Hi all, I'm just kinda hitting a slow point in my technique and wondered if any of you would like to share your favorite technique building exercises/drills/studies??

I probably should review the ones I DO have as well haha

Thanks in advance.

Forget about the video! Look down yourself. Pretty self explanatory.

I love your technical exercises Rombsix, because they are not only good for technique but they also sound good (are musical). I just started playing flamenco a year ago and these exercises are really useful to improve basic technique. Rombix his arpeggio exercise (I believe based on a piece by Lobos) is also worth doing.

Thanks and keep up the good work guys.

Great stuff guys !! you two deserve some sort of a flameno gift bag :-) for being so active and good for the foro

Love that first one Ramzi, will steal that...and the one of you singing lol ..you quite a character don't ever change amigo



Elie you got some great alzapoua stuff man !! gonna steal some..just downloaded the vid...was trying to figure out if the bulerias stuff was very chicuelo sounding and then i glanced at your profile pic...and "oh, of course :-)"...great stuff man

you picado and alzapua are sounding great, i dont know if you have had a big improvement more recently or have always sounded this good but wow ...well done amigo


thanks again guys, il try to contribute to this but at the moment i am inspired to try some of yours..i am in the mood to learn something new rather than show something

BTW.
Elie i got another version of your tientos one, you might have seen it by now ...minus the chords which is substituted for picado all the way through if u want it..


it would be a perfect world if we had..specific places for this kind of stuff or make it a sticky thread...so it dosent get lost with time...but Simon has probably got a lot on his plate atm
