Summary of This Book
Designed for classical guitarists curious about flamenco language as well as flamencos wishing to structure their technique, this collection offers twenty studies that go beyond mere mechanics. Each piece remains relatively short but sufficiently characterized to become a true musical study piece, and some can even be linked in a medley to form an effective suite for practice or performance.
The content emphasizes typical flamenco techniques, carefully integrated into a study framework: picado, double arpeggio, arpeggio-legato, horquilla, as well as a flamenco tremolo in quintuplets. In parallel, classical guitar fundamentals are explored in depth (octaves, intervals, arpeggios), with a modern touch through a piece tuned in drop-D. The whole aims for stimulating progression, where virtuosity is built with genuine musical intention and an embraced "flamenco flavor."
To enrich learning, fourteen out of twenty studies are accompanied by chords, useful for harmonic analysis, improvisation, or duo work with a teacher or second guitarist. A comprehensive glossary facilitates the appropriation of flamenco vocabulary, while the systematic presence of standard notation and tablature makes the collection accessible to various types of readers. Additionally, a recommended listening list guides the ear toward genre references, and quotes from renowned guitarists nourish inspiration, all complemented by access to online audio.
