@@SweetPablo972 You are a racist. It was obvious there was no reason for insults but you did it anyway. What do you have against people of Hispanic/Spanish origin? Shame on you!
Amazing! I am 30 year old and I bought a classical Guitar to start leaning Flamenco Style music. Your classes are very Interesting. I will buy your book and courses. Thank you for your work.
Great advice. You make good points about the low action and even spaces between strings is utmost importance. I remember you on youtube more than 10 years ago. I learned from you as a beginer. Yes its true. We have all come a long way since then! Also listen for bad guitars with too much plastic varnish the sound will not come through and plastic sounds on the 3rd string are common in badly constructed guitars. Thanks sooo much. Jesse Cheers!
Thanks Edina !!! Good advice. I'm still trying various guitars before I decide on my first Classical or Flamenco Guitar. The Kremona CW-7, 7 String Classical is one I have to try before I buy. Many good choices out there thanks to the internet,
Just bought a 400 euro chinese flamenca ( martinez, with cutaway and fishman blend ). Unplugged it blew away spanish made flamenca 3 times the price , and miked , perfect for me with the blend in full piezzo.
Another thing to keep in mind: Will you always be playing the instrument while seated, or sometimes from a standing position? If the latter, it will need a strap holder!
That's true, and I myself would never play standing, because I find it uncomfortable and don't like the effect on my technique -- but many nylon-string performers, including Edina, Rodrigo and Gabriella, Jesse Cook and others who are not strictly classical or flamenco players, do play from a standing position. Their guitars need to be equipped with strap holders.
Yes I need a strap holder otherwise it would not work. Not even mentioning all the Rumba bands are standing up, Gypsy kings. And all the Mexican bands who play on nylon string guitar as well. So it is not that uncommon.
Clear explanations though nothing on the guitar sound. I've spent weeks listening to different flamenco guitars on web sites and CZcams and there is a variation, and not just depending on price. Shops have a limited range but are useful if a beginner (then the choice is not so important) or one is already sure on what to buy. I have made a choice (so far) but still unsure if two identical guitars would sound similar, or sound as demonstrated on the internet. With this doubt I will not order without trying it first which means await the end of the epidemic then travelling to Andalucía because of the availability and number of guitars (so to try out a number of identical ones).
Listen, I have the same problem until now... I've found this seller on eBay with links to youtube for each guitar and some under $700 with an amazing sound. Matter of fact, I almost bought one today that was only $769, heard it, was nice and then heard another costing just $999 with case and the sound blew me to Hell!! I thought I was hearing a Felipe Conde worth $11,000 Euros!! wow!! Sitka Spruce, Flamed Maple, Ebony board and even a 'Carbon' inner Rod to keep the neck straight for years to come, I mean, Real Quality and best of all, I get to 'hear it' before I buy it and I'm buying it tomorrow. Hear it here in this link: czcams.com/video/a8Rsv2MDMlQ/video.html Let me know what you think. Peace
I'm not a Flamenco player but I like the music so I may be buying a Flamenco guitar plus the action is a lot better with the design. You are so beautiful, thank you!
I want flamenca negra who isn't too much expensive but good with solid spruce top and rosewood back and sides, rosetta of that guitar must be beautiful, with low action strings of course

Excellent video. On the nots of acoustic-electric guitars, I find the piezoelectric pickups not very nice sounding. So, I am wondering whether it is better to get a guitar without mic, and buy an external microphone on a stand instead. What is your opinion?
Depends on what you want to do with the guitar. If you are a touring musician it is not a good solution because you play in many different PA systems and probably most times you would feedback. Obviously for playing and even recording I do not use the pickup just for live performance. But to be honest I recorded so much with my CAMPS electric-acoustic guitar (with external microphones) and it is just sounds lovely. But a guitar without pickup can sound better it all depends on the brand, type etc.
A good and clear explanation of the different needs for a nylon string guitar, as I play a lot live and improvise a lot I use an electric Takamine nylon string which suits my needs well. Drop my jazzguts channel and watch my new video: "Rumba Buena" ( inspired by Santana and Raimundo Amador) hugs, Vic.
Hi Edina ! I have a 2020 Camps FL-11C Flamenco Guitar and play mostly from your courses & udemy Flamenco courses. Have a question: What type strings do you use. Time for new strings and a set up on mine. Thanks !!
About “cutaway” classical guitars- are they always electro-acoustic ? how do they sound unplugged ? and do they have same width at the nut generally or narrower like metal- strung acoustics? I like the idea of better access to higher frets but dont really want to have to keep plugging in to an amplifier!!
Often acoustic electrics sound as loud as non-acoustic electrics: in fact most manufacturers have 2 versions of the same model, and they are identical except that one has a pick up and/or cutaway. About half of the cutaway guitars I see for less than $1,000 with nylon strings have full size necks and the other half are slightly slimmer. Not as narrow as a steel string but just a little less wide than a traditional classical. This is especially true of "thinline" models, where the whole body is thinner. These do have a little less volume than a regular acoustic although you certainly wouldn't need an amp to play at home.
Edina, I'd need yr advice on what to pick from these options: 1. Alhambra 7fc 2. Prudencia saez flamenco 22 3. Alhambra 4f (only solid top!) 4. Camps flamenco 500s I am not sure and decided if to order electronics built in guitar or buy an special pieso pick up mic? Would cutaway make big sense in flamenco to sacrifice 10-15% of guitar sound? Can u hlep me to make the right decision, here in Budapest, there are not so many f. Guitar shops to test these brands! Thanks a lot
I am sorry but not the right person to ask. It all depends on what you want! There is good and bad I guess in all guitars. The best is to find a guitar vendor who knows tgese brands and if you tell him what you want they can help you to make a choice. I know picking a guitar is daunting. So many choices!!!
can you please help me find the perfect one between these (alhambra 4p, Alhambra 3f, cordoba c7 paco or taylor A12 N) as my taste is more inclined towards flamenco but occasional classical playing too. i have chosen the above mentioned models as they are easily available in my country. please reply. thanks in advance.
Helo Edina , i heard lot about Flamenco guitars , and i would like to have one olso, i live in romania , visited all the music instrument shops in my citiy Brasov , no one of them knows the diference between a clasical guitar and a Flamenco guitar , for them all clasical guitars are olso flamenco guitars , ha ha ha
You make no mention of scale length, 650,640,628, nor of nut width which is different on a classical vs flamenco instrument. Did you need to consider those when you purchased yours? What about a radiused fretboard? Seems that those ar catching on right now?
I considered scale length when I bought mine, but not nut with. Mine is flat fingerboard. What I needed actually with mine, is that the strings are closer on the 12th fret, cutaway, also double preamp, one in the wood, one in the bridge, so I can amplify the wood as well as the strings. And that it is not feedbacking. Although I already had some issues with feedback so I bring for smaller stages or not so nice PAs I still use my Yamaha guitar, it never ever feedbacked and I played hundreds of shows since I bought it. And of course I wanted a bit narrow neck, the classical neck is too wide for me. I guess everybody has different needs when they buy a guitar. I rather tried to find these qualities on a guitar then go for a brand.
@@TheSpanishGuitarHub so this is why I'm slower on my classical compared to my friend's! My strings are like 8mm from the neck at the 12th fret while his is like 5mm...but I'm poor tho...like...i can only afford to pay like 150 dollars max
@@TheSpanishGuitarHub HI, sorry to bother again but i have one more question. Recently i bought Amalio Burguet FDV Spruce Flamenco which cost me around 1200$ and when i compared it to my Manuel Rodriguez C12 Classical Cedar Pau Ferro which cost me 380$. I got disapointed, i found that my C12 has louder and deeper sound than my FDV Spruce Flamenco. am i missing something here? isn't it Flamenco supposed to be louder and deeper? is it because of the top Cedar vs Spruce?
@@DONMAZ7 no, classical guitars typically have a deeper sound. CG's have a deeper body than flamenco guitar, which adds some depth to the sound. flamenco guitars typically sound brighter and louder. spruce is said to be brighter, cedar is said to be warmer and richer.
@@arthurias7693 I ended up selling my Flamenco guitar any way. Didn't like it i prefer Classical . But one of the expert told me, in term of which one is louder. It's hard to compare between both. espacally , if they are made of good brand. the only difference is in the tone production capabilities because of the wood used in the construction.
DONMAZ7 true, and a lot of the tone difference could be due to the way they’re played, i.e how flamenco guitarists typically play closer to the bridge and with fingernails which produces a very bright sound. I play classical but just bought a flamenco guitar, hopefully it sounds as good as it looks!
You sound more like you are from India, your Spanish accent is bad, however the real Spainish gypsy came to Spain from India, And started Flamenco.Your Video was a little boring, but your delivery to explain was very good and inspiring.

Another thing to keep in mind: Will you always be playing the instrument while seated, or sometimes from a standing position? If the latter, it will need a strap holder!
Yeah! I completely forgot this one. Specially it is quite important.
Mark Wheeler most flamenco and classical players are seated like 99.9%

@@TheSpanishGuitarHub very helpful answer. Besides Yamaha, is there another brand that you can recommend for playing on stage?
I actually only use the CAMPs now for stage. If it feedbacks just turn down the wood mic and live the bridge. But with a good PA it does not feedback

Thank you beautiful. I am considering a flamenco guitar.
Great!! 👏👏
Can you please tell me what is the best gap between the fret board and the string in 12th fret
2mm for flamenco 3mm for classical. There is no best gap, it depends on you what you prefer.
