Toques Flamencosby Paco Pena Listen
Product Description
Flamenco guitar music from the student repertoire. Includes an instructional section on technique and notation.
Paco Pena is the real thing-a seasoned guitar accompanist and solo flamenco performer. It is rare for a player of his calibre in flamenco to write pieces within the range of average players; but these pieces are cool enough to play for any audience and ambitious guitarists will find plenty here to challenge their technique and musicianship. There is and introduction that explains the special tablature and flamenco rhythms. Make sure you are getting the cassette recording of Paco playing the pieces, otherwise you may not get the proper sound. I collect everything flamenco, but this is THE textbook for the intermediate flamenco guitarist.
Review This book has 10 pieces that are well worth learning. All music is written in standard notation and tab. While it's not exactly a beginners book, it does contain a wealth of traditional falsetas and rasgueado patterns. I have always liked Paco Peña's playing because it's clean and the compás is always well defined.
I learned the Colombiana from this book because the first time I heard it I was hooked. This piece presented an enormous technical challenge to me, especially for my right hand. But it had such an irresistible aura, I was determined to master it. My playing ultimately improved as a result of practicing it endlessly. Good thing too, because when I started playing regular gigs with dancers, they talked me into playing Colombiana as the opening number. It is a beautiful and uplifting piece to play. I can think of nothing better for improving technique (in both hands) than to learn music that is such a joy to listen to. Other titles Every piece in this book is a masterpiece. I highly recommend it.
