metalhead -> Alazpua por solea (Jan. 12 2025 15:29:08)

I'm thinking of starting to upload short videos of falsetas to track my progress...

This one I got from Ricardo's yt:

excellent timing, good job. Also, beautiful golpeador. [:D] Seriously, you need to get a proper flamenco guitar at your playing level. It will change your life. [8D]

You should recommend he acquire a real sticker rosette too




Stu -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 12 2025 22:31:48)

Nice one man. Good on you for uploading.
Sounds good to me. But yes! Flamenco guitar. [:D]




devilhand -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 13 2025 10:06:46)

They will never give you a flamenco guitar. Yet they constantly remind you to buy one.

I can't afford one and even if I could, they are not available in my country ...

ToddK used to play and record with a $350 Yamaha. If you guys make some nice videos playing your best, and ask for donations for an upgrade, see what happens.

Rombsix recorded with it too:

Surely you can both rustle up a few hundred pounds?
(Devilhand is your been saving 5 pounds each day since you joined this place you'd be good to go now! )

One of you is talking a lot about going pro and the other is just talking a lot. You are clearly into this stuff so.....

Also metalhead? No flamenco guitar in your country?
I find that difficult to believe in 2025. But what about ordering a cheap one on line?

Doesnt have to be a 3 grand guitar.




silddx -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 13 2025 14:04:39)

Really good!

There are loads of reasonable starter flamenco guitars about for less than £500 GBP.

What are import costs like where you are?




Manitas de Lata -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 13 2025 14:50:23)

thats really nice , guitar also sounds good.

which country/place?

do you have the link for the falseta?

No, they are not available and there's a good few countires where flamenco guitars are not available...

I haven't checked because I'm not sure a guitar shipped from abroad is gonna be in one piece when it arrives [X(]




metalhead -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 13 2025 15:12:14)

Thanks, i got it from here:





Manitas de Lata -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 13 2025 15:41:16)

thanks man will try to study this.

Are you in Kazaquistan ?




JasonM -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 13 2025 16:03:33)

Whoa nice playing!

Are you rotating your wrist for the alzapua downstrokes?

yes . when I'm going fast it's more of a jerk motion from the wrist but the momentum for me definitely comes from the wrist




JasonM -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 13 2025 18:33:01)

Ok good, it was hard to see from the camera perspective




devilhand -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 14 2025 0:18:21)

What is your string height at the bridge and at the 12th fret?
Looks like your string action is low enough for flamenco guitar playing.




Stu -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 14 2025 8:15:55)

Manitas de Lata -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 14 2025 9:44:02)

even Brasil have some flamenco guitarreros , nice ones by the way..
If theres no one in our country , theres allways one near.

Maybe not in North Korea

Your guitar also looks to be made of err... wood, which is suitable for flamenco playing.

I count 1, 2, 3...yep it has all 6 strings for sure!! Perfect!!! Well, I guess if one breaks he can play por medio.




estebanana -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 15 2025 15:22:57)

I keep comparing the $350.00 Yamaha full size solid top classical and flamenco models with much more expensive guitars. Really you could get the 350 dollar Yamaha Blanca and go out and play gigs with it. I’ve compared them with guitars that cost four or more times the cost of the Yamaha and it’s so close, or the Yamaha is far superior that not getting cone is folly.

The next price tier up from the Yama is 2000 USD. Last month I compared one to a 1000 USD Takamine and it was no contest the Takamine was a slug.




metalhead -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 16 2025 14:35:39)

they are not available here.. I have been eyeing the CG172SF for over a year and it's always out of stock everywhere..

its hard to help not knowing where you are...




JasonM -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 16 2025 17:40:54)

I fixed a cracked top on my cg171sf a couple years ago and realized the fan struts were uncarved square sticks! Top was thick too. I mean Who needs salted braces?

Come on man, don’t be that guy who gets me agitated about salty dedos.




estebanana -> RE: Alazpua por solea (Jan. 17 2025 6:31:37)

This one CG182SF

The most inexpensive model. It’s about $270.00 USD they usually play with the set up right out of the box.
