Cajon Flamenco for Beginners – Miguel Reyes

This method offers the fundamental tools for learning and applying flamenco compás via the cajón, an instrument that has become an invaluable partner in understanding both the compás and flamenco rhythms. A simple methodology for a better understanding of flamenco and its language is shown: rhythms, technique, codes and practical exercises with harmonic bases.

This course also contains “cajón” scores for Rumbas and Tangos with rhythmic music theory as well as detailed explanations of which flamenco songs you can play these rhythms with. It is not necessary to know how to read music.

The video exercises are performed for right-handed and left-handed players. In this way, the student can perceive the exercise as a mirror, and it will be easier to follow the movements. In addition, you will find each rhythmic pattern divided into levels based on the velocity of the exercise. The cajón exercises start slowly and gradually increase their speed until reaching the speeds of early flamenco pop songs.
