little wonky bro! Great tips though for sure, for what it's worth I thought I'd just mention, especially to the poor chap with enraged cuticles, that it does help, for all the techniques, if you grow your finger nails! A must!
If I`m your going to be really picky (no pun intended) then flamenco tremelo picking is actually grouped in 5. So a pimai pimai etc pattern is used for each beat. What you've got there is classical tremelo picking which uses a pima pima etc pattern.
The first technique he mentioned and referred to as "triplet pattern" is usually referred to as "abanico" picking. Abanico is the Spanish word for "fan".
Dammnnn the first trick !!!! Could you send a more detail video on how to do that first strum? --- too difficult , eek!!
This is good for someone that doesn't know anything about Flamenco!
Always Best of best lessons for many years.thank you
You the man LicknRiff, you the Maaaaaaaaaaan. No need to explain yourself to trolls.
And thank you for the time you have spent sharing your talents. I have just gone through this lesson, and had to express my gratitude. Mucho thanks (I should speak Spanish as I have a half Spanish niece!)

just saw your coment ,if it s lecon you was waiting for i mshur after 4 year you stop play or your not very good because this guy is a joke if you never play before and follow him your wrong
answer pls
Nicely shown and explained. Thanks for the names to call the techniques also. Yay
That triplet at 10:28 gave me butterflies in my stomach! haha AMAZING
Don't want to be "someone knowing it better". Just allow to post an additional comment: The "open fan trick" beginning at 3:20 - the "Rasgueado" might be played more comfortable and easier (even for beginners) doing it the other way round:
pinky - ring - middle - index. - It is a much more ergonomic rolling off the finger fan and the way the majority (not to say all) of the flamenco guitarists do it. - - - Greetings from Berlin/Ger
+Eisenkoch I find it much easier from index first. Its preference.
Awesome! I'll try to be like him In the next 50 years.
