RE: Anyone want technique exercises?... (in reply to minordjango)
Hey MD, I think Grisha was referring to something similiar to this. It's giving it like a rumba aire to it. I would like to upload the whole etude using apoyando on the basses.
RE: Anyone want technique exercises?... (in reply to gemelo)
Hey Gemelo Fernando! Man, I got 700 posts on you! You gotta get busy!
I suggest you upload a more recent version of your picado for input. The sound and video quality was not very good, and that wasn't Flamenco! Who was that guy on the keyboard! Man, that reminded me of the 80's, but I didn't think you were that old LOL! Eighties stuff in the nineties I guess!
So, upload some nice flamenco please! I know you got some nice stuff in you.
PS for me, speed is coming very very slowly - like about less than 10 bpm per year - and long periods with little to no improvement. I will never get to the speed Grisha gets - forgettaboutit !!! Not even close. But I am getting happier with my rasgueo.
Anyways, epeed ain't everything. I plan to be the flamenco slowhand!

anyone know the rhythm for the above sanlucar arpegio piece ? why is it a good one whats the focus of it ?
why would it be better then others ?
hey, good questions, sorry i didn't get back to this sooner (from page 5)
rhythm of the study is 3 to the bar, so each tab note is an eighth note (1&2&3&)
seems to me it works the ring/a finger and also the middle finger in alternation with the ring finger as you can see the sequence is;
a m i m a m a m i m a m a m i m a m p p p
also i like the chord sequence; the run down the scale in the bass in the first part (i like to play all the p bass notes on the 4th string in the first part up to the open E, so i take some of them up an octave), and the modulation into E phrygian and then E minor. It's also quite good for practising left hand bars (there was a thread a while ago about left hand bars and strength etc.).
but really, i don't know, you'd have to ask Manolo, maybe there's someone around on here who has done a course or two with him and can tell us some more about it.
i came across it on the net and know Sanlucar is big on techique (i know someone who did like 3 weeks with him all exercises, and never even did this one), so thought i would try it out and liked it.

I play it first with that fingering, then again with a double arpeggio, then next time with a tarrega (gran estudio) arpeggio, next time with tremelo and finally with a very fast alternating triplet arpeggio
hi pimientitio, i get double arpegio and tremelo, but can you tell me what's the tarrega arpegio and the fast alternating triplet plz?

wish I could see those alazupa movement written out in tab but that's too much to ask surely its a lot to remember
X(n)= x(n-1) + x(n-2)
This is formula for an infinite amount of infinite sequences.
It would take forever to write out any one of them and nothing would be learned.
If you know how it works then the formula is great. If you don't then nothing will help.
For any long sequence you need to get the point (ie, where the melody is and where the chords change and what the basic RH pattern is) and generate everything else from that which makes the memorisation easy.
Unless you are a terrific sight reader (and if you need tab you aren't) having it written down might be a comfort but that's about all.

Thnx.
