Flamenco Explained vs Fretboard Memorization Toolbox

Learn flamenco guitar online with a clear, structured approach Flamenco Explained is an online flamenco guitar learning platform for people who are new to flamenco — from complete beginners to experienced guitarists — who want to understand rhythm, technique, and structure, not just copy videos. A clear, step-by-step way to learn flamenco guitar without feeling overwhelmed or intimidated. — WHAT IS FLAMENCO EXPLAINED Flamenco Explained is the most comprehensive flamenco guitar learning resource available, with 900+ in-depth video lessons covering: • Technique • Rhythm (compás) • Styles (palos) • Falsetas • Guided courses Flamenco can be taught, learned, and understood. Traditionally, flamenco guitar has been taught by rote — you sit with a teacher, copy what they play, and are told what to practice next, often without explanation. Flamenco Explained is inspired by that tradition, but goes further by clearly explaining how flamenco works, so you understand what you’re playing and why. The focus is not on mystique or gatekeeping, but on clarity, structure, and musical understanding. — NEW TO FLAMENCO DOESN’T MEAN NEW TO MUSIC Many members of Flamenco Explained already play guitar at a high level or have formal training in other musical traditions. Flamenco uses a unique rhythmic language and structure that is rarely explained clearly elsewhere. This platform was built to bridge that gap — which is why it’s used both by complete beginners and experienced musicians who are new to flamenco guitar. — A STRUCTURED LEARNING PATH: THE CAMINO If you’re new to flamenco or want strong foundations, you can follow The Camino — a guided learning path designed to take you step by step from the fundamentals to your first complete flamenco guitar solo. Along the way, you’ll learn: • Essential flamenco techniques • Core rhythmic forms (compás) • How falsetas are constructed and used • How everything fits together musically The Camino provides structure and direction, while still allowing you to move at your own pace. — A DEEP LIBRARY FOR FOCUSED LEARNING If you already have experience or want to work on specific topics, you can explore the library freely, including: • Technique breakdowns • Palos (flamenco forms) • Falsetas and solo material • Accompaniment concepts for singers and dancers • Topics rarely explained elsewhere Lessons are organized so you can study broadly or dive deep into exactly what you need. — YOUR SUBSCRIPTION INCLUDES • Access to 900+ high-quality flamenco guitar lessons • Downloadable music notation and TABs • HD video with multiple camera angles • Progress tracking so you can pick up where you left off • Community comments and feedback — Terms of Service: https://learn.flamencoexplained.com/tos Privacy Policy: https://learn.flamencoexplained.com/privacy

Here's a quick summary of my relationship with the wonderful art of music: I started taking classical guitar lessons at the age of 10, way back in the late 20th century (1987 - good times). I continued on to take theory, harmony, ear training, solfege, and other boring lessons, until I graduated from the Greek National Conservatory with a diploma in classical guitar. I was then fortunate enough to get a Fulbright Program scholarship which allowed me to enroll in Berklee College Of Music in 1997. I concentrated on electric guitar and also took classes in improvisation, composition, arranging, production, engineering, and more. I graduated "Summa Cum Laude" (which basically means "this guy is very good") in 2001, with a degree in Music Production and Engineering (although I now find teaching and playing way more fun). Since 2001 I have been living in Limassol, Cyprus, teaching music to students of all ages and levels, and taking part in various bands and projects playing guitar or electric bass. The last few years I have concentrated in developing new ways to teach (and learn) music more effectively. Since 2014 I have started the process of putting these methods into digital format. These are tried and tested effective methods, so expect more and more good stuff coming to this app! https://string.systems/privacy-policy https://string.systems/terms SUPPORT Need help?
