I offer structured, technique-driven online lessons for students who want more than just chord charts. Trained in both the classical and flamenco traditions. My approach is methodical, but never rigid—I tailor each lesson plan to your goals, whether you are preparing for graded exams or simply want to understand the why behind the music. What I Cover in Lessons: 1.⁠ ⁠Classical Guitar Fundamentals · Posture & Hand Position: Achieving maximum efficiency with minimal tension. We look at sitting position, left-hand alignment, and right-hand resting stroke vs. free stroke. · Tone Production: Nail shaping, attack angles, and how to draw a singing tone from the instrument. · Sight-Reading & Theory: Learning to read standard notation confidently, not just tablature. We cover positions, key signatures, and how to interpret phrasing marks. · Repertoire Building: From Sor, Carcassi, and Aguado to Granados, Albéniz, and Villa-Lobos. I help you build a polished, performance-ready repertoire. 2.⁠ ⁠Flamenco Technique & Style · The Four Essential Strokes: Rasgueado (strumming variations), Picado (scale runs), Arpeggio, and Alzapúa (thumb technique). · Compás (Rhythm): Understanding the rhythmic cycles of Soleá, Bulerías, Tangos, Fandangos and many more. You will learn to feel the beat, not just count it. · Falsetas: Short, pre-composed solo phrases. We break them down phrase by phrase, then learn to link them together. · Accompaniment: Introduction to accompanying flamenco cante (singing) and baile (dance) – chord progressions, capo placement, and staying locked in with the singer. 3.⁠ ⁠Music Theory Applied to the Fretboard · Harmonic analysis of the music you are playing. · The difference between major/minor and the Andalusian cadence (Phrygian mode). 4. Creative Exploration · Once the fundamentals are solid, we explore arrangement. Learn to take a melody (folk song, film theme, or standard) and arrange it for solo guitar in flamenco style. Who This Is For: · Students preparing for formal music exams. · Self-taught guitarists looking to fix technique gaps and learn to read music. · Flamenco enthusiasts who want to move beyond "strumming" into authentic compás and falsetas. · Classical players curious about adding flamenco colours to their playing.
