La Guitarra Flamenca: A Video Series of 6 Lessons with Music Tablature and Notation Presented on Two DVDs, Book & 2 DVDs (Faber Edition) Paperback

"La Guitarra Flamenca" is a video series of six lessons with music tablature and notation divided into two DVDs, with a book as an extra aid. Juan Martín's teaching method is widely regarded as one of the best, and this series is no exception. It is meant for intermediate to advanced players and covers the palos (flamenco styles) of Solea, Bulerias, Alegrias, Seguiriyas, Fandangos, Tangos, Granainas, Guajiras, Tientos, Farruca, Rumba, Tarantas, Taranto, Sevillanas, Zambra Mora, and Rondena. The package may be a disappointment to some as the book is advertised as having accompanying DVDs, which are only accessible via the internet. However, the book is still a valuable asset, and the online material is worth the trouble. The material in the book is an excellent continuation of "El Arte Flamenco de la Guitarra" and is well suited for those with at least one year of classical guitar training or prior familiarity with flamenco guitar. Martin's teaching style is exceptional, and students can expect to learn essential techniques such as rasqueo, tremolo, ligado, arpeggios, and picado. Overall, "La Guitarra Flamenca" is an excellent collection of material for the student of flamenco, and Juan Martín is an outstanding teacher with a rare combination of mastery and teaching ability.
