So, another video. This time about the Gypsy Bolero rhythm. Here, I deal with the pure mechanics of the rhythm playing. The idea is to have method with basic steps that you can repeat and use to self-check how you are doing. This video builds on the previous videos about "La Pompe" so check those out if this moves a bit too quickly!!!!

First in a short series on the basic mechanics of gypsy picking. This episode simply covers the the use of the downward resting stroke, the preferred angle of the wrist on the picking hand and also I issue a little left hand finger independence exercise to even things up!! I hope you all get out of it what's intended and hopefully more!!!
