RE: Giuliani study to practice some ... (in reply to jg7238)
Christ on cracker !! Awesome I've just starting going back to these but omitting the thumb and varying the chords but mainly to strengthen fingers and rythmic syncopation and hand position Early days and very slow Thanks

Thanks Ramzi. This one is a lot of fun to play. Thanks Dudnote.. I've seen many of her videos and she is an amazing player for sure. You have to see her playing "La vida Breve"..

Nice video Ramzi. Thanks for that. It brings back some memories. One of my very early uploads. I was just learning it.
Dude, thank God for flamenco guitarists per se playing flamenco guitar material. I could NOT tolerate listening to any of her "picado" runs anymore. I mean, she's 10 times better / faster than me, but her tone no es flamenco!
Plus, how awesome is it for us to see you play this and flip the pages as you do so? Olé! That is how REAL flamenco guitarists do it.

Gosh Giuliani exercises are so musically bad I can't stand it. Technic stuff need not have zero melodic direction and purpose. I avoided these studies like the plague in college. Ugh.

That's interesting, man. I actually really like how this study sounds. Has that sort of typical "classical sounding" harmony, at least to my ear.

I'm having the reverse problem. Roland Dyens's passing away prompted me to study some of his material more closely but I'm not at all trained for classical guitar, just flamenco. My guess is that to the ear of a classical guitarist, my way of playing his arrangements would be blasphemous! Oh well, I'm still having fun with it!
