A Conversation with Alfredo Lagos

I’m clear about it: you can’t learn solely from YouTube tutorials. Do you feel the same way? Do you think it’s possible to learn Flamenco Guitar with such disparate and disconnected individual lessons?

Learning to play flamenco guitar involves more than just technique, isolated falsetas, or rhythm notions. It requires meaning and a global vision. It demands a learning direction aimed at understanding its essence.

And no tutorial can teach you that in 10 minutes.

What is the best way to learn Flamenco Guitar?

👋 The most advisable thing, furthermore, is to learn from the Masters who perform concerts all over the world and accompany the great figures of flamenco. From them, you can learn the mastery that makes them so special 🙂

This is why I embarked on this beautiful project, “Música, Maestros” (Music, Masters): to try and make the teachings of the Masters accessible to everyone.

Therefore, if you are looking for everything you know about flamenco guitar to make sense and gain unity, I recommend Alfredo Lagos’s Flamenco Guitar Course >>

Who is Alfredo Lagos?


He has taught me a lot, honestly.

✅ His course is an absolute demonstration of ‘less is more’ due to its technical prec
ision, its simplicity in making difficult things easy, and how it teaches you to play with essence, without getting lost in an excess of information. His teachings are very valuable, and his course is inspiring and practical. He teaches you to understand and interpret the forms that most characterize and define Jerez flamenco guitar.

Jerez Flamenco Guitar


His special way of playing Soleá por Bulería, Seguiriyas, or Tientos, as well as the importance of his rasgueo, are totally distinguishable from other schools, these being some of the reasons that make this course essential.

And all of this, under the personal vision of one of the most important guitarists not only from Jerez, but in flamenco guitar, who has received prestigious awards such as the Giraldillo from the Bienal de Sevilla, the Taranto de Almería, and the Copa Jerez Award in Guitar.
Best regards,
