al christie12th October 2007thanks for your kind response.
al christie12th October 2007You don't need to have long nails, but some nails to get a good tone,otherwise it sounds a bit dull.
4Play12th October 2007Damn, thats a great lesson!! I'll try to get something out of it as soon as I pick up my jaw from the floor
Muris Varajic13th October 2007Great Al,brilliant combination of grooves and chords!
Vinod Saranga14th October 2007NIce lesson Al
al christie19th October 2007Hitting the beat with your right hand,its just a down beat,maybe there is a special name I'll look it up.
Kizaze4421st October 2007Al, I always thought the flamenco sound is great, but I took the technique for granted - it's hard at first, but once you establish "muscle-memory" with the right hand, it's incredibly fun. Thanks - I will incorporate flamenco in my playing for the rest of my life.
Gratefully Yours,
Kizaze
hi Al
little question about your very nice video:
can you explain the firt stroke you give when playing the chord. It seems you put a lot of srength in it and it sounds well and agressive at the same time. may you bring some precisions?
thanks
Farbror Kudde29th October 2007wow this is your best lesson, awesomeness!
al christie6th November 2007The first stroke is played with a tap which gives it more punch,its played with the fleshy part of the thumb going through after with the nail and tapping exactly on the beat at the same time with the third finger.
wow!! sounds great, like in spain ;-)
in Part 10, what chord do you play on "stop" ?
al christie12th November 2007I start of with E minor then stop on B7, continue with E minor until the end.
Philippe26th December 2007I didn't know anything about this kind of music but you made me want to learn.
DeepRoots31st January 2008"what is the sound of one hand clapping?" Its just been answered

al christie11th April 2008Hi thanks for your comments, I want to do some more, but unfortunately at the moment I have so many students, I have no time to do video editing.
I will try as soon as I can to do some more.
Brilliant lesson! I thought flamenco would be too hard to learn but I can now with ease
Chokehold24th July 2008i really liked the ending biggrin.gif
Great lesson, but can you learn us the intro too ?
Aleksander Sukovic15th March 2009Excellent lesson! Very useful stuff, indeed. 
Hi, that is why I came here........ to learn the rumba!
So I really hope you will post another lesson very soon.
Thanks anyway it is great and powerfull when you play it well
A Rumba lesson using different popular chord changes that you will hear on many records. The chords are not that difficult, but to change with the rhythm is.
