    Hey… Jesse Cook… one of my favorites.

    Not quite traditional Flamenco but what some call Rumba Flamenco (referring to the specific rhythm used) or Nouveau Flamenco (coined by the guitarist Ottmar Liebert).

    No need to be good at fingerstyle first… but you will need bar chords.

    Try out the course included here on real Guitar Success New Flamenco Guitar Mini Course: https://realguitarsuccess.com/courses/new-flamenco-guitar-mini-course/

    The Rumba rhythm is a main component of this style. You’ll get an idea of what you’re up for and can decide if you’re ready.

    Tomas

    I have an entire separate course on this style, but I’d try the shorter sampling course that’s included first.

    Hi Dave,

    For many the Practice Plan for the month provides a daily progressive practice/lesson all in one.

    In case you’re not familiar with this here’s a video explaining more: https://realguitarsuccess.com/lessons/watch-monthly-practice-plan/

    Let me know if you’d like some more ideas. There’s also course modules for different aspects of guitar playing.

    Hi JoAnna,

    If you could let me know where that is I can get it fix quickly. A web address (also known as URL) is the fastest. I’ve shown how to find that in the video on the post comment you did.

    Hi Mike,

    Welcome. Glad you made it here.

    The forum is a great place to get feedback both from myself and other students. There are guitar players of many different levels here and you’ll find that sometimes a student that has been where you are recently can give you some great tips.

    To answer your question… It would depend on how much guitar you played. It sounds like you might be a brand-new beginner (a.k.a. newbie).

    If that’s the case I would recommend The Roadmap. It’s a step-by-step program design for newbies, or for those who want a review of the basics. The idea is to check off each of the steps as you complete them… Or as I often say achieve about 80% competency (use your own judgment). You can always access it from the HOME dashboard, but here’s a direct link: https://realguitarsuccess.com/courses/starting-new/

    Once you’ve completed the roadmap I’d recommend spending some time every day on The Monthly Practice Plan. It’s a fun way to practice and you can be confident you’ll be getting work on all the essential aspects of playing guitar over time.

    At the same time feel free to start any of the courses that seem like it would be helpful. As you probably noticed there are many. For organized to give you an idea of which level they are created for.

    10 to 20 minutes a day should work… The key is to be consistent and persistent.

    Please ask questions anytime here in the forum or in the comments sections of the lessons.

    I look forward to supporting you and encouraging you on your guitar learning journey.

    Hi Carlos,

    Welcome! I’m happy to see you here.

    Practice is a good thing.

    You may want to spend at least 10 minutes a day on the Practice Plan. That way you’ll be sure to make improvement a little each day.

    I’ve created the Practice Plan to cover all the essential areas of playing guitar over time.

    Please feel free to ask questions or let me know how I can help.

    Hi Jenny,

    Welcome aboard. I’m glad you made it here.

    I want to second Chris’ tip… start small and be consistent.

    It’s not that you’ll make super fast progress, but it will set up a chance to see some progress and may inspire more practice over time.

    I would start with the Roadmap and go step by step.

    Take care,
