jameswilliam -> Ordered couple Juan Martin's Books with CDs (Jun. 7 2012 13:21:51)

Hello people,I ordered a couple of Juan Martin's books with CDs and DVDs.I got Juan Martin's solo flamenco guitar volume 1 and El arte Flamenco De La guitarra volume 1.
I have been through Gerhard Graf-Martinez Flamenco Guitar method volume 1,and
want to learn more.I did join Jose Tanaka's online lessons but found the website
very hard to use and confusing,so i canceled my membership.I hope to be able to take lessons by skype,but cant afford them right now.Anyone else here use any
of Juan Martin's learning tools?Did they help you?Would like to hear what you thought of them.Thanks for your help and advise,cheers,
James

First you order and then you ask about it?

Thats ok but maybe you should try reversing that order [8D]

El arte Flamenco De La guitarra


I found it a very well structured book and really well written.

I started with Juan Martin's solo flamenco volume 1 and found it very helpful. The graded approach he uses in his books has a good progression.

Choose also some lessons (not all) of Oscar Herrero's.

Solea and Alegria is good.

Really?? I joined his website and it is EASY to navigate...Jose, explains and breaks down EVERYTHING, plus, there is EASY to read Tab.

Well good luck with the Juan Martin Book, let us know how you like it!

I know a fair few people who have loved these books. (a few of them my customers) A couple of those guys go on his week long courses in Ronda too. They are very good apparently.

Great Choice you wont regreat it.

Well i got my Juan Martin's books.I must say i am very impressed with them both.
the method book is wonderful,explains everything good,alot of detail.Very easy to read.The solo Flamenco book is also great.I can play first few songs no problem and they sound great.I am going to take my time with the method book and get a good handle on the basics.These two books should keep me busy for a long time.I am for sure going to be buying volume 2 for each book later down the road.My only problem is that i dont have a Flamenco guitar yet,i am playing on my steel string acoustic.I will
be buying the Yamaha 172Sf guitar soon.Thanks for all the advise and help,Cheers,
James

James:

As I have mentioned before I have been learning from those books for a while now. Focus first on technique then on compass. Take your time very important that your rasgeos are timed correctly, and your alzapua, tremolo, arpegios etc are done correctly.
Working with a steal string guitar is not a great idea, a recent post dealt with this issue.

At anytime you feel you want to work on something shoot me a PM, I live north of Plano but can meet half way. I am not and expert but been at it for a while.



Elie -> RE: Ordered couple Juan Martin's Books with CDs (Jun. 15 2012 6:40:58)

its just I feel odd that you felt confused with jose tanaka and you're feeling comfortable with juan martin ... Juan martin doesn't break down anything , while Jose breaks all

anyways Good luck with your choice man [;)]

I think my problem with Jose Tanaka's website is the browser i am using
1/2 of the things on Jose's website made my browser crash.The lessons i did get a chance to look at were great.I may try Jose's lessons again after i have my
computer looked at.I am working on Juan Martin's El Arte Flamenco De La
Guitarra Volume 1,it is great on learning the basics,well written,easy to understand.
I am very happy with Juan Martin's books.Cheers,
James



jameswilliam -> RE: Ordered couple Juan Martin's Books with CDs (Jun. 16 2012 3:39:13)

James
