Play Solo Flamenco Guitar with Juan Martin (Book, CD, and DVD). (Volume 1). By Juan Martin and Patrick Campbell. For guitar. Methods. Flamenco and Instructional. Beginning-Intermediate. Instructional book (spiral bound), instructional video: DVD and examples CD. Introductory text, standard guitar notation, guitar tablature and black & white photos. 160 pages. Published by Mel Bay Publications, Inc (MB.99825SET).

ISBN 9780786664580. With introductory text, standard guitar notation, guitar tablature and black & white photos. Flamenco and Instructional. 12x10 inches.

Designed as a comprehensive multimedia teaching set, this book, CD, and DVD present 42 solos, progressively graded in 6 levels from absolute beginners to more advanced, to suit players of all levels. It contains examples of eighteen different palos (rhythmic forms) of flamenco, with a wealth of melodic falsetas and rhythms. The music for all these is accurately written in notation and flamenco tab (cifra) in the book, and is also recorded on the companion CD. The DVD video contains over 57 minutes of solo music, and also includes introduction by Juan Martin and brief scenes of Andalucia today, which help to place this profoundly exciting and deeply felt music in the landscape of its origins. Juan Martin has succeeded here in showing how even music which is simple and very easy to start with can express the essential sound and emotion of flamenco, to build step by step the skills necessary for the performance of concert solos. Written in English and Spanish.

JM vol 1

Very good material from intermediate to more advanced, esp. for those w/some experience. Seems to be based on traditional flamenco & J. Martin is a very earthy player. The DVD is also good w/inspirational scenes & great performances.

A collection of listenable, graded solos

A very useful work for guitarists with some skills and knowledge of flamenco going in. Graded selections allow one to get a feel for compas without dealing with too much technique at the same time, yet the pieces are tuneful, and the CD makes good listening. Ideally, this would be...

Finally!

After buying several flamenco DVD's, I finallly got the right one. I don't play the guitar at all, but this video finally makes me a beginner. Thank you Juan Martin.
