i had koster books years ago, literally played them into pieces. Now I cant find them., if anyone has them I believe there are two, and would like to sell them for a reasonable price, pls let me know. thanks.
It doesnt have to be that particular book... Any flamenco book would do. I have nothing on paper and I would like to go to my living room on weekends and play stuff from a book instead of being in front of a computer with internet
The only time Ive sent something to America (a CD) the shipping was 2,5€ I guess...
when I sent to europe it was 15.00. have you tried getting tabs off the net like sals flamenco soapbox has a lot of stuff, maybe not what you want but you can practice some of those things
I just googled Dennis Koster Keys to Flamenco and found them on Amazon. The Mel Bay published ones, of which there are three volumes. I am not sure what you mean by quite old, the oldest is from 1995 and the information is not really subject to being obsolete.
There are three volumes. The first was republished by Mel Bay. The Mel Bay edition corrected a LOT of errors in the original edition. It's available from:
Good price ($22.30 US), and free shipping to Portugal (and everywhere else in the world).
The volumes two and three have not been republished. I talked to Mel Bay last summer and they didn't have any plans to issue those other two volumes. I would suggest starting with the first volume, it will take you some time to fully absorb it. The original volume two can be purchased from many sites (new!) but at a higher price than the above. I have not seen anyone selling a new copy of volume three, but it occasionally shows up used. Volume three is just "concert-level" solos. Volumes one and two have all the instructional material.
there is actually a lot of stuff online but maybe not what you want and it mightnot be accurate but is certainly good for practice, try sals flamenco soapbox for one and classtabs has some
