    Hi, thanks for the informative video on right hand technique.

    Being over 6ft tall and having long extremities (hands, wrists, forearms, elbows, and upper arms) is one of the difficulties I have been dealing with in trying to learn right-hand flamenco techniques. Hand positions that shorter guitarists utilize are either not able to be achieved or with difficulty by me. I don’t know if Tino van der Sman’s videos deal with the issues of being a taller guitarist and having to adapt the positioning of ones body to the guitar or not.

      Hi Frank,
      As maestro Tino is a long guy himself he is the perfect person to learn this from.
      The fundamentals of the solea course covers these kinds of topics.
