ROCKIN' THE BLUES: From the U.S. to the U.K.

The history of the blues is laced with irony. The national tragedy of the transatlantic slave trade begun in the 1600s sought to deprive Africans of their culture, but inadvertently exposed them to European musical traditions and instruments that led to the birth of the blues in the American south circa 1890. Some in the Anglo population had their ears open early on as evidenced by a white man, Arthur Seals, beating W.e. Handy to the distinction by just two months with the first published blues, "Baby Seals' Blues" in 1912. After "Crazy Blues" by Mamie Smith was recorded in 1920 there began a lengthy period of the blues as an integral component in the African-American community until it was superseded by soul music in the early 1960s. Throughout this entire period of time most, though certainly not rdl, white listeners in America applied basically benign neglect to the blues. By the early 1950s, however, white country musicians in the South began incorporating blues licks and phrasing into a new, embryonic form of music as yet unnamed. Often they learned directly from their black neighbors or family employees out in the sticks. Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Scotty Moore were some of the earliest and most prominent, with Moore applying his seamless blending of country and blues licks to the music of an ambitious young man in the summer of 1954. The greasy, astoundingly charismatic singer Elvis Presley was joined by Moore and upright, "doghouse" bassist Bill Black at Sun Studios in Memphis, and their revolutionary hybrid of hillbilly boogie and blue would eventually come to be called rockabilly a few years later. In fact, it was the official, if not absolute, beginning of rock 'n' roll as a style of music and as an unprecedented youth movement. Other white cats like Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dale Hawkins (whose 1957 recording of "Suzie-Q" featured James Burton's seminal blues-rock licks), Roy Orbison, and even Johnny Cash would build on Presley's success. Meanwhile, Chuck Berry was concurrently combining blues with country and western music and swing jazz (by way of jive-talking shuffler Louis Jordan) to create a distinct style that rocked and swung, and his influence on rock is inestimable. In addition, the chugging boogie blues of Jimmy Reed would also exert a considerable effect on both future American and English blues-rockers. It took some time for the I-IV-V progressions of 1950s rock 'n' roll to give way to a new form of rocked up blues in the early 1960s. Roy Buchanan in the Washington, D.e. area, Robbie Robertson in Toronto, and Lonnie Mack in Cincinnati, to name three of the most prominent, began bringing an edge and energy to their version of the blues rarely found outside of black blues guitarists like Lafayette "Thing" Thomas and Auburn "Pat" Hare. Keenly aware of the potential contained in the right combination of axe and amp, they were the sonic pioneers who would fry their vacuum tubes in order to achieve the thick, overloaded sound that would thrill fans and fellow musicians alike. The blues-based San Francisco bands like Big Brother and the Holding Company, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Steve Miller Band, and the early Santana band that arose in the mid-1960s (and contributed so much to the music of the counterculture movement in the latter part of the decade) also understood that the "medium (loud, distorted guitars) was the message." Technology played a significant part because as the amps got bigger, so did the sound, and savvy guitarists got hip to the fact that they could riff and solo with the expressiveness and power that had previously been the domain of honking tenor saxophonists. Perhaps no one delivered this powerful, earth-shaking message better than Jimi Hendrix, at once a true hluesman and blues-rock icon. The Allman Brothers Band with dual axemen Duane Allman and Dicky Betts were arguably the most important American group to bring all the elements together in an accessible style also steeped in authentic blues roots. Still at it after thirty-five years, they spawned a new genre known as Southern Rock that was in fact, blues-rock with a Dixie accent. Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Marshall Tucker Band, 38 special

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the second volume of Solos Flamencos!

I hope you will find it meets your needs for more technically demanding music which can help you to feel that you are really beginning to master the challenges of the solo flamenco guitar. The tremendous success of the first volume has greatly encouraged us in the preparation of this second volume. Messages of appreciation from players in all parts of the world have brought us great pleasure and satisfaction. The main content of this volume follows the format of the first volume, with seven solos demonstrated at each of the grades 6 - 8. In addition there are four recorded extras on the CD and DVD; these consist of two brief sequences of Solea, a Garrotin (an easier solo which could help you to get started) and more falsetas for Bulerias. Finally, as a further extra in the book, there are two of my solo compositions presented only in music notation and cifra tablature, which are not demonstrated on the CD or the DVD. There is a separate introduction and explanation for these. It is not always easy to rate music at the higher grades in terms of its relative difficulty but I hope you will recognise a progressive trend as you advance from Grade 6 to Grade 8. Many factors are relevant to the grading (with which not all players will be able to agree), but I have taken into account not only considerations of technical difficulty and speed, but also those more fundamental considerations of musical expressiveness, summed up in the two fundamental concepts of compas and aire. The player should aim for an interpretation in which the difficulty of the solo is not apparent to the listener - what matters, of course, is whether it is musically satisfying and whether it can move the emotions. Technical skill is always only a means to an end. Certainly there are occasions when the bravura of a virtuoso technique is absolutely right, especially in the lighter styles (Rumbas, Bulerias, etc.). Even so, the good flamenco guitarist always tries to play with expressive aire and, if it's possible, with that magical spirit of duende, rather than exciting the audience just because he or she can. What I am aiming for here is music for the player whose technical skills are developing to the point where the basic elements are assured. For this reason I have not included the lists of technical requirements at each grade level which are a feature of Volume 1. There are new techniques introduced in the solos but most of the basic elements are illustrated in that volume. At this level, the choice of music continues further the approach adopted previously. I have included here my own compositions and also fundamental elements and solos that pay homage to the great masters of the recent past, particularly Sabicas and Nino Ricardo. Following Ramon Montoya, these two giants of the art were largely responsible for the establishment of the flamenco guitar as a solo instrument, and the value of their genius cannot be overstated. Both of them were exceptionally creative in their melodic and rhythmic originality. I also acknowledge, particularly in a solo Bulerias that evokes the impetuous aire of his first recordings, the incomparable contribution of Paco de Lucia. Today the flamenco guitar embraces other musical traditions such as jazz and pop music, and you will want to discover and pursue your own creative pathway and musical tastes. The aim of these two volumes is to help you establish a solid foundation in the art of flamenco solo playing which acknowledges the history of its evolution and the possibilities for further development and exploration that will take it still further. For me, the flamenco guitar is both a melodic and a percussive instrument, capable of intense beauty of sound and also of powerfully exciting rhythmic drive. Its music arises within a broader and still evolving tradition of flamenco artistry, a unique cultural heritage comprising the cante, the baile and the guitar. A basis of rasgueo rhythm in palos a compas is the uniquely flamenco heart-beat of the music which gives its pulsation and structure. If this is ignored or relegated to insignificance, and the music lacks strong melodic themes intensified by the amazingly expressive sounds of the guitar, I think flamenco guitar-playing can be in danger of deteriorating into aimless and unmusical doodlings or empty technical dazzle. But this is my philosophy and you will want to develop your own! I hope these volumes can help and direct you towards achieving your goals. iViva el arte - y vamos a tocar!
