Introduction

There
has never been a better time to play the guitar! Guitar makers call this the Golden Age of Lutherie for good reason; it's a time where players of all levels can find high-quality guitars in an price range. But this era could just as easily be called the Golden Age of Guitar Instruction. Never before have we had so many high-quality instructional materials and accurate song transcriptions for virtually any style of music. In Essential Acoustic Guitar Lessons, the experienced teachers at Acoustic Guitar offer up something for everyone. The Basics section will help you learn the notes on the guitar's fret board and get started with barre chords and flatpicking. More advanced lessons include styles as diverse as jazz improvisation, Celtic jigs, slack-key guitar, alternate tunings, and more. You'll even learn how to play your guitar like a bass, if the need arises! If one style particularly grabs you, log on to where you'll find a multitude of books delving into specific styles and techniques. So pick up your guitar, and let's get started!

Progressively graded for intermediate and more advanced GRADES 6 - 8

This second volume, of a two-part series, contains a book, CD and DVD by internationally recognized flamenco guitarist, Juan Martin. Provided are more than 21 solos, progressively graded in the three higher grades, 6 to 8, to suit players at intermediate and more advanced stages, who already have some experience of the instrument and techniques of flamenco.

The DVD contains over 60 minutes of music. All text is provided in both English and Spanish.
 

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!
