Flamenco Explained Reviews

Flamenco Explained is a fabulous resource for anyone who wants to learn about how to play flamenco guitar, but it’s much more than that. Kai Narezo has gone to great lengths to provide depth and insight into the structures of flamenco compás, the evolution of various flamenco forms, and the culture of flamenco in general. In addition, Kai is extremely warm and responsive to questions and will try to address technical issues very specifically (sometimes with a video response, when possible).

Tara Stewart has built an intuitive, comprehensive, and professional platform that provides a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Flamenco Explained is the closest that web learning can come to in person lessons and is very moderately priced. A joy.

I do wish you’d tackle more about the interaction between the musicians and the dancer by palo. As a dancer, the instruction is great, and I’m definitely learning, but It can only take me so far. I’m searching everywhere for more about the back-and-forth communication that’s essential to the language of Flamenco. Need your help, Kai!

This is an incredible collection of lessons that cover all the basics (and beyond) of flamenco. If you can’t move to Andalusia, this is definitely the next best option!! Cheers Kai, thank you!!!

I’ve been poking around Flamenco tutorials for a few years now and this is one of the most comprehensive and high quality resources out there currently.

No complaints. FlamencoExplained is an incredible resource, the instruction is excellent and content is well presented and organized. Really an amazing experience to use and learn from.

Well done! Just wished they had this technology and outstanding presentation format back in the 60’s when I got started, I would be light years ahead in my playing as opposed to being stuck in the 60’s.

FlamencoExplained provides a perfect way for me to sit and learn and practice. I set it up on my desk and watch the videos. The content is excellent and I’m learning so much about how flamenco works as music in addition to learning a lot of new techniques.

Kai and the FE team’s videos and lessons are phenomenally clear, helpful, fun and interesting. This companion app to the FE video suite is easy to use, well designed, and a huge value add, especially to supplement FE’s Survival Guide book. I’d highly recommend to anyone else out there trying to teach themselves flamenco.

I’ve played guitar in the past and decided to get back into guitar. FlamencoExplained is phenomenal, lays out everything in a very clear and concise way. It’s also well designed, easy to find things im looking for, and seamless to use

I’ve studied with legends — Paco Serrano, Gerardo Nunez, etc. — and I can confidently say that my friend Kai Narezo has the most organized approach to this topic of anyone. He is very bright, very thoughtful and extremely gifted, both in playing and, crucially, in teaching. A lot of players just don’t have that. Kai does. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I have only been playing Flamenco for a about a year at the time of this review... I absolutely love it! I am fortunate enough to have a great teacher locally to help guide me twice a month. I am also happy to have found Kai and his “Flamenco Explained" to fill in an supplement areas of technique / theory / history / etc... that an hour long lesson is limited by. With all of the videos and information here I am free at my will to explore an grow further with easy access especially if you have the iPhone app. Definitely happy to have Kai’s wealth of knowledge an passion for this beautiful music at my finger tips.

One of my favorite music learning apps out there. I really like the style , direct to the point. I’ve paid for other ones where teacher keeps talking too much , giving little info. This is clear, straight to the point, and affordable in my opinion.

If you want to learn Flamenco and are not sure where to start this is definitely FlamencoExplained to use. From beginner to advanced there is something here for everyone. What I truly love about Flamenco Explained is that the lessons are well thought out, thorough, and Kai Narezo is a great teacher. There are some great free lessons here but the subscription is absolutely worth it! Love FlamencoExplained!

Fantastic lessons but FlamencoExplained is a bit tough to navigate. I want to pick it and click a button to go to a course and see the entire list of videos on one screen and be able to easily go one video back one forward etc. Currently I find that it takes too many clicks and swipes to get to where I want.

The content is expansive and what feels like comprehensive. If there’s something I want to learn or if I’m following along on the book there’s a corresponding video that demonstrates it. The only thing I wish this has that it currently doesn’t would be the corresponding music sheet for the falsetas but audio / visual learning as a form of picking up flamenco is also transitional so it’s not a knock.

Flamenco explained is a gold mine of Flamenco guitar goodness!

The content is very high quality, comprehensive, and very user friendly.

For $20 a month, probably at or less than the cost of a single half hour guitar lesson, you get access to all the content, including a large library of tablature.

There are things geared for beginners, and useful resources for advanced guitarists looking for help with specific techniques.

If you are interested in Flamenco guitar at all, you should check this out. They often have a free trial for new users.

There have been times that I have had to pause my guitar journey for a while, but I keep coming back to Flamenco explained.

There is nothing like the art of Flamenco, and I have found nothing like Flamenco explained to help me learn about it.

Well, I’ve had some time to spare as of late and have always loved flamenco. Guess what?! In about a month I’ve learned more about flamenco, and how to play it, than I ever thought possible. And I’m at the tip of the paella here. This material, method, and app have made this fun and very understandable. Super understandable. I’m geeked up for what lies ahead and honestly never thought I would have this much fun. FlamencoExplained is awesome. This teacher is better. And for what it’s worth- I’ve always considered myself musically challenged. Sign up, pour a tinto de verano, and have some fun with us! Olé!

I returned from Jerez wanting to learn this, but couldn’t find anyone around me that knows. This is a great source of instruction and basic techniques to get you into the door, I love the clear instructions of his videos and the fact you can repeatedly watch it until it makes sense. Also private lessons are available with details and personalized instructions. I am really grateful for being introduced to this through the grapevine of His other student in Jerez.

I’ve played Classical for a few years and Flamenco 6 months. I’ve watched a lot of fire players poorly explain their techniques. Kai is different. Not only is he a terrific player, he takes the time to properly explain the techniques/counts/feel you need to play flamenco. If you’re lucky enough to find a decent flamenco instructor and take personal lessons, do that and use this as a supplement. But if you can’t find someone, these lessons are the next best thing

A great online course that offers an easy to understand explanation of Flamenco guitar techniques. Well worth the cost to get started learning Flamenco from beginner to advanced.
