The Legato
Playing a group of connected notes is a Legato. The level of the legato is indicated by the composer interactions or by our musical test. The Llegato techniques are done only by left hand stroke actions! In technical meters, the Legato can be achieved by four ways:

Go to practice Legato...

1. Passive Legato: Holding the same note, as it connected by a slur.

2. Up-stroke Legato: Play only the first note (B) than hit the string with the right hand finger! This legato is always from a lower tune to higher one. Go to practice...

3. Down-stroke Legato: Play only the first note, then pull down and out your finger so it will produce a new - and lower tune. Go to practice...

The Vibrato
A slight fluctuation of tone's pitch, which producing by a motion of the left hand so that the pressing finger is swinging to the sides so that affect the sound Vibrato...

The Apoyando stroke
The Apoyando stroke is a right hand stroke technique: The right fingers press the string (by sliding on it) until departure... than The finger rests upon the adjacent string. Now, another finger will follow.  I am recommending you NOT to use this technique in the first year study! The reason is because you will have to use some amount of force in your right hand's fingers, and that can cause damage in the early stages of the learning.


The Flamenco
A southern Spanish (Andalusian) folk type of music, mainly by songs, guitar and dances. The flamenco is a mixed of the Arabian music influences and the strong emotional Spaniard, Sephardim and Gypsies temperament. The Flamenco shaped at the early 19th century and called also as the "deep song" (in Spanish: "Cante Hondo"). Usually, its context has highly emotional feelings and the words of the songs are tragic.  Solea (dance) - Guitar Flamenco by - Migael Angel
