#Flamenco #Guitar #Measurements
In this video, I will be explaining all the "Basic" measurements you NEED to know BEFORE buying/choosing your guitar, depending on your hand size.
I will be talking in detail and exact measurements for a (Small, Standard, and Big-sized Guitars).
Video Contents: 👇
1- Intro Falseta "TÍO SABAS de PACO DE LUCÍA": (00:00 - 1:32)
2- Video Introduction "Playability and Sound" (1:32 - 3:08)
3- Playability General Points "Left & Right Hand": (3:08 - 4:17)
4- Scale Length Explanation: (4:17 - 5:49)
5- Action Explanation: (5:49 - 6:32)
6- Neck Shape Explanation: (6:32 - 7:08)
7- Strings Separation Explanation: (7:08 - 8:50)
8- Standard Guitar Scale Length Measurements: (8:50 - 9:23)
9- Action on the Left Hand Measurements (Measuring the distance from the 12th "Fret" {and not the ebony}, to the 6th String): (9:23 - 11:14)
* It's ok to have a little bit of Buzzing sound! (As you can hear in the intro of this video), without it, it will sound classical!
10- Standard Separation of the strings Measurements: (11:14 - 12:26)
* Forgot to mention in the video, the drilled holes HAS to be EQUALLY SPACED!
11- Guitar with Smaller Measurements: (12:26 - 14:24)
12- Guitar with Bigger Measurements: (14:24 - 15:09)
13- Left Hand Size: (15:09 - 16:18)
14- Right Hand Size: (16:18 - 17:11)
15- Outro: (17:11 - 18:37)
As we know, each individual has a different hand size, and way of moving the fingers when playing, and sometimes it could be very frustrating to know which guitar to choose that can fit our criteria.
I hope that after you watch this video, you can have a better understanding on what to go for the next time you want to buy your next guitar.
Don't be shy to ASK the Luthier about these extremely important points, as they can affect your playing by A LOT, and may lead to injury (Embarrassment on stage 😳), or even selling the guitar afterwards which is not good for both parties!
Please enjoy the video!
Warmest regards,
