Gerhard Graf-Martinez Book Two

Just a note to let anyone interested know that Book Two is available published by Schott. I ordered mine through The Guitar Center here in the Chicago area for $28.00.

Book one contains the CD for both books, so I bought that as well, which was in stock. If one is only interested in Book Two check with your supplier to be sure it comes with the CD. Gerhard does a good job of explaining each form with excellent written and audio examples.

Of the various Method Books, I put this one at the top.

Hey Bob-

How do your rate book one as far as it's level - does it start at the very basic? I think I'll pick it up regardless because it has the CD.

Did you pick up your books from the G.C. on Halsted or in the burbs?

Book one is very basic. It covers Tangos, Rumba and Solea, with a small intro into Taranto, Garrotin, Fandango, Sevillanas and Alegria. His rumba stuff is very up to date.

It also does a good job with Ras. and Pulgar techniques. The illustrations(photos) along with excelent writing is very helpful. Gerdard has included bios of some of the most famous guitarists along with photos.

I got my book-one from the strore in Lombard (last copy) although they still have the Gipsy Rumba Book in stock. This is a more advanced by book by Garhard covering only Rumba.

I suggest letting your fingers go the walking.

Here is his website: www.graf-martinez.com

Good luck,
Bob
