Just wanted to find out, is the book El Arte Flamenco de la Guitarra sold on his official site a 2-volume version or what? http://www.flamencovision.com/method.html
Shouldn't he be selling both volumes on his official site? Instead, I've seen this book sold in 2 separate volumes elsewhere. Quoting guitarsalon.com: - Volume 1 contains the following lessons: Part One: Introducing Soleares; Part Two: A Technical Exercise; Soleares (continued); Part One: Soleares (concluded); Part Two: The Technique of Picado; Seguiriyas; Alegrias; More Soleares; Double Arpegio and Barre; Fandangos de Huelva; Sevillanas; Tremolo; Bulerias (i) - Volume 2 contains the following lessons: Bulerias (ii); Farruca; Bulerias (iii); Granadinas; Tientos; Zapateado; Solea por medio; Malaguenas; Tarantos; Solea; Alegrias en mi; Seguiriyas; Bulerias; Daily Exercises
Maybe someone who has the book could check whether it contains all of the above? I was just wondering whether the vol-2 was as essential.
RE: Juan Martin's method book. Anyon... (in reply to Skai)
Hi Skai, I'm almost certain that the one on his website will be Vol1 and Vol2 combined. My copy, although not obtained from FlamencoVision, contains ALL the sections you list in one and the cassette which matches those sections is 60 minutes long as mentioned. And for what it's worth I think this course (with cassette/CD) is excellent. Have a good one! Graeme

I got his DVD, which contains a book with many graded solos (from 0, or beginning, to 6, which is 6 years of practice), and the DVD shows him playing the solos. I recommend this. Learning by watching is the best way...
