ORIGINAL: Bob Arbuckle Hi Eddie, I'm still waiting for Vol.2. I have Vol 1 and agree with everyone, that Graf-Martinez does a good job. His examples capture the Flamenco Aire. You mentioned that he covers Bulerias in Vol 1, but I cannot find it? The CD has an extensive section on Bulerias, but I think it's covered in Vol 2. Looking forward to Vol 2. Bob Bob, Mucho apologies, you're right. That's the problem with posting from work, I don't have ready access to my library Since the CD for both books comes with Vol 1, you do get a sneak peak at volume 2, a good teaser. BTW, I may be coming out to Chicago again in the next year, hope we could hook up this time.

I am a flamenco guitarist and I would definitely recommend Juan Martin's book that comes with a DVD, Juan Martin is a great teacher. By any chance has anyone heard of a technique called the machine gun alzapua and how it is developed. I have a decent alzapua but I have seen clips of Vicente Amigo and Paco de Lucia and when they do alzapua their thumb comes really close to the saddle and the hand looks like it is spasaming, and the speed is really fast, it likes some wrist action but I was wondering if anyone knew about this technique.

The way I was taught alzapua in Sevilla (by Tino van der Smaan, Eduardo Rebollar, and Miguel Angel Cortes) was as follows: The thumb is completely limp and without any muscular tension. The movement comes completely from the wrist. First do the golpe, THEN move the wrist. Once you get this down, you can move to doing them at the same time. This being a solid and efficient foundation, you will find that at very fast speeds the thumb will stiffen and eventually pretty much take over the whole movement, as the movement becomes smaller and smaller. But this is something that should happen at high levels of proficiency. It works! By the way, Pedro Cortes, an American flamenco of some prominence, doesn't seem to like the golpe to use too much nail. More of a thump than a tap. His alzapua is monstrously fast and loud. Although I think that anyone can achieve a good alzapua, without a quarter of the work of picado. It's a very impressive technique!
