My name is Francesco Bindella, and I am a flamenco guitarist. I lived in Spain for over ten years and studied at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Córdoba, where I had the opportunity to learn from some of the most influential figures in contemporary flamenco.
My approach to flamenco guitar blends deep respect for tradition with a broader musical vision, incorporating elements from jazz, Brazilian music, and classical repertoire.
Lessons are conducted via Zoom, allowing you to learn comfortably from home with a practical and personalized approach.
My goal is to help you develop technique, rhythm, and interpretation, regardless of your starting level, in a clear and accessible way.
✔ Tailored instruction for all levels, from beginners to advanced guitarists
✔ Two high-definition camera angles for a clear view of both hands
✔ Professional audio for an immersive sound experience
✔ Lesson recordings available for review and in-depth study
-Customized exercises based on each student’s level and needs
-Technical development: alzapúa, picado, three-finger picado, thumb technique, arpeggios, apoyando arpeggios, rasgueos, classical tremolo, flamenco tremolo, right and left-hand independence, legato exercises, hand extension techniques, and more. All exercises are structured progressively to build control and speed.
Many of these exercises are my own creations or were passed down directly from great flamenco masters in masterclasses, private lessons, or through their disciples (Manolo Sanlúcar, Gerardo Núñez, Andrés Batista, Niño de Pura, Juan Manuel Cañizares, José María Bandera, Manuel Cano, Rafael Moreno, José Antonio Rodríguez, Antonio Rey, etc.).
-Compás and palmas (with and without the instrument)
-Study of all flamenco "palos", progressively covering both rhythm and harmony
-Introduction to singing and dance accompaniment
-Flamenco guitar in the classical repertoire
-Jazz harmony applied to the guitar
-Classical guitar (Repertoire interpretation based on different styles and periods, conservatory exam preparation, and more)
Lessons are conducted from my recording studio, using professional audio and video equipment to ensure that every nuance of my playing and explanations is captured in detail.
With this setup, you'll enjoy a clear, immersive, and high-quality learning experience—just as if you were in an in-person class.
Lessons are open to everyone, from beginners to advanced guitarists looking to deepen their understanding of flamenco.
