Hi all, Both the Compas Analysis and the Music Theory for Flamenco are in .pdf form. Both are downloadable, but not printable (they are from my course CD's, which also has a number of falsetas (what I was able to do before the roof fell in.....) Also there is some stuff in the Tapas section on my website. The Music Theory on my site covers Flamenco in terms of Harmonic Minor, Major, and Phrygian Mode via the Circle of Fifths, showing the classical isomorphism between Major and Minor, and relating that to the Phrygian Mode via the concept of "Question/Answer" harmonic phrasing. The Compas Analysis does the same thing for Flamenco compas (well, I try, anyway) That's as organized as I can do for now - someday I too will get a corporate sponsorship .. right...:-) The Addendum was culled from a lot of theory posts to the old Flamenco list years ago.... Here are the links to the documents: Music Theory: http://members.aol.com/BuleriaChk/private/compas/theory/Theory.pdf Compas Analysis (these may be redundant, but at least one includes the Addendum) http://users.aol.com/CHKeyser/private/compas/Analysis.pdf http://members.aol.com/CHKeyser/private/compas/Analysis.pdf Best Regards, Chuck www.flamencochuck.com Someday, I'll go back and do it again, with dancing puppets, etc....:-)

Here is some stuff that might help you or not, I prefer Satriani style modes myself because once you learn them it is easy to create diatonic scales. One way is to say that a mode is a scale off of a root scale, simply put, a G major scale has 6 other scales starting at different notes, So with that said, G major starts at G and ends on G but A Dorian starts on A and Ends on A, ect: Scale Imagery works great for teaching, teach them to see the scale as a whole instead of string by string. For example: G majors pattern is, left hand 124 one of course being Locrian F# second fret or Second finger 3rd fret Root note G. E string 124. A string 124,.D string 134.G 134. B 24 and high E 124. Similar to the grimoure it shows more notes than in the actual scale. Which looks like this 1 2 3 4 5 frets -----|--1--|---2--|-----|---4------------------------------------ -----|------|---2--|-----|---4----------------------------------------- -----|---1--|------|--3-|---4------------------------------------------ -----|---1 |------|---3-|--4--------------------------------------------------- -----|----1-|--2--|-----|--4---------------------------------------------- -----|---1- |--2--|-----|---4---------------------------------------------- Here are some of my favorite teaching tools. http://www.gabrieledgar.com/notation/buleriaschordsandscales.ptb http://www.gabrieledgar.com/notation/Ephrygian_chords.ptb http://www.gabrieledgar.com/notation/Cmajormodes.ptb http://www.gabrieledgar.com/notation/buleriaschordsandscales.ptb http://www.gabrieledgar.com/notation/ephrygian.ptb http://www.gabrieledgar.com/notation/gypsyscales2.ptb And there is more but these may or may not help you with some Ideas for your book my friend. A great way to memorize these is to see them as a whole allaaa fret board diagrams and tab or music notaion. Ehh sorry bud just try to help but this theory talk can get heavy,,,,,,,,, I'm gonna quit now while I am buzzzzed.

edgar, another great way to write scales and modes, is to write out a CM scale on stave, then, superimpose chords in 'C' like, C minor, C aug, etc. on to the scale after writing out the chord on stave. What you get is an altered scale, from the Cmajor scale, then transpose in to whatever key. I have found this a great way to make great scales, and modes, that actually fit the chord perfectly from scratch.....I use it now and then to practice on the guitar. I'm pretty fond of the idea.....it's a great tool and it works if you work with it. It's fairly easy and it takes the guess work out of matching the proper scale, or mode, to the chord when composing patterns or melodic/harmonic passages.
