5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful flamenco book, June 30, 2005

This review is from: Flamenco Guitar Method for Beginners (Paperback)

I have not fomrally had any guitar lessons or courses before buying this book. But I used to fool around the guitar and my hand got used to moving on the fret board.

Only recently I took it seriously and decided to learn flamenco. At first I was worried that this book doesn't have tablature to accompany it. But once I started studying it, I was amazed with the ease with which it goes through the lessons. It teaches basic notes string by string. I'm now half way through and I have learned so much.

This is a very good practice book for people starting in guitar and flamenco specially.

But again, you can't get the value of the book untill you practice...practice....practice...!

The books title is Flamenco for the beginner, a "primer" to the guitar, if you have absoulutely no knowledge of a guitar, and want a book that you will finish in literally 10 minutes this is probably good for you, other than that, I would stay away.There is so little info in here, I don't know why they bothered to publish it. Instead of leaving you with nothing, I will say you should get" 100 guitar tips you should have been told" it's not flamenco, but it will teach you a hell of a lot more than this book, and it can all be transfered over to necessary skills and learning for any style of guitar. But it is also just a beginner book. From what I have gathered so far, I think the serious student should get either a dvd, or instructor to learn the "art" of flamenco.

I have found this book to be a very useful tool in helping me to better understand the methods used to play Flamenco Style Guitar. I look forward to progressing in my lessons with future method studies.
