    hello. I've been a fan of flamenco guitar playing ever since. However, i don't use the usual finger-strumming and picking, instead I integrate hybrid picking. I don't like my nails to grow that long, (lol). I really love that syncopated strumming with palm muting and dampening. I do staccato
    to deliberately accentuate my chords and voicings. I usually end up with open voicings and natural
    harmonics in the 12th, 5th and 3rd frets. The best i discoverred was fusing diminished chords with flattened 5th and added ninth to really build up the tension and keep on flowing the tempo resolving to aeolian, then fade to its relative major or its parallel minor equivalent.

    My favorite style is playing arpeggiated harmonic minor sweep finishing with a very exotic Phrygian dominant touch. I've been using classical nylon or acoustic steel guitar made of Martin or by Yamaha if not, preferably. How about you?

    You sound exactly like the architect of the Matrix. Is that you Larry?

    OT:...huh? a diminished chord already has a flattened 5th. aeolian IS the relative minor. Parallel minor?

    OT: A relative minor is the 6th note of its major equivalent. Say in the key of A, Amajor and F#m. F#m is the relative minor. Aeolian is not a relative minor. It is the sixth mode of the major scale. It has a minor feel since it has a flattened 3rd as well as sixth. It has a natural minor sound too just like your minor scale. Parallel minor is a minor ( 1b35) of the same tonic with the Major (135), say A and Am. Am is the parallel minor. A Diminished chord (1b3b5b7) is different from the flattened 5th (1b3b5), say A dim over Amb5. Please don't be confuse.

    Flamenco is dance that suggest a lot of tension and a poise resolution, it would be worthless to keep on building up the tension without resolving it. A diminished chord let alone is a killer, so a flat fifth chord s a good pass chord that will initially resolve it back to natural 6th in that case, the root minor of the progression.

    hahahah at tackielarla. that was cute.

    at dessertfox. I don't do clips. You might think i got it somewhere else. I'd rather show it to my students in actual, reinforcing the right technique, feel and accent.
