Flamenco Guitar Lessons

I’ve tried learning this style before with books – but they are no good without a tutor. . . . . .

This set is excellent, clear and easy to follow at a good pace.
The biggest frustration for me is my own impatience to learn. I have a semi acoustic guitar and really need to obtain a spanish/classical one to get an authentic sound.

I have learned to stop myself and practise each little bit over and over before going onto the next bit.

I’ve tried other sites, but have found mostly just rubbish. I’ve trailed through dozens and this site is the best and most importantly – it’s fun.

Until now, any real instruction has been unavailable. . . . . . 

They are the usual high-quality lesson we have come to expect from Mike and Jerry, and the only ones like it I’ve found.

As with most new styles I have issues with the correct strumming.
These videos break down each part with concise, and easy to follow instructions and show clearly what is required in order to play the pieces correctly.

I’ve tried learning from listening to music, and watching competent players. Until now, any real instruction has been unavailable.

I always learn your stuff well/easily and stick with it. . . . . .

These are Unbeatable value for the price, but PLEASE tell us what guitar models/elec guitar settings/strings, etc., you are using!!

My carpal tunnel problem means seriously getting to grips with Spanish/classical style is out. Your videos are a nice compromise for me.

It’s helped me pick it up much faster and because of that, you can’t help but get excited . . . . . . .

Mike and Jerry a fantastic job as ever.

I’ve been trying to learn this type of guitar for well over a year and these videos help massively. Most other learning materials assume you have an intermediate understanding of music, whereas with these you can just open and start playing. I find this style of learning so much better, than going through page after page of chords, before you can even play a note.

It’s helped me pick it up much faster and because of that, you can’t help but get excited, which means you practice more and you get better.

I’ve got other learning materials, but with those I’m still learning the basics after a year.
Books, DVDs (although some are pretty good), youtube, friends,

I usually don’t even know where to start,except with your course it’s pretty straight forward. . . . . 

They seem easy to learn, and they are well done.

With other methods I’ve tried it just seems too difficult, so I don’t even try. I don’t even know where to start,except with your course it’s pretty straight forward.

It gives me hope and a starting place.

Just about every other method failed me on one way or another. .

These are excellent, as are all of Mike’s videos.

The rigidity of there is only one way to play as far as fingering and pick with these lessons you can make them work for you regardless of what style you play from Delta blues to classical.

I only got them a short time ago and have already made strides toward playing several pieces.

Just about every other method failed me on one way or another. The addition of the “play through” helps to seam all of the bits of the song together.

Your lessons are so easy to follow and when I master them it will raise me to another level...

Hi Mike, Your videos are just sensational.

In the past I have searched in the shops for stuff and it's too hard to grasp out of a book and more to the point they are expensive.

I paid £40 for Jxxx Mxxxxx xx Guitarra Flamenca, 3books and a viedo and after 2 years is still lying on the shelf.

Your lessons are so easy to follow and when I master them it will raise me to another level.

It was hard at first getting the little finger to come out first to get that spanish feel but I used to practice on the armchair with my fingers while watching the T.V.

The rest of the stuff is like all of your lessons, easy to follow and you can tackle them at your own speed.

It's basically got me going again because I felt as though I'd hit a brick wall with the other stuff I'd bought.

It's a ball breaker when you are trying to learn new stuff out of a book and you can't get help.

Your lessons are just at the right speed for me to comprehend.

These have very much helped me to expand . . . . .

These are fine for video and tab quality – but maybe more focus on some of the more difficult sections (although I just started playing again so I know my being rusty doesn’t help) my qualty of playing and being slower to pick up on this (due to my having not played in the past 2 years – so my fault there!)

These have very much helped me to expand – the only other piece I had was your short piece of “Spanish Guitar” from earlier lessons so this is nice to have to expand on.

I picked up on folk/rock style finger picking and finger picking patterns very quickly.

I guess the hardest to pick up on are just those that use odd chords that have very difficult and very streched fingering.
