In this course, I dissect and explain in precise detail this essential flamenco guitar technique from the very beginning steps. The course begins with understanding the bio-mechanics and how our physiology helps inform the actual technique. You will then learn a series of exercises to develop different aspects of the technique and build incremental understanding so you will have full ownership of the technique.
At the end of this course, you will learn a series of falsetas I created por Soleá. You will learn to apply your technique to one of the most important song forms in the art of flamenco.
Upon course completion (and with diligent practice), students will be able to dissect and understand the majority of flamenco guitar solos with alzapúa technique up to an intermediate level.

Aren't you tired of learning random guitar skills and techniques from various online sources and feeling like you're really getting nowhere?
I've been teaching guitar for more than 30 years. I have multiple fixes for every possible question but one of the BIGGEST MISTAKES I see guitar students make is skipping the absolute fundamentals. That's why I start from the very beginning so I KNOW that you have everything you need to play the guitar well from the very beginning.
