Gloria al Niño Ricardo is possibly the most sophisticated and innovative solea Paco de Lucia ever composed. To learn how to play Gloria al Niño Ricardo, you need to watch each tutorial carefully and duplicate exactly what is presented on the video. Such accuracy is of utmost importance as occasionally Paco stretches the compas to more than 12 beats.

My recommendation is that you first learn the solea compas inside out before attempting Gloria al Niño Ricardo. You can either study his earlier solea Gitanos Trianeros (link) or get my Solea Mastery Package,

To learn how to play solea, read below first:

Solea is based on the 12-beat compas, which is the most commonly used meter in flamenco music.

Within one bar (measure) there are 12 beats (quarter notes) and each musical sentence starts and ends within these 12 beats. The "cierre" starts on the 10th beat and marks the end of the sentence and takes up 2 beats .

Then there are the accents that mold the flow of music into something that relates to a larger context of musical performance i.e. singing, dancing.

The accents are on the beats 3, 6, 8, 10, and 12.

Watch the videos in the youtube video lesson paying attention to the compas. You will see that the accents are embedded in the music either as golpes or notes/chords that stick out.

The Gloria al Niño Ricardo (solea) video tutorials focus on various flamenco guitar techniques such as pulgar, arpeggio, picado, free stroke, alzapua, and rasgueado.
