How do you travel with your guitar by plane?

My question is - how can I get as cool as you, Joonas? :)

Hi Joonas! I've been learning some simpler flamenco pieces (for example Juan Martin) to understand the basic techniques of flamenco. So, I've gained basic knowledge of bulerias, solea, alegrias etc. But one thing I really struggle with is trying to compose something of my own since flamenco music differs a lot from western style of phrasing and such. As a person not born to the flamenco culture, do you have any tips on how to compose own music that sounds flamenco and not just noodling in Phrygian mode? Ps. Terveisiä Suomesta!

How to get rid of tension while playing ? and how to know if I am setting the correct posture? thanks

Is there a shortcut to learning the style and the material, meaning the songs and singing styles or does one need to immerse in the culture and step by step familiarize with material. Or could one accompany a singer or be a solo performer without this knowledge? What would a fakebook of flamenco consist of?

The one and only Moraito :)

Hi Joonas, another cool idea from you :) I'm still visiting Sevilla as much as possible and am now happy sitting outside cafe Central in Alameda and playing along with friends. (progress 😃 ) Teachers in Sevilla seem to like to add a certain amount of "mystery" to their lessons and Flamenco as a whole, meaning a lot of clever inversions, fills, alt chords etc. I can understand that some phrases are extended or contracted depending on the mood of the singer, but does the general progression remain the same, meaning: Is it possible to play Bulerias Letras with a common (basic) chord progression, whilst adjusting the length of phrases according to the singer? (It may sound boring and mechanical but will seriously help when I am totally lost 😩 )

Great ❤

Muy bueno !!! OLEEEE !!! Muy buen compas.

Joonas, How can I purchase it in U.S. of America ?

the best❤❤❤❤

Perfect ❤❤

Excellent stuff Joonas! More people should be subscribed to you!

❤👍🏼

This book is beyond awesome and is exactly what I have been looking for quite some time. I love how it progressively goes from extremely basic level to some pretty advanced stuff. Thanks for including Fandangos...I love that Palo!

Your channel is a great treasure for finding great falsetas! Please continue posting!

I really love this book. Will it be any Vol 2?

Joonas rocks ! I’m learning flamenco right now ala Juan Martin’s book and the buleria is what I am currently learning …and this is how I want my buleria to sound ! Thanks from North Carolina

A bit unrelated Joonas but I kinda dig that thing that you're wearing on your head. What's it called? I wanna try it out!

Joonas! Thank you so much! I have been taking private flamenco lessons for the last two years and I've learned more in the last 2 weeks from watching your videos. You are an excellent teacher. I finally understand how things fit together and your technique is very clear. I'm looking forward to getting to the next level with your help. Keep it coming!

Switching to classical right hand techniques doesn't feel weird since you're a flamenco guitarist?

Arsa!

The Alzapua with the thumb I've learned in Buleria years ago from my teacher - was so hard to learn the Alzapua

does fandango have yamada?

I received mail from finland today and received the book😍✊🏻

I have it Joonas😎 Of course it's been a while since my last post here, but due to life circumstances (work, building a house and family) I only have limited time, unfortunately. In my free time I dedicate myself to instrument making and learning your excellent tutorials. I admit, I'm not one of those guitarists who finds everything easy and has to practice hard for it. Of course, I've now acquired the skills and techniques that make a lot of things easy for me, but I'm still having a hard time gnawing on your pieces. It's even nicer when I can do it. Modern Saga is another piece of yours that I would like to learn...but it's really difficult 😂 Next week we're going to Sweden in the motorhome and of course the guitar and amplifier are with us for effective learning and nice evenings around campfires with new people 😊🙏🏻 And I've kicked Spotify out of my workstation and changed to TIDAL, because the Spotify quality is catastrophic😂

Ha, well it's just over a week using this book now and I give it top marks!!! Excellent! I'm studying Tangos from the beginning and the book starts with REALLY easy compas 1. So I drilled that in and repeated it so I could play it without thinking. Did the same with compas 2 & 3 and then on to the first Remate. Seems to be working :-) The videos are an essential help too and love the option for the slower versions. When I hear Joonas play an "odd timing" to my ears I can go to the slow version and watch carefully. A-haa! Got it. This book is a must have for any flamenco guitar student in my opinion. I'm looking forward to getting into the more difficult compas as I get these simple ones learned. Thanks you Joonas for providing such an excellent and essential study book. I couldn't afford the P&P for the hard copy so I got the download... I simply write out the tab by hand so I'm not having to look at a screen all the time and that suits my style of learning. Hopefully when volume 2 is released I'll have more money for the physical copy 🙂

Richtig richtig genial👌🏼🔥 wurdest mir von Micha aus Deutschland empfohlen😎

No, kultaseni, tilasin juuri kirjan. Kahden viikon päästä ajellaan läpi Ruotsin matkailuauton ja kitaran kanssa😊 Toivottavasti kirja saapuu ajoissa, mutta vaikka ei, niin se on täällä kaikkien muiden kirjojen kanssa - rakastan kirjoja. Ainoa asia, joka voi muodostua ongelmaksi hyvin pitkällä aikavälillä (tällä hetkellä se on tietysti progressiivista), on kirjan QR-koodit... Luulen, että jotain fyysistä, kuten CD:tä, olisi parempi tulevina vuosina. Joka tapauksessa, odotan sitä innolla.😊 Google käännetty tänne😂 Herzliche und treue Grüße aus Deutschland, Micha ✊🏻

I have just ordered it. Thank you so much for all those things you shared with us it was really helpful. All the best 😊

I'd prefer the hard copy, an actual book but with nearly £14 postage on top of the price of the book I can't afford that 😞 So I'll have to go for the digital download which is unfortunate as I hate on screen tab.

I just ordered your book. As a side note, I was watching a documentary about the people in and around the two families of the Gypsy Kings. There was a very young girl dancing and a young boy on the guitar. She stopped and said: "Just play the compas." Yes, it is that important.

Ole!

Excellent stuff sir.

Brilliant! Going to try to learn this... probably next year. Its mood reminded me a little of "If I Had A Heart" from the TV series Vikings... But not as dark.

this is a magical solea, gut wrenching with passion this is real Flamenco. Fantastic work Joonas

For the record, there is only one pick-up in this guitar - the piezzo under the saddle. There is not another physical microphone as he says at 1:35. The other "mic" is a sampled sound that is contained within the electronics of the pre-amp.

When I close my eyes I hear the virtuosity of Diego Del Morao, clear bright and understandable to the modern heart of Jerez. Brilliant and soul moving...thank you for this gift of soul, sound and the ultimate expression on 6 strings.

Thank you so much for the hard work you put in to let me hear such heavenly tunes ❤❤❤❤

My God!! this was by far the craziest thing I've heard from you !

Tangos a compass

Cool sounds ,dynamics and emotions vao... you may be a satisfied man... I may ask the type of the microphone on the guitar. I guess this goes into the effects. ( from fanatic Hungary )

Just ordered your new book, can't wait to start relearning (over 20 year) as I have played and taken lessons in Spain, too many teachers and some confusion. I really like your modern yet traditional style of playing. Be well my friend. James from Canada

Was nice to see you at the Helsinki Tonefest '24!

Ive been lingering on pressing the button to buy this guitar, your test inspired me and persuaded me to buy it. Subscribed!

What an amazing and wonderful composition. So clear and beautifully played. Thank you for sharing your music. 💗

Useful content thanks 🎉

Eres

Perfecto!!!❤

a la Moraito! OLE!
