Flamenco Guitar Method

by Gerhard Graf-Martinez

Product Description

Gerhard Graf-Martinez is a passionate flamenco guitarist and teacher. The wealth of his knowledge is captured in this two-volume work, which also reflects valuable experience gained from his activities as a tutor at national and international seminars and workshops. The CD included with volume 1 contains all the pieces and musical examples for Volumes 1 and 2. Besides being a pure pleasure to listen to "Flamenco puro," it also conveys the authentic sound and the pulsating "compas" of this music. This is the only way to learn to play the music properly yourself. The DVD will take you to the passionate world of Flamenco, and you will quickly immerse yourself in this Spanish musical phenomenon.

This is an excellent self-study course that includes many photographs, some to illustrate techniques, others of guitars, guitarists, etc. Self-contained chapters cover all basic techniques plus compas, palmas, nail care, and an overview of current guitarists, guitar makers, construction and sound of Flamenco guitars, etc.

User testimonial

Hi Mr. Martinez,

I am a flamenco student here in Kansas, USA, and recently I bought the Flamenco Guitar Method 1 and 2 and Rumba Guitar with Cds, videos and score player and I have been studying your method and I am amazed that I have learned more in 01 month than in 06 months of Flamenco Guitar lessons with a teacher.

I am so pleased with your method. I have bought so many materials about Flamenco guitar and they are so boring, and you showed in your video what we really want to learn. Not just rhythms and Palos however the soloing and phrases, falsetas that is not easy to see in many Flamenco guitar videos. I would like to thank you for this work and my technique has increased a lot. Please, don’t stop creating good methods like these. Keep me updated about new DVDs.
