1 – Gypsy Groove Rhythm

Welcome to Day 1 of the Spanish Guitar Challenge! Today, we’re laying the groundwork for that fiery Spanish sound—and it all begins with rhythm, not speed. If you can tap your foot, you’re ready.

 Step-by-step through the core rumba flamenca strum. You’ll learn to:

• Relax your wrist for a smooth, flowing motion

• Use your nails and thumb for that authentic flair

• Add a light slap to bring the rhythm alive

It’s all about timing and feel—not perfection. Grab your guitar and let’s dive in!
