5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome!, 7 May 2006
I've been playing the Flamenco guitar for 10 years now and I was eagerly waiting this book; I had bought the author's previous Flamenco instructional book (The Art of Rasgueado) and was very happy with it.
The first thing that impresses is that the actual QUALITY of the transcriptions is excellent!!! There is a amazing level of details included in both the notation & the TAB, left hand and right hand fingerings, playing positions, pretty much everything a performer could ask for, yet the paper does not look cluttered! I enjoyed very much the fact that each piece has its own Performance Notes section that offers a little background info on the music and the specific style (although most intermediate & advanced players will probably be familiar with it), but also, most importantly, bar-by-bar instructions by the author on all the potential trouble spots of the composition!
The binding of the book is excellent: I have not seen this combination of hard cover & wire binding but it is great, since you can keep the book open forever and the binding will not fall apart! The accompanying DVD is excellent, the author plays all examples first slowly, then fast with very detailed close-ups on the ever-important for flamenco right hand! The name of the composition, the bar number(s) and the technique examined is actually overlayed on the video (along with an always-present mentionof the author's www site at www.ioannis.org), so that the viewer will not get lost; just one og those things that show extreme attention to detail. The DVD also includes studio quality Audio files for all compositions, played both at performance speed and slowed down to half-tempo. Interesting note on the DVD: On the background, just behind the author, we can see some totally kick-ass electric guitars!!
There are 6 complete compositions for solo flamenco guitar included in this book and none of them is for the faint of heart! Most are over 25 pages long and clock at over 5 minutes each; definitely concert-level and quality material! The styles included are Soleares, Farucca, Tangos, Granadinas, Rumba and Malaguena. Personal preferences aside, I was VERY happy to see both Tangos and the Rumba: there are very few compositions for solo guitar in these 2 forms, so the addition is very welcome, indeed.
Anyway, as you probably figured out, I really liked this book. I think it presents EXCELLENT value for money, since you get great material, excellent binding, a complete Instructional DVD plus what basically is an Audio CD (included in the DVD, not separate). The author did a great job with the notation transcription (always a tricky point with Flamenco guitar publications) and the overall quality is top-notch. Highly recommended and 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book - Serious Chops Required!, 2 Dec 2008
By E. Squire - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book and DVD exhibits a fabulous display of solo flamenco guitar skills by the author. Be warned though, if you want to learn some of these tunes then make sure your technique is up to it!
As you would expect from a relatively young author/musician who has studied in an American music college, the flamenco techniques and tunes are flashy and modern.

I'm cutting my teeth on a few more introductory books before trying out the tunes as transcibed but I'm looking forward to it!

Impressive stuff indeed.
