I've been searching for a place to order Manuel Granados, Manual Didáctico de Guitarra Flamenca entire series. So far the two US sites i've seen that carry them are Amazon and Stringsbymail, but they only have the 3rd and 4th series. Any idea where I can order these books from? Would prefer a site in the US so I don't have to pay customs fee. I don't speak Spanish either (i thought cajon was a bad word), so an English speaking merchant would be helpful!
They were not recommended to me. After doing some research, I found these books cover a lot of good material as well as take you through a bunch of different forms. I consider myself an advance beginner, and just needed material to complement the other method books i'm currently working on (juan serrano, juan martin, grat martinez). These books just seem like a good fit since the material aren't that over the top. They seem to be well annotated with golpes written to help the newbie better understand compas. Only downside is everything is written in tablature.
