Here's what the Weekly Lessons include:
Learning flamenco the traditional way
Every week the maestro digitally sits in front of you during your weekly session. Each session consists of a HD video recording of a full flamenco guitar lesson.
The maestro teaches by example, which is how flamenco has always been taught locally in Andalusia. You'll learn through the maestro's in-depth explanations and through imitation in what we call our "Authentic learning experience".
Authentic Learning Experience
The lessons are in Spanish, but we have made professional English subtitles for each lesson. This preserves the authentic vibe during each lesson while preventing anything getting lost in translation.
Learning through imitation is the way Flamenco has always been taught, however in case you are used to reading sheet music or tablature, we include both for every single lesson.
On-screen scores for faster learning: The tablature and sheetmusic are visible in the video as the maestro plays the examples. This way you can quickly copy the correct finger placements and chords, saving you a lot of time while studying.

Flamenco Styles
From Soleá to Siguiriyas to even the most elusive styles such as Peteneras or Bulerías. All styles are covered one by one during the weekly lessons. This is important as a flamenco guitarists should have a grasp of at least the basics of each style.

The Online Flamenco Community: “¡Compadres!"
Our private members facebook group allows you to come into contact with your flamenco brothers and sisters. Exchange experiences, help each other out and share your progress.
