kozz -> Serrana by Melchor de Marchena (Sep. 16 2009 0:35:51)

Hello,
I've put this part by Melchor de Marchena overhere:


Does anyone know if this is the same Serrana as Alain Faucher has transcribed in Melchor de Marchena - El duende gitano?

thanks
koz

I have an old recording (on a compilation cd) of this Track its anazing !!! let me know if you do track the score down,

im not sure what it is , but im totally in love with the old style playing no effects , just dig in and play , this is a killer piece a wonder if its the same one where thinking !!



cigany -> RE: Serrana by Melchor de Marchena (Sep. 16 2009 9:21:36)

Yes, that's the song in the book. It's the one I like best too and learned it first. You can get a cassette from Affedis with all the songs in the book.



minordjango -> RE: Serrana by Melchor de Marchena (Sep. 16 2009 9:49:52)

poor alain i remember the days i did have a mastercard , and i got him to copy like 8 tapes of things for me , worked him to death, he was great with his time .

i havent the book, but i bought a cd once and it has like 6 or so tracks they are stunning, i cant believe many of us players not just flamenco all styles over look Marchena, M yet another genios of the guitar !!!



kozz -> RE: Serrana by Melchor de Marchena (Sep. 16 2009 10:54:06)

Good to hear that it is in the book, I really like that song.

hi
i'm also working on melchor de marchena's book, for some palos i'd like to hear melchor's version, the hispavox LP "guitarra gitana" isn't avaiable anymore and i can't find these tracks on his CD-compilations - any chance to hear these tracks anywhere?



kozz -> RE: Serrana by Melchor de Marchena (Oct. 6 2009 0:26:52)

Michel,
I bought the album via iTunes±
Melchor de Marchena - Centenario de Su Nacimiento 1907-2007

Most of them are on it, except from the Tientos en Petenera I believe



michel -> RE: Serrana by Melchor de Marchena (Oct. 6 2009 1:21:39)

Thanx very much kozz
Faucher's Transcriptions are great, do you already got the book?
i would like to hear the siguiriya, because i don't really get the sense or the feeling of it. i learned his tanguillo de cadiz by ear, listening the CD many times, and it's a lot easier than faucher's complex (but very good) notation of the whole piece, maybe i'll also substitute some rasgueos with more common/easier amii-rasgueos... anyway have much fun with the book!



kozz -> RE: Serrana by Melchor de Marchena (Oct. 6 2009 2:14:05)

No probs.
Its a nice quality if you play a piece just by listening to it, I really envy people who can do that. I am miles away from that, but hey I am only touching the strings for almost a year now, who knows in about 10 years :)

Also the pieces from MDM are way above my head, but I can pick a few licks and time will tell when I am ready for it.

I like the Faucher transcriptions, and definately gonna get some more....Perhaps the Danzas Arabes will be the next

you're not alone, i'm also "fighting" with the other pieces because i don't practice at all since weeks, i improvise the whole time with a rough and ugly tone, ...muy flamenco! [:D]
i also got the Danzas Arabes, a great book, but more difficult than melchor de marchena!
I invited el payo humberto to visit me as soon he comes back to Europe
uhuuu... the strings will smoke again, i'm looking forward!

Thats just great man!
I love to meet him too. A great person with love for the art.

Have you seen the video where he explains "the-thumb-of-Melchor" and that tricky index finger?

That's the way I also play most of the time. Learned a new bar from a falsetta and try to incorporate in something which I can play and try to expand it step by step.

that's the best way to improve your playing without loosing motivation.
it's good to find a compromise between strictly learning (reading, memorizing, improving techniques) and playing "free", i mean creating a natural flow, a mirror of moods without thinking too much about possible mistakes, this works very well, especially when we didn't play for a few days and simply enjoy the sound of guitar with a glass of wine (like our Maestro[;)])
