Aaron Gilmartin - Easy Steps To Flamenco Guitar - DVD
Play along and learn! To get you going, Aaron has chosen
"Tango Flamenco" - one of the great traditional Latin dance forms. The rhythm (compas), with
its familiar percussive effect, is the key to this style. Aaron teaches you the basic right hand strums
(rasgueados) and picking (picados) that conjure up the sounds of Spain. Aiming this DVD at true beginners,
Aaron takes each step of his lesson at a very slow and deliberate pace. He builds your
flamenco technique in a logical, step-by step method providing numerous exercises, play-alongs and great
advice about everything from getting good tone to using fake nails. He helps you with each
chord, gradually adding grace notes, bass and melody lines, arpeggios and other techniques until you are
playing a full-fledged flamenco solo!
