About the Author
Juan Martín is an outstanding player and composer. He is among the very small number of flamenco guitarists
to achieve international recognition as a solo concert and recording artist. From his origins in Málaga in
Andalucia (Spain), his art has evolved in the purest Spanish traditions of flamenco. He is also
passionately committed to communicating the mysteries of this great tradition to others, as shown by his
method book, transcription books, and videos.
Review
In my opinion, this is by far the best value flamenco tutor around. This comprehensive multimedia teaching set has 42 solos, progressively graded in 6 levels from absolute beginners to more advanced. It contains examples of eighteen different palos (rhythmic forms) of flamenco, with a wealth of melodic falsetas and rhythms. The music for all these is accurately written in notation and flamenco tab (cifra) in the book, and is also recorded on the companion CD. The DVD video contains over 57 minutes of solo music.
