This lesson series is not meant to teach you how to become an authentic Flamenco guitarist, nor to teach the art, rules and rhythms of Flamenco. Instead just the Flamenco techniques and some alternatives Ben Woods uses in his music.

Rest in peace dear Ben. You have been a great inspiration to many musicians.

[MMHIMU]

The best teacher i have ever seen on youtube. He doesn’t talk too much. He plays more than talk. Thanks!

[LongTrout]

holy shit. How awful. Rest in peace bro. I cried when I heard. I did not know you until you were gone. You have touched me.

[tanmaysaha]

Your contributions will be remembered. Rest in peace..💐

It's like you read in my mind... I was just telling myself few days ago I should start learning all the basics and you post a series.. thanks a lot for sharing master!

[MrSlinky]

You are a legend and my entire inspiration for learning the guitar

[SharpEdgeStandardOfficial]

Ben is so great! There's a reason why nearly every accomplished guitarist out there that can play fluent in any style, jazz, blues, classical, u name it, they all will attest to their versatile abilities yet all say the same thing about what they cannot do very well...that's Flamenco guitar!!!

[blascarrasco]

This is by far the best explination of doing the rolling rasgueado that I've seen. Thanks!

[dayka]

I have 13 years of guitar background (classical first then rock/metal/blues/gispsy jazz stuff) and this is the first time I really struggle to do something. You really are a great guitarist sir.


Rolling abanico triggers me so hard, it's impossible for me not to stop between the pinkie stroke and finger stroke 2:12)

[seanhallahan]

Thank you again, Ben, for sharing your wealth of knowledge and expertise!

[foomotoquasique]

.Your version of Mr. Scary is amazing, i had to get the book, and thank you so much for these basics, i have been playing rock as well as finger picking for decades, its like starting over to get Flamenco right !

[jamesmccann]

I really appreciate that you post these helpful lessons. I have a classical background but am trying to learn flamenco techniques, and it's been wonderful to turn to these videos. I'm so wary of practicing badly, and learning lousy technique. This is helping a lot.

[MedalionDS]

This is the technique I've been trying to learn for years... I don't practice nearly enough...but I wanna have this in my arsenal

[zacharydeyo]

Could you go into further detail with rolling the rasgueado in the future? You roll it perfectly without a space between each set. I do mine backwards like you do because I think the proper way builds too much tension in my hand. Thank you for making these videos you explain them perfectly. Hope to see more in the future!

[Skelterbane]

Awesome, I've been doing this stuff on bass and I finally found what the technique is called

[shosho_hrubblefongers]

Nice and clean instruction, mister Woods.

[martonkuklis]

[ElMehdd]

[bladecullen]

Thanks for this Ben. It took me about 4 months to get the rasgueado technique right and now i´m starting to get better at 5 tremolo stroke. Great stuff man.

[TheStuderman]

Really excellent. Will definitely buy one of your lessons.
