Flamenco Band 1

Gerhard Graf-Martinez is a passionate flamenco guitarist and teacher. The wealth of his insider knowledge – developed from his intensive and friendly collaboration with 'gitanos', 'guitarristas' and 'maestros' – is captured in this two-volume work just as is his valuable experience gained from his long years of teaching activities at national and international seminars and workshops. This clearly structured textbook and work of reference shows every guitarist a sure and passable way into the fascinating work of the flamenco. The accompanying CD contains all the pieces and music examples of volumes 1 and 2. Besides being a pure pleasure to listen to – 'flamenco puro' –, it also conveys the necessary authentic sound and the pulsating rhythm, the 'compás', of this music. This is the only possible and sensible way to learn to play the music properly yourself.
