New Video. Another song filler. Sorry. I have nearly reached the required 4000 watch time hours to re monetize this channel.
COMING SOON: I am putting the finishing touches on a proper flamenco tutorial for a 20 year old Guajiras performance video. I cleaned up the video and sound and had to write down the tab from scratch.

I just uploaded a new 23-minute video that is part daily practice routine and part honest update on where things stand with the channel.
If you've wondered why I haven't posted a dedicated flamenco lesson in a while, I lay it all out: I've been managing a painful left shoulder and a sore middle finger, which has made playing complex repertoire really tough. I also talk openly about why I've been posting more song covers lately to build up watch time.
It's a raw, unedited, and unfiltered look at how I warm up, featuring exercises covering 3-octave E Major scales, chromatic octaves, arpeggios, tremolo, and picado with "El Vito."
I have separated the sections with time stamps, so you don't have to sit through stuff that sounds boring.
How do you handle your warm-ups when your hands or shoulders aren't feeling 100%? Let me know in the comments!
