I'm such a cheap-ass on "discretionary" personal toys and hobby items, which is where flamenco falls for me.

Returning to playing (or more accurately, to 'studying') flamenco after a long hiatus, I was amazed at the amount of great flamenco videos, transcriptions, and training methods.

After considering purchasing Leiva's transcirptions of Paco's later CDs - and internally repeating "but you can't even play through 20% of your existing flamenco music" - I finally said "F#$# it !!!" - and broke down and ordered Leiva's transcriptions for Zyrab, Sirocco, Luzia, and Cositas....just cause I 'wanted' to ; ) There are lots of amazing players - but PDL is in a class by himself when it comes to composition, rhythm, technique, and creativity. Even when played slowly, his music is incredibly rich.

So - I can't really share my enthusiasm for my new 'toys' with anybody that would understand except you guys. So few people in the US do flamenco that they don't even sell Leiva's books anywhere in the whole US !!!...So I'm looking to you for inspiration to work through at least a few falsetas from each book. The Tutorial challenge is just what I needed and I hope we can keep it going for Paco's 'modern' falsetas.

If you care to - share the recent 3 pieces of sheet music, books, or other flamenco items you bought for your flamenco passion, and what you're excited about learning from each.

Ive got those plus the Duende Book. Berges messed up the first book by only doing 4 pieces and adding 4 from Duende. I can only imagine he did that because he owned a compilation album or something mislabeled. THe first album needs to be completed as well.

Just curious which pieces from which books have you spent the most time with ? Or are they mostly coffee table books if and when you need them (which is fine too). Once I fork over a few dollars, I used try to pick at least 3 pieces to try and learn in full. Given our previous discussions about learning pieces in full, and the ridiculous amount of time to learn a piece in whole, I've modified my goal to 3 falsetas from each of 3 pieces lol That I think I can handle.

I read pretty well so I learn a lot from following the scores along with the recording. I have always been an active listener, however, with a score in hand you can notice things your ear alone doesn’t always catch. It goes back to when I was a kid learning guitar with transcription books. I was never interested in actually playing even a single note from Passion and Warfare, but I still have and read through that book on occasion as I still enjoy the music. On the other hand, I had carried around Yngwie’s marching out tab book like it was the Bible, and I played every note in there. [:D]. Tutorial 3 and 4 falsetas are in the Zyryab book, but the flamenco “bible” for me is the Fantasia Flamenca book.

Yngwie’s marching out tab book

Yngwie is in a class by himself - interesting how the first guys that define a new form are at the top of it for many years to come. The guys that build on his style, IMHO did not add so much to it that I'd rather listen to them instead of Yngwie.

I am partial to Yngwie's Rising Force album - his singer just doesn't do it for me. Now Ronnie James Dio, on the other hand - he's my favorite, whether on his solo albums or with Ritichie Blackmore.

The last 3 tab books I bought were Juan Serrano Concert Selections, Manolo Sanlucar Mundo y Formas de la guitarra flamenca volume 3 and Sabicas Rey del Flamenco.
I’ll probably be learning them for the rest of my life but I enjoy studying the music in it’s written form.

After a guitar sesssion with a friend of mine who plays organ (thanks for all your input here under another topic) I purchased:

Acoustic Music Books 40 Masterworks J.S.Bach

I never played classic and for me this was a great discovery. Plus, Bach music has proven to be a great exersize for the left hand.

To build my variation set for Solea I bought:

Duende Flamenco 1a: la solea

This is a great book with falseta's. It is also part of a great series with inspirations for many other styles.

Finally, I am a vivid vinyl lover and occasionally buy some old records for little money. There are Always gerat finds in there.

Thats a great series and my go to books for the past 10y.
In fact I bought one Alegrias and one Bulerias book from them about 10y back and stopped buying anything after. So much free stuff online these days. I did purchase a few things from artafana and del Monte, but those are digitals. Also just a week ago ordered those Camaron transcriptiins, seems they are arriving tomorrow.
