Formative Works for The Flamenco/Classical Guitar Tradition, Volumes 1 and 2 [Print Replica] Kindle Edition

This book expands the repertoire and bridges the gap between Volumes 1 and 2 of the introductory-intermediate guitar method, The Flamenco/Classical Guitar Tradition.Originally conceived by pioneering Mel Bay flamenco guitar author Juan Serrano and his former student, Corey Whitehead—the series is perhaps the first method to introduce the concept that flamenco and classic guitar techniques share common ground that should be familiar to all nylon-string guitarists.For decades, there has been a perceived division between the two styles as classical players usually have no idea of how rasgueado patterns, alzapua and tremolo techniques or a Bulerias compas are performed. These techniques, common to flamenco players for over a century, have heretofore been complete mysteries to classical guitarists.It’s past time to end that division. Now, with the added expertise and virtuosity of Ricardo Marlow, The Flamenco/Classical Guitar Tradition finally brings the two schools of guitar together in one authoritative comprehensive approach. Written in standard notation to facilitate sight reading, this book includes progressive foundational classic guitar studies, short flamenco palos (regional song and dance forms) and more than 60 online audio tracks to help bring your flamenco/classical playing to a professional level.
