Play Solo Flamenco Guitar with Juan Martín, Vol. 1

This is my second copy of this book, bought for my son (20). I'm still using my copy :) which I've had for some years. Not made it through all 42 solos yet but getting there (should practice more often ;) The book is suitable for complete beginners but very quickly progresses, in normal guitar terms, to fairly advanced techniques and musical concepts. It is very carefully conceived and expertly put together to make this all progressive. You dont realize until you are well into the book just how well thought through it is. The CD's, actually online mp3s and videos in this version, cover every solo. So you can really get the feel and timing of the music and the techniques. The first level can be quickly worked through if you have some experience but still has the essence of the forms so is worth the time. I should note that I was very lucky to see Juan Martin in concert, during which he played the final solo in level 0 beautifully. He looked around the audience with a cheeky grin. The rest of the audience was, I can assure you, none the wiser that a "level 0" piece had been played. This is a fantastic book, the pieces are a joy to play. Flamenco is without doubt a unique artform all of its own, that takes tremendous effort and skill to become fluent in. This book provides a realistic and manageable way to start that journey and if, like me, you maybe don't find the time to practice as much as you could, you will still stumble your way through and be quite astonished by how far you get and how much fun you have had getting there. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
