DIATONIC HARMONICA
Each harmonica is designed in a certain "key". When using the harmonica in that
stated "key" it is called standard or straight harmonica, such as the C harmonica is
the key of C, the G harmonica is the key of G and the F harmonica is the key of F,
etc. This also means that the center or "home" tone is the fourth hole of the diatonic
harmonica. Each different key requires a different harmonica. You may be able to
use any key harmonica in this book if you observe the numbers and arrows written
below each musical line. Normally you would use the C harmonica for this book.
In playing straight harmonica, the method for blocking out unwanted tones is called
"tongue blocking". Your tongue should cover and block off two or three undesired
holes on the left of the harmonica mouth piece:
5 6 7 8 9 10
Tongue blocks 2 or 3 holes.
The hole on the right (4) sounds.
To be able to "chord" with melody, just release the tongue covered holes and a chord
(3 or more tones together) will be produced.

CHROMATIC HARMONICA
The use of the slide button will give accurate half-step tones on the chromatic harmonica.
The 12 or 16 hole chromatic harmonica have been notated in this book. A change of
octaves becomes necessary for variety and ease of playing. (All octaves on the chromatic
harmonica are the same, except the tones are higher or lower in pitch. )
Circled number

Same tone but different octave on harmonica
Slide out

EXAMPLE: same notational level

FOR FURTHER INFORMATIONabout chromatic harmonica refer to:
Mel Bay's Complete CHROMATIC HARMONICAMETHODby
Phil Duncan.
CROSS-HARP
The method for cross-harp is to cross over to hole 2 of the diatonic 10 hole harmonica
and draw. This tone becomes (hole 2) the "key" center or "home" tone and changes the
"key" in which the harmonica plays. Therefore, C harp plays cross-harp (blues harp)
in the key of G. (G is the draw tone in hole -2) F harp plays cross-harp in the key of C.
(C is a draw tone in hole 2 of the F harp) If the music is in the key of C use the F harmonica.
The cross-harp technique allows for half step tones not normally played on the
diatonic harmonica. All draw tones should begin below the pitch: 5 then rise quickly
to pitch level.
To achieve the half steps or more, a blues technique called bending is used.
Notational information:
 = half step
down
f= whole step down ~ = whole step and a half
Octave changes need to take place for ease of playing. The numbers will dictate the changes:
Same written pitch but
different sound pitch level.

A FALSETA ANTHOLOGY 

Product Description:
This masterful, comprehensive book presents ten Sevillanas plus ten falsetas of each of the following popular and traditional flamenco forms: Alegrias por Arriba, Alegrias por Medio, Bulerias, Columbianas, Fandangos, Farrucas, Granainas, Romeras, Siguiriyas, Soleares, Tangos, and Tarantas. This landmark text presents the systematic development of Flamenco tech- nique. Each of the dance forms contains performance notes & a brief history. In English & Spanish and written in standard notation and tablature. Includes companion 2-CD set.

INTRODUCTION

All of the flamenco forms are based on one traditional rhythmical phrase of 8 or 12 beats (musically 3/4,4/4, or 3/4 and 6/8). The rhythmical flamenco phrase is called compas. The melodic themes that are played between each compas are calledjalsetas. A falseta can be composed of several flamenco compases. The flamenco selections are composed of its traditional compas with some rhythmical variations and several falsetas. Between falseta and falseta the compas or one of its variations is played.
The falsetas melodically are all different and are composed of different techniques, tremolos, picados arpeggios, rasgueados and different chords.
Almost all of the flamenco aficionados know which is the compas of each form and how to play it. Many prefer not to play compositions of other guitarists, but they prefer to learn many new falsetas in order to make their own arrangements.
This book is composed of 10 Sevillanas and 10 falsetas of each one of the most popular and traditional of the flamenco forms: I
i Sevillanas, Alegrfas por Ar1iba, Alegr{as por Medio, Bulerfas, Colombianas, Fandangos, Farrucas.
Granainas, Romeras, Siguiryyas, Soleares, Tangos and Tarantas .
All of the falsetas can be used as technical studies. Each falseta is equivalent to one study. It is recommended that each of the falsetas be practiced very slowly, following the fingering marked in each, so that the fingers memorize the order that they must follow. Thus, the synchronization of the two hands can be perfected and the falsetas can be played with more ease.
There are many flamenco guitarists that play the notes very clearly with a good sound. These guitarists are called "clean guitarists" (clear) within the flamenco world. There are others that are good musicians and have a very good sense of rhythm, but do not have a good technique. The notes sound sloppy. These guitarists are called "dirty guitarists" (sloppy) in the flamenco world.
It doesn't matter what type of music is played, jazz, classical or flamenco. All of the notes should sound clear with each one having its musical value.
Note Falsetas are the melodic phrases that are played between compas and compas. Compas is the rhythmical phrase that is played between falseta and falseta.

SEVILLANAS

Sevillanasare one of the most popular forms of the flamenco music. One complete Sevillana set is composed of four coplas; that is, four different Sevillanas-ealled 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. The reason is that the Sevillanas are danceable and each of them is adapted to the choreography of the dance. The complete dance is divided into four parts. The choreography of the dance is based on the rhythm, not the melody, therefore the order of the 4 Sevillanas that are in the composition can be interchanged.

This section is composed of 10 different Sevillanas in tone and melody. The order is in a progressive form in technical difficulty (advancement).

It is recommended learning all of the 10 Sevillanas; then playing the four that are liked best and interchanging them in any order. It is also recommended that the second not be attempted until the first is mastered and so on.

although the compas and the musical form of all of the Sevillanas are the same, the techniques and melodies are completely different in each one of them; therefore when the 10 Sevillanas are learned, it will be much easier to master the rest of the falsetas that make up this book.

The Sevillanas are measured in 3/4. A flamenco compas has 6 beats equivalent to 2 measures of 3/4.

SEVILLANAS

Las Sevillanas son unas de las formas mas populares entre la musica flamenca. Una composici6n completa de sevillanas consiste en cuatro copIas, 0sea, cuatro Sevillanas diferentes que se les llama primera, segunda, tercera y cuarta. La razon es porque las Sevillanas son bailables y cada una de elIas esta adaptada a la coreograffa del baile.

La danza completa esta dividida en cuatro partes. Las coreograffas del baile estan basadas en el ritmo y no en la melodia. Por 10 tanto, el orden de las cuatro Sevillanas que se esten usando en la composici6n puede ser cambiado a la conveniencia del guitarrista que las interprete.

Esta eccion de Sevillanas se compone de diez Sevillanas diferentes en tonos y melodfas. El orden esta en una forma progresiva en dificultad tecnica.

recomiendo que los estudiantes aprendan las diez Sevillanas y asf podran tocar las cuatro que mas les gusten y podran cambiar el orden a su conveniencia y gusto. Tambien recomiendo que hasta que no hayan aprendido bien la primera, no empiecen con la segunda y 10 mismo con todas las siguientes.

Aunque el compas y la forma musical de todas las Sevillanas es igual, las tecnicas y las melodfas son completamente diferentes en cada una de elIas. Por 10 tanto, cuando hayan aprendido estas diez Sevillanas les sera mucho mas facil el aprendizaje de todas las demas formas que componen este libro.

todas las Sevillanas se miden en tiempo de 3/4. El compas flamenco se compone de seis tiempos equivalente ados compases musicales de 3/4.

LIBRO DI MUSICA CON CD, SPARTITI PER CHITARRA. ACCORDI, PENTAGRAMMA E TABLATURE. 

Verdiales, Petenera, Zambra, Farruca, Seguiriyas, Zapateado, Rumba, Guajiras, Soleares, Bulerìas, Danòn; il flamenco in tutte le sue varie tipologie, a seconda delle città, delle regioni, dei popoli, delle influenze arabe e occidentali. Ogni brano è preceduto da una breve introduzione storica e interpretativa, (in inglese e in spagnolo). Il flamenco come la musica blues è la musica di un popolo che suona, balla e canta, ripetendo ritmi, melodie, che si tramandano di generazione in generazione, senza teorie o libri. Tra questi musicisti ci sono degli uomini come, Maruza, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Sabicas, ecc. che con la loro personalità, si distaccano dal "marmellatone uniforme", e creano qualcosa di proprio. Facendo un paragone, con la lingua popolare; possiamo dire che il dialetto è un linguaggio più vero e storico dell'italiano. Il dialetto ha in sé tutte le suggestioni delle genti e delle culture che hanno attraversato o che hanno dominato quella città, ha conservato le cadenze e le sonorità. In ogni dialetto vi è il passato di quella terra. C'è un paesino in Italia, ove per dialetto si parla una lingua molto simile al francese. Perché durante il turbine napoleonico nel 1797 fu invaso, e il linguaggio popolare ne è stato fortemente influenzato. E come ci sono dei poeti bravissimi che si esprimono con il dialetto, così è per la musica. Per chi ha un cognome diverso da De Lucia, e coloro che non possono imbarcarsi immediatamente per la terra Iberica, per frequentare un dispendioso corso di alto livello per chitarra, e per chi non discende da un casato di scatenati consuma-suole di Cordoba, ove i segreti e la cultura si trasmettono come nella migliore tradizione di questa forma musicale popolare, di padre in figlio. 200 Pagine di musica.

SERRANO JUAN, FLAMENCO TECNICAS BASICAS. Metodo in inglese e spagnolo. CD TABLATURE

LIBRO DI SPARTITI DI MUSICA FLAMENCO PER CHITARRA, METODO CON CD E TABLATURE.

Product Description:
This book, written in both English and Spanish is the most authoritative method available on flamenco guitar technique. Juan Serrano is one of the world's premier flamenco concert soloist and is a seasoned teacher and performer in this vibrant, colorful musical genre. The text describes the history and development of flamenco music; teaches basic music theory; presents developmental studies on flamenco guitar techniques such as rasgueado and tremolo; and offers 14 exciting flamenco guitar solos. Written in notation and tablature.

The flamenco guitar descended from a long line of Spanish ancestors, and it is a deviation from its classical counterpart. According to one essayist on the subject, the guitar emanated from Egypt. Others like to believe that it evolved from the Greek~Assyrian cithara, brought into Spain by the Romans. However, the music of the guitar, that which accompanies the flamenco dance and song, in reality reveals evidence of Near-Eastem and Egyptian ancestry. During its acclirnatization in Spain, the minstrel and poet Bagdadi Ziryab added the fifth string. The Spanish guitar, accepted throughout the entire peninsula during the 10^th Century, soon distinguished itself for the rasgueado technique. Since the beginning of the 19th Century it has had six strings: E, A, D, G, B, E. The music of the flamenco guitar depicts one of the rnarvels of the natural arts.

INTRODUCCION

La guitarra flamenca cuenta con una ilustre ascendencia hispana y marca una desviación de la clásica. Según algunos tratadistas, la guitarra es procedente de Egipto. Otros la suponen procedente de la citara Greco- Asiria importada a España por los Romanos. Pero la música de la guitarra tal como acompaña al baile o al cante flamenco acusa en efecto evidentes reminiscencias orientales. Durante su aclimatización en España el cantor y poeta Bagdadi Ziryab le añadió la quinta cuerda. La guitarra Española aclimatada en toda la peninsula en el Siglo X, pronto se distinguió por la técnica del rasgueado. Desde principios del Siglo XIX, la guitarra posee seis cuerdas: MI, LA, RE, SOL, SI, MI. La música de la guitarra flamenca constituye una de la maravillas del arte natural.
