Flamenco Explained vs Practice Time‎

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

Practice Time is the practice partner every musician has needed but never had. Stop logging hours. Start logging real practice. THE PROBLEM WITH TRADITIONAL PRACTICE Sitting at the piano for two hours and actually practicing for two hours are not the same thing. Most musicians drift between repetition and genuine focus — and the gap between the two is where progress lives. Practice Time makes that gap visible. WHAT PRACTICE TIME DOES Tap your PracticeTag NFC card to start a focused session. The app tracks your time, keeps your metronome running, and builds a record of every session you complete. Tap again to end it. No setup, no friction — just focused practice. FEATURES Metronome — Free, always available. Adjustable tempo (30–240 BPM), time signatures, beat unit control, subdivisions, compound meters (6/8, 9/8, 12/8), and accent on the first beat.

Deep Practice can block distracting apps during a session using Screen Time (Family Controls). Earn XP and maintain daily streaks. Mystery rewards can add bonus practice time spread across upcoming days. SustainAI — Real-time pedal analysis using your iPhone’s microphone. Hear when sustain technique is creating harmonic blur — feedback that used to require a teacher in the room.
