Brooo, I was trying to figure out the Chords for the last 4 months. Thank you soooooooo much for sharing the chord. Btw, its really difficult to play 😅. Props to you for playing soo effortlessly 🤘🏻
Yes that's true. It took me months as well but that's a good thing. Don't go for quick and easy gimmicks. The things that are really beautiful and useful take time to develop. When you can do it, you'll be one of the few who can 😊
Thanks for pointing this out. I've been working on this technique on uke and it's slow going. I'm sure the low string tension doesn't make it easier but it sounds so good when you get it right.
@@finnmcool2 You're welcome! And actually the lower the string tension the better it is. It was invented on baroque guitar which has half the string tension as a modern guitar and it sounds much better. I actually think it doesn't sound great on modern classical guitars, in comparison.
@@squidward5110 As I said above, it takes months of serious practice. It's a very advanced technique but with slow metronome work and gradually speeding up when you master each level, you can certainly do it.
You see the thing is if it was for discipline no musician would ever get decent at any instrument It’s all about fun No discipline needed Seems like all the people get this wrong
@@junesuprise I can respectfully agree with that, cause you gotta love it and be obsessed with it so much that you never get bored or never wanna give up
This is called Rasgueados. In flamenco, there are various ways of performing it. This one is called abanico. You can also rest your thumb on the 6th string, and flick out your other fingers (a-m-i-i/down-down-down-up) strumming the other strings in a quadruplet pattern. Can also do quintuplet, starting with pinky. It takes a few weeks to get comfortable with it, and many months to get it easy, and a few years to get it sounding really good.
A Brazilian guy demonstrated it to me in a bar. I have a video of a girl trying to teach it. I have never cracked it. Just put it aside as one of the things I'll learn one day. 19 years have gone by. Maybe I'll have another try now As he says, it is the coolest strumming technique.
Dude, this comment is exactly my experience. 17 years and it's just not sunk in. A guitarist friend suggested I imagine it as wanking off the guitar lol.
I know, where I have seen that before! There is that youtuber, Slackanater. The first, perhaps still the only human to truly beat the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) classic 'Ninja Gaiden' without ever taking one hit. At one point that 'no-hit' run requires him to mash two of the controller buttons extremely fast for seven times. He turns the controller by 90 degrees, and does quite accurately this Repicco on that Japanese gaming device. Took him months of intense training. Led him to a unique success in the retro gaming world.
Thanks for sharing, and not making it overly complicated, not making it about you, not showing off (when you’re clearly capable), and for being very concise. 5 stars my man 🎉
Thanks man, i was boutta go to sleep then saw this reel stood up got my guitar and tried this for 10 minutes then gave up and now im mad and cant sleep anymore...😂😂😂
@@mandanglelow1442 With rhythm, note sequences that sound like nonsense the first time through make sense the second time through; but without rhythm, any note sequence is merely spelling out the word instead is speaking it. Indeed.
This guy is a amazing teacher. I learned Tremelo technique from this guy. ( To play Requerdos de la Alhambra) He Also plays the most beautiful and clean version of Requerdos de la Alhambra. He is a great source of inspiration.
I started playing as an adult. It took over a year to gain decent pinky control. It takes many muscles you don't use that way for other stuff, but practice really helps with the necessary patience!
@@brandonackerIs also very much like a technique used in playing handpan, although I think many players use the ring or pinky.. but after seeing this, I really wonder if it is the thumb and middle finger that is used just like here. Just beautiful! Also, you making the train talk!
Pick a key, do iv-III-II-I. Prefer chord voicings that only involve 3-4 strings, but instead of muting the other ones, let them ring away. You now know how to play vaguely flamenco-sounding stuff
Thanks a lot! thirty-three years ago I saw this technique in a Gypsy Kings video and tried unsuccessfully to understand how they do it! finally! You demystified it for me!
being precise about the motion by stressing only moving the forearm is what makes this an effective lesson. I don't like tutorials that don't pay attention to detail
@@itsthem5699 yes true but that is how I learned on my own without any instruction. Just listened to Spanish music and tried recreate the sounds. I've tried to do it with the proper Flamenco technique but I'm just to set in my style
Ben used the flamenco strumming technique called Rasgueado Abanico. It can be translated as strummed fan. That technique is a rolling triplet strum. What Brandon showed in the video is called Repicco. This is a rolling quadruplet strum and it originated on the Baroque guitar. These two strumming techniques not the same but are very similar even though they have different origins. Cool stuff!

@@gogglespaisano6483 yeah i rewatchedthe video and saw that he does that. Must be a classical thing smh

Thanks mate, I never used it before but I saw it from Rodrigo and Gabriela. Didnt know how it worked. Thanks again, timorrow I will practice it.
Aaah I was lookong for this technique since forever man thank you 🙏🏻 now I guess it takes the other half of my life to master it.
I knew never my pinky was adopted until I tried to finger a 7th chord. Been with me my whole life, I had no idea I couldn’t even use it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂

Thank you for the technique Brandon
This skill is so great, I hope you can make more videos teaching other skills
Rob Scallon teaches this technique called he called the sprint.. but he uses his index as well to create a triplet
It’s very much the way bodhran players move the drumstick, the tipper - same arm / wrist motion, to get downstrokes & upstrokes.
Yes! I noticed the same thing.
@@brandonackerIs also very much like a technique used in playing handpan, although I think many players use the ring or pinky.. but after seeing this, I really wonder if it is the thumb and middle finger that is used just like here. Just beautiful!

I heard this kind of strum quite often but always failed to do it myself because I don't know the proper technique, until I saw this! Thanks, Brandon
Now I perfectly understand how a helicopter starts.
Best rhythm lesson I've ever seen , you can practice this on a table , against your leg stomach etc , but best on the guitar , thankyou
Arrriba! WHOA, this is gonna help loosen up my wrist for everything else and this. bravo!
