Adam del Monte – Tarantas Lesson

Adam del Monte is offering a new flamenco guitar video lesson series for Tarantas on New Learning Vision. We here at Falseta.com decided to dive right into this lesson and provide some insight into its content in hopes of helping you find the very best in online flamenco guitar lessons.

So for those of you who have not yet discovered New Learning Vision I would strongly suggest you do so. At New Learning Vision, Adam del Monte provides hours of online video flamenco guitar instruction along with tablature and sheet music. Without having to pay monthly membership fees you are free to pick and choose what you want to learn purchasing the lessons you want as you go.

The Tarantas lesson package opens with Adam del Monte playing a great piece on the current lesson and thorough explanation of what is to be expected along with some background on Tarantas. Adam has a very unique style about his teaching especially when it comes to explaining technique and reasons as to why things are done a certain way. It is this specific quality that Adam del Monte delivers on the video lessons at New Learning Vision that make the lessons enjoyable and conducive to learning what is really a difficult set of techniques and falsetas.

Adam wastes no time and gets right into scales and goes over the important points in order to uncover the little nuances that make the dark serious tones of Tarantas stand out. Although this lesson is for Intermediate level players with some practice and further study overall the scales described here are nothing out of this world and could be learned and mastered by most if not all students.

With over two hours of instructional footage broken up into smaller video segments averaging ten minutes in length, Adam provides detailed step by step instruction on how to play Tarantas. You could easily find yourself transforming what is learned on this video lesson package into a complete performance composition. We found the tablature and sheet music that supplement the video instruction to be very helpful in the learning of the falsetas and scales.

Adam del Monte also teaches his super secret thumb trick in this lesson package that you don’t want to miss. If you ever wondered how to do a super fast run using your thumb Adam del Monte will teach you his personal secret which we found to be indispensable.

Once again Adam del Monte has produced a high quality lesson that teaches the intensity and passion that has to be delivered in a Tarantas performance. If you are looking for a solid Tarantas instructional package that you can learn online and from the comfort of your own home then try out the Tarantas lessons offered at New Learning Vision.
