Things to remember when you play scales (Spanish Guitar)
1. Push the string down before releasing 2. Always strike with the same part of the finger 3. Make sure your movements are as economical as possible www.grishaguitar.com http www.amazon.com www.amazon.com
Wow that’s fast!!! Machine gun hands.
@mininocurro Is it really necessary to rest your thumb on the low E string? Would you do it if you had to play an 11 – string guitar? I prefer tirando over apoyando while playing scales…is that wrong?
Thanx in advance.
wtf man …. this is toooo fast.. never seen stuff like this..
Great video, It makes so much of a difference hearing tips and instructions from someone’s voice, as opposed to reading it in a book. Thanks, and I really appreciate as many tips as you’d like to give. I’ve been teaching myself for years and I feel like I’m finally pushing through the wall of instruction I ran into. bravo.
It is important tha one frist tries out the proper technique. If this does not work, one can use such strange techniques like Grisha. The other way around is false, because more people can play way better with Pacos technique than with other. This is the misconception Grisha never will tell u.
what strings do you use most often?
you are amazing! you use a rest stroke of course right? what about when going up down a scale? how do you do the rest stroke going down? thank you!
Hey are you using nylon strings????
I need to know cause i can’t get this sound on nylon or brass strings .. I am very confused
@LogicalPhallusy that is why you probably cant play well..
Thank you so much for the instruction you have shared. Your time is appreciated.
with that finger speed, you could use a pistol like a machinegun O.o
Hi Grisha. Thanks fo this great video.
One question, though: you rightly say that we should strive for minimal movement of the right hand. I’m mostly a bass player and I realize that my plucking hand technique could be greatly improved. I currently play faster with either my index or middle finger than with both…I realize that my my middle finger “hooks” way too close towards my palm but I can’t figure out how to prevent that. Any suggestions, exercices to correct that? Thanks in advance!
when I practice slow I pick the string and the rest the finger on the next string, but as I speed up I can’t do it anymore…. not enough time to get the finger back up to pluck the string again. And also it’s much easier to go down scales than up.
perfect.
he has good recommendations !!!!!
How much time do you recommend practicing dedicated techniques like this per day to get good, like you.. well as half as good as you..? After a while the fingers get tired and then makes playing sound terrible ( as form is lost). I want to get good but I dont know how or what to practice.
I can see that your fingers are about the same length. my question is..
does the fingers length matters when you try to play fast? because my m finger is like 1cm longer than my i finger
Grisha, when will you ever record the Concierto de Aranjuez with a professional orchestra? I saw your performance with the kids, and your playing of it is fantastic! Better than anyone, including Paco’s version, else. Please record this someday.
@lubik2323 You hit the string with your flesh but then slide off so that your nail grazes the string and produces a clear, loud plectrum tone.
@Dephyrgia Try playing a chromatic scale (one fret at a time) with one finger to each fret moving up and down the strings. That should individualize your fingers so they don’t cross over one another. I notice with novice guitar players or those that just don’t practice alot or hard enough. They lack hand strength which is very important for getting that precision.
@hendrixkixas Push into the string straight towards your body then release by of course plucking but you are also simultaneously going to slide your finger off. If that makes any sense…
@kaligula4life Yep. Having long nails will just produce a clearer, more plectrum kind of sound.

Can such speed and accuracy be achieved without finger nails?
What do you mean to push the string Down before releasing it ?
