This workshop, with flamenco guitarist extraordinaire Cristian Puig, is designed for guitarists that have little or no knowledge about flamenco but do have a basic level of playing guitar (chords, strumming, basic music theory). Students should bring their own guitar (nylon-stringed, classical, or flamenco).

With Cristian’s expert instruction, students will examine the particular ways that flamenco works rhythmically and harmonically, within the context of flamenco guitar. Students will learn rhythmic patterns of different flamenco palos (styles), how to play palmas (handclaps), and translate these ideas to the guitar.
