Arpeggio patterns

Hi folks,

I did a search here to find some arpeggio patterns to practice; no joy!

Can anyone recommend any videos, etc. I’m not necessarily after falsetas; more like different exercise patterns or perhaps short phrases that doesn’t require a lot of time learning them.

Much appreciated.
A

Gerardo Nuñez Encuentro DVD?

Pedro Sierra's Tecnica cd? (you can get a download of tabs for it from the record company)

(the question marks are 'cos I half assume you might have them already?)

It is the intro arp to this tune. It's tricky at speed.

Thanks for your recommendations chaps.

I hear a lot about Gerardo Nuñez Encuentro DVD as an invaluable source, I'm afriad I don't have it and the only supplier seems to be la sonata who are a bit pricy!

Thanks again.

Keep searching the foro, there are many arpeggio exercises buried in threads, for example in this thread;

Cheers Orson

El Flamenco Vive seems to be much cheaper than La Sonata. Are they reliable?

I'm sure there's hell of lot of good excercises posted by the folks here, it's just the matter of digging them out!

Many thanks again.

I like geometry.

Run these four twelve note patterns in 12/18,6/8 and 3/4 (I am presenting them in three four) and, if you understand the pattern and work slowly that should see you through about 98% of the material ever written for fingerstyle guitar in any style ever and also give you a warmup that lasts very few bars and covers an awful lot of bases. (HINT, especially if you move directly to scale fragments after arpeggios with same RH fingering).

IT WONT SOUND COOL but it will make cool things easier to play.

"Buy" the Gerardo Nunez DVD/Book, it's well worth it, and supporting him is
a good thing to do. :)

Now that I think about the subject.... it must really suck having many videos of something that you like (flamenco) but not understanding a word.

Funny thing is that I can understand pretty much anything said in spanish but when it comes to flamenco singing I only get a few words besides "ay ay ay ayyyyy ubidubi jee aihnnnn".

I've used them three or four times and have never had a problem. They've quickly answered email enquiries and delivery has always been on time.

Encuentro vids are not cheap. You do get a DVD and a book. They are not mediocre nobodies you have never heard of apart from their "easy learning flamingo guitar" vids - they are top players. Riqueni, Tomatito, Chicuelo, Gerardo, Moraíto, Pepe Habichuela, Enrique de Melchor, Manolo Franco etc. playing their own falsetas that you hear them playing accompanying singers and in solos. There is some "break down" of material, but not lots, although most of the stuff is played at normal speed and in slow versions (though some of them seem more like "slightly less fast" versions!

)

Most of them are an hour long, but the Gerardo one is particularly good value as it's two hours. The first half is devoted to technique, broken up into sections on each technique, pulgar, arpegio, picado etc. You get lots of Gerardo's little exercises and studies, and falsetas that focus particularly on technique etc. It's probably worth the price for that half alone.

You also get another hour of his compositions, again mostly with normal and slow versions (list of this compositions section: 01. Tangos 02. Bulerías 03. Soleá por Bulerías 04. Tanguillo 05. Farruca 06. Vals flamenco 07. Paso doble)

AFAIK yes, I have bought from them a few times in the last year or so and they deliver. deflamenco are also reliable, and sometimes cheaper, but worth comparing prices inc. shipping.

It's not flamenco, and not an exercise, but the version of "Scarborough Fair"
here is ear pleasing, fun to play, and has a lot of arpeggio variety in it.

It's because that's what they're saying.
