A Flamenco Guitar Scale Exercise that Will Give You HULK HANDS!

A Flamenco Guitar Scale Exercise that Will Give You HULK HANDS!

Author: Ben Stubbs June 5, 2022 Duration: 13:16

I'm very excited to share with you this mega-ultra-awesome flamenco/Spanish guitar scale in E minor, which is so intense that it will give you HULK HANDS after you've mastered it!

What's this scale called? Well, I call it the "Escala de Gerardo" (Gerardo's Scale), because I always heard that it was written by Gerardo Núñez; it may or may not have been written by him, but I think it sounds like his style.

Anyhow, follow this lesson along closely. Watch it as many times as you need in order to get this scale in your flamenco guitar toolbox PRONTO!

Once you've gotten to the point where you can do this exercise at 120 beats per minute, you'll be a bonafide flamenco guitar beast!

…And you will have learned your way through the Aeolian scale like a pro!
