How to Play Flamenco Riffs on Guitar
The Minor scale flamenco riff starts with a three five-note phrases that go up and down the first, second, and third strings. This flamenco guitar riff for beginners is played within the ‘A’ Minor box pattern. The fourth fret note played on the third string is not part of the standard ‘A’ Minor scale box pattern along the fifth fret, but is still part of the ‘A’ Minor scale, which can be played over the entire fretboard and will be covered in later minor scale guitar lessons.

How to slide notes on guitar
The last note of this minor scale flamenco riff features a slide ( / ). Fretting with the correct fingers results with the second finger being aligned along the fourth string/fifth fret to begin the slide up to the seventh fret.

How to Use Vibrato for Beginners on Guitar
Vibrato is notated with a wavy line. Vibrato is a combination of slightly shaking and sustaining a note. Being able to combine the slide with vibrato will take time while the fretting fingers gradually become stronger. Initially, focus on sustaining the last note played before adding vibrato.
