Here I play the 1st part of Paco Pena’s ‘La Lola’. I love this piece, as do my students who I teach it to. ‘Flamenco thumb’ is key here! Requires practice of the technique and to be very relaxed to ensure you get the notes out on time!

The rasgueado technique also requires a lot of practice and also a relaxed technique! Check out my videos under the techniques dropdown menu where I show you how to perfom both these methods.
