The most favourable qualities of shaping a fine artistic personality are combined in Andrés Batista: vocation sensibility technique and the honest and reserved disposition that has marked his excellent self-taught work. His mastery of the flamenco Guitar as a soloist enabled him to analyse the Guitar technique first intuitively and then with a serious musical background and to translate it in two ways: the tablature and the musical notation so that it is useful for Guitar players with a musical background as well as for those purely intuitive who use the tablature.The main goal of the Metodo De Guitarra Flamenca (Flamenco GuitarManual) is to furnish the pupil with the theoretical and practical knowledge of the different styles in flamenco playing through the adequate explanations and exercises. The method has been divided into three parts: Theory Technique and Practice. Pictures and detailed descriptions are included throughout in Spanish English and French.Even though the final aim of this method is to aid and teach Batista suggests that the advice of a competent teacher will help to avoid mistakes and will also stimulate a better understanding progress and study of the instrument.

La pratique de la guitare en solitaire peut rapidement s'avérer assez frustrante. C'est pourtant le triste sort d'un grand nombre de guitaristes de flamenco. Pour tous ceux d'entre nous qui avons commis l'erreur de naître loin de l'Andalousie (ou de Madrid et de Barcelone), tenter de trouver un chanteur avec qui partager nos expériences musicales frise souvent l'utopie? C'est pourquoi nous avons pensé utile de vous proposer trois ouvrages de falsetas pour duo de guitares, et notamment ce premier volume dédié intégralement aux Bulerías. Hormis le plaisir partagé, jouer en duo vous aidera à acquérir une meilleure maîtrise du 'compás', surtout pour les formes rythmiquement les plus rigoureuses, telles que vous en trouverez dans ce recueil. Ainsi, les partitions pourront être utilisées de deux manières : jeu en duo (avec un autre guitariste ou en s'enregistrant), mais aussi interprétation en solo de la première partie de guitare (et souvent des deux). / Guitare

Par MARTIN JUAN / CAMPBELL PATRICK. The acclaimed first volume of this exciting series gave extensive insights into basic techniques of flamenco Guitar playing and the two important rhythmic forms (palos) of Solea and Alegrias. This second volume continues on with an exploration of further essential rhythmic palos. The first of these, occupying the whole of the first DVD, is the Bulerias. Juan Martin brings his many years of experience as an internationally renowned flamenco soloist and accompanist for singers and dancers to unravelling its mysteries, explaining and demonstrating very clearly the different elements of its rhythmic structure and the various ways it may be accented and counted. He uses traditional and more modern examples of the different kinds of rhythm and melodic passages (falsetas) to provide an invaluable understanding of this wonderful palo. The second DVD is devoted to the popular flamenco Rumba, then Tangos, Tientos and that most profound of all the palos, the deeply moving Seguiriyas. Martin's solo playing is complemented by demonstrations of the Guitar's role in accompanying the flamenco dance (baile) and song (cante) with the help of outstanding dancers Raquel de Luna and Miguel Infante and singers Amparo Heredia (La Repompilla) and Carlos Brias. The music for solo Guitar is transcribed in standard notation and tablature (cifra) and the two DVDs contain nearly three hours of explanation and demonstrations. The series is complemented by two other best-selling Juan Martin volumes published by Mel Bay, shown below. These provide progressively graded solo material to extend the repertoire, from beginner to concert level./ Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures

Quelques duos chant-guitare ont durablement marqué l?histoire du flamenco. Ainsi, les cinq albums gravés par Camarón de La Isla et Paco de Lucía entre 1969 et 1973 ont véritablement révolutionné l?esthétique du genre, et constituent encore actuellement une référence pour les artistes contemporains. Ce volume vous propose donc la transcription intégrale des falsetas de Paco de Lucía pour ces cinq enregistrements aussi mythiques qu?incontournables. Certaines, parmi les plus célèbres, ont été reprises dans les disques solos de cette période, mais beaucoup d?autres ont été spécialement composées pour l?accompagnement du cante de Camarón. Les analyses de quelques exemples caractéristiques vous permettront de mieux comprendre le style du guitariste, et donc de relever d?autres falsetas du maître, ou de composer vos propres falsetas « à la manière de ». Enfin, le CD reprend tous les exemples présentés afin de faciliter votre compréhension et votre assimilation.

Par MARTIN JUAN. Four exciting concert solos for flamenco guitar from Juan Martín's best-selling album 'The Andalucian Suites'. This is the first of the four suites on the album. These suites are transcribed into standard notation and flamenco tablature (cifra), with introductory playing notes by Juan Martín. The four solos on the accompanying CD are performed by Juan. The complementary and contrasting variety of styles and rhythms of the four solos provide a brilliant display of Juan's artistry and the expressive capabilities of the flamenco guitar. Each solo is complete in itself. A powerfully evocative Zambra Mora is followed by the much-requested rumba 'La Feria', then a gently melancholic Milonga and finally a thrilling Bulerías, which combines modern elements with pure gypsy falsetas from Moron del la Frontera. These solos provide an exceptional opportunity to learn and enjoy the music of a master flamenco guitarist, whose two volumes of graded 'Solos Flamencos' are already Mel Bay best-sellers. / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Flamenco - Solos / Tablatures / Guitare Tablatures Classique

The composer says: Several musical threads led to my writing this piece of music to celebrate my friend Matanya Ophee's (AKA MO) 80th birthday - a life lived with the guitar. Jelly Roll Morton once asserted: 'In fact, if you can't manage to put tinges of Spanish in your tunes, you will never be able to get the right seasoning; I call it, for jazz.' Over the last couple of years I moved back to Jelly Roll Morton's city: New Orleans, home of my adolescence and reacquainted myself with the tinges of Spanish in its rich musical heritage. One of these pieces was the Mardi Gras Mambo, an iconic song frequently played during Mardi Gras and, in David Newman's reworking of the lyrics, at the New Orleans Saints football games as the Super Bowl Mambo. Uncited sources on both Wikipedia and Essortment say the word Mambo means 'conversation with the gods' in Kikongo, the language spoken by Central African slaves taken to Cuba where it became the name for a musical form and a dance style that developed originally in Cuba in the able hands of Cachao's (Bassist Orestes Lopez) tune: Danzon Mambo. This rhythmic style became famous in the 1950's following its use in dance bands in Mexico and through New Orleans to the United States. The infectiousness of the New Orleans re-interpretation of the Mambo's ostinato bass line and the reaction of people who are readily moved to dance when they hear it spoke to me of dance and celebration. This led me to choose some of this piece's characteristics and title for this piece: Mambo for MO. As we have progressed on the instrument, some of us may have encountered the four-chord descending minor chord progression known as the Andalusian cadence: i - VII - VI - V in many different genres and guises. After all, it appears in Ray Charles' Hit the Road, Jack, the verse on Good Vibrations by The Beach Boys, Walk, Don't Run by The Ventures, Runaway by Del Shannon and in that great work arranged and embraced by the Guitar: J.S. Bach's Chaconne from the Partita in D minor for solo violin, BWV 1004. This bass line derived from a Latin American musical style as reinterpreted in New Orleans, a chord progression that evokes the Flamenco Music of Spain, and my impressions of the sinuous lines of people dancing the Second Line in the streets of New Orleans at Mardi Gras led me to this synthesis as a tribute to a man who has contributed so much in his lifelong efforts for the guitar, its history and lore on the occasion of his birthday! Happy Birthday, Matanya! Carlos Barrientos was born on June 25, 1954 in Tela, Honduras. He began his formal music studies at the National Music Conservatory in Guatemala City, Guatemala C.A.
