Guia de la guitarra flamenca / Flamenco's Guitar Guide (English, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Japanese Edition) Paperback – January 17, 2011

For those who want to compose flamenco pieces is fundamental. Good for understand the differences between regular chords and altered ones, commonly used in flamenco.

just enough information for someone that has played guitar forever, thank you. Good for beginners as well. It is all about the practice!

Well organized, and good information on chords and which scales/modes are used for each palos and shows standard chord progressions for the palos.Does not have all voicing for all chords (I imagine that would be impossible) but there are many.

Great

I disagree with the other reviewers. This is not essential. In fact, it doesn't need to exist. If you are a mindless rote-learning musician who never notices patterns, then maybe you'll appreciate a book showing you common patterns. But then, if you aren't noticing patterns anyway, you probably aren't going to appreciate this.I might have considered two-stars if not for the awful binding and other things that make the book extra frustrating.So overall there is no explanation of how to use this, no explanation of what is going on in the music, just a chord / scale book with more flamenco focus than most. Very limited, hard to stay open, offers nothing new, bad format, teaches little.Basically worthless, given that there are lots of resources out there for the basic theory anyway. **This is the sort of thing that belongs on a wiki online where people can adapt and improve it and share it freely** - it does not belong in a way-overpriced little book like this. Nor is it done that well. It could have been so much better.For reference, here's the contents:This book has 38 pages of chord charts showing common chords, jazz/pop-style music theory, and just a few flamenco-specific items like the Maj+b9 but most of the common mixed chords of Flamenco are otherwise absent.Then there is a section of flamenco progressions mentioning style names. It simply goes through these repeatedly by keys in this order: E A F#(w/ open drones) B(w/ open drones) G# C# D#all of these as the flamenco-Phrygian root (i.e. like harmonic minor except the minor root is now the iv chord and what was V is now I)shows roman numerals for chords, then progressions with just lettersiv-III-II-II-II-Icircle of fifths w/ secondary dominantsa few othersThen the same thing for Major tonality (i.e. more classical) modes and minor modesthese just for keys of E A Da few short bits about alternate tuningsvery basic overview of flamenco rhythm (12 pattern w/ different starting points, 8 pattern)A few chord progressions with associated scales with the idea of jammingScales:standard modes, harmonic and melodic minor, diminished, pentatonic, blues

A good book for both beginners and pros. The only disadvantage is the small size of this bookIf it was published in A4 size it would have been great,I wish the publishers read this comment

Estoy muy contento con el producto, llena todo lo que necesito para poder seguir aprendiendo, explica y muestra cómo descubirir más el aprendizaje de este bello arte, que es el flamenco.

Recomiendo la guía a los amantes de la guitarra flamenca. Para los que quieran tener una guía útil y práctica.

Have not used this book yet, however flicking through the pages it seems like a good choice was made it buying.

Brilliant thanks

Soy un novato de la guitarra flamenca (comencé hace no más de 2 años y a practicar en serio 1 año), comencé con profesor pero por una u otra ahora llevo bastante tiempo aprendiendo solo, y encuentro esta guía útil.Existen muchos programas para sacar acordes pero aquí se recogen los más importantes (o la manera más utilizada) y esta complementado por las escalas flamencas, con sus respectivas progresiones de acordes más importantes.Se requiere un conocimiento de la guitarra básico y habría que complementarlo con alguna guía flamenca, pero a grandes rasgos le puede ser útil a todo aquel que conozca el flamenco y quiera estudiar y conocer las escalas y acordes para crear su propia música.
