   Here is an Introduction to Taranta. This is a song of the Miners from the south of Spain, very serious sounding and a very good left hand exercise.

In later videos I will explore special Arpeggios with the thumb and 3 fingers as well as special Rasgueados.

Its such a cool technique (the hammer ons and pull offs combined) that I just had to learn it and I'm sure when you hear it for the first time, you will want to play it as well.

This is an very typical introduction that is a standard in the Flamenco Repertoire and when you hear some of the stuff going on in the next video I do for Taranta, you will just have to learn it (nails or no nails).

Standard tuning with the Capo on the 2nd fret and of course the tabs are done so as you can play anywhere on the neck, when you move the capo up one fret, all the chord shapes move up one.

Great lesson!

I don't know if I'll be focusing on your techniques in the near future, but it's very cool to see how many right hand techniques blend to guitar like they do for bass.

Hi 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.
