This volume includes transcriptions, comments and analysis of the following pieces:
Therumba "Piel de toro". This guitar duet is a master class in playing por rumba , both for the lead and accompanying guitarists. The commentary offers extensive explanations on playing por rumba and various ways of executing the rhythmic pattern of this palo , which is very difficult to play with an authentic feel.
The alegrías "Tacita de plata". This piece, a work of true beauty, amazes the listener with its musicality, reminiscent of the style of the great maestro Sabicas.
The love song "Esta noche". This piece doesn't come from the flamenco environment, and therefore can be of special interest to musicians of other genres.
"Reflexión". This extremely short piece, which is just over a minute long, is a work of impressive emotional intensity reminiscent of the most beautiful passages of Turina or Debussy. It can be of interest both to classical and flamenco guitarists.
Each volume includes:
Transcription of each piece in notation and tab with complete both hands fingerings
History of the form
Flamenco modes, chords and tonalities
Compás, palmas and foot marking, which is essential for understanding of flamenco rhythms and, nevertheless, is never spoken about in flamenco manuals.
Analysis of the most difficult falsetas with explanations and advice as to technical execution.
List of generic rasgueados.
Glossary of flamenco terminology
The symbols used in flamenco writing.
No customer comments for the moment.
