Que bueno Juan! Your skill set seems perfect for that kind of thing. 1,000 mph picado

Nice Juan!

Any idea if it's possible to get the same swing feel on the rhythm guitar using flamenco technique?

imagine you'd have to just out your thumb and index loosely together and pretending to "pic" it no?

hi,

nice start jg7238,

Like flamenco the overall sound of gipsy sound come from the rest stroke technique and "common" licks or patterns that just sound good. I always thought that for soloing a pick is way better than picado, particularly the gipsy style picking, it allows fluidity, dynamics and phrases that are way more "musical" than picado in a context of improvisation
And yeah these guys are amazing ! You should check the new generation Antoine Boyer (THE rising star), Adrien Moignard, or sebastien giniaux who are amazing improvisers. Off course the "old" generation Angelo Debarre or Tchavolo schimtt are still swinging like crazy. And Bireli on a good day is amazing you must the know the tune for sephora by rosenberg check this improvised solo by Bireli :

What an amazing ear, so much freedom. Basically a theme that you can really sing it and it's made on the spot haha.
No licks really pure improvisation based on ear and skill. The difference between "al di meola wannabees 3 notes per string pattern" and taste and skill
I love how he harmonize the theme.

Tell me your opinion.
