Does anyone know of a good book, website, etc. that gives exercises for flamenco technique? I've seen talk of a book by Pedro Sierra (Tablaturas Tecnicas de Guitarra), which looks perfect (I saw a sample) but they don't have it on Amazon and I don't speak Spanish so I don't want to try and buy it off a Spanish site.
Any good resources like this that I can add to my practice routine (still a beginner in flamenco)?
Learning/transcribing and playing pieces usually contains enough juxtaposition of techniques so in some ways serves the same end as technical workouts ?
Oh And Orhan .. Great teacher .. Mentor and support .
RE: Good book for technique practice... (in reply to mark indigo)
The whole cd was transcribed - by hand - with errors - as a digital book which you downloaded after the purchase of the disc - so an E-book seems accurate enough Think there's a thread here somewhere with the corrections and some of the exercises in GP format As good as the examples are the transcriptions are bit wanting - be great if he released it as a DVD in a well scored format Still - not to difficult to work out what's going on

Ha - I can't unsee that now - he is a very cool guy in a nerdy sort of way His PDF's and TEF are good but kinda wish he'd use a better program like musescore, Sibelius or Guitar Pro to make the fingerings a bit more detailed - still - the videos show make it clear enough Orhans the man, or gopher man for online material that keeps giving

I bought the cd before the download tab was available, and when it became available it was only about 3 of the exercises, albeit those with more complex chords. I think some foro member/s transcribed some of the rest of it and posted it - or did i just make that up?
either way, I agree, a DVD would have been great. I often get as much if not more from watching HOW someone like Gerardo Nuñuz or Niño de Pura plays than from what they are playing.
