steven0356 -> 24 studies for flamenco guitar (May 21 2010 12:54:12)

I was able to down load an excerpt from "24 studies for flamenco guitar" from this site

http://www.acordesconcert.com/AConcertEn/24estudiosGuitarra.html

It looks like this would be a good book to have.

Anyway, it is mostly in (I am guessing) spanish. One of the studies says THUMB EXERCISES. Would i use the thumb rest stroke for this.

Like this?

Thanks

Actually, the "instructional" part of the book as well as the authors personal tips on technique and such are written in Spanish, French and English and are identical in all three of this series volumes - the only thing which differs is the Index.

Volume II is a very fine book and is one step further, more advanced than Volume I; the pieces are somewhat longer and more elaborated.

Personally I could recommend one goes through all three of them simply because they are, in my understanding, conceptualized and designed in an thoroughly progressive manner in regard to styles, tempi and level of complexity. And in my own case would require an eternity to master - Volume three is a "monster"!

A lot of thought, knowledge of the guitar and musical wisdom went into these three books. These qualifications, I believe are valid for all the books that I've seen from this particular publisher.

I could particularily recommend the Juan Lorenzo book called "200 exercises" It covers all aspects of technique and plants "seeds" for true personal growth and insights.

Enough! No more endorsing; but these are all great books some of which I would have loved to have been acquainted with twenty years ago.

Go for it!

Thanks I just ordered 21 Studies off ebay. but my question is: Is the Thumb Exercises the same as thumb rest stroke?

Below is a Mario Amaya demonstrating what he calls the thumb rest stroke. When oscar Herrero uses the term thumb exercises is it the same technique as Mario Amaya's thumb rest stroke?

The basic rule of thumb (ahem!) when using thumb/pulgar is that any passage, study or falseta that is played all with thumb only will need to be played with rest strokes.

Thumb always plays everything rest stroke with only a few exceptions: when playing a string adjacent to a string played by a finger in arpegio or tremelo, and sometimes when playing thumb bass notes with im picado rest strokes (though some people play thumb rest strokes here too).
