The Academic Treatise on Flamenco Guitar Vol 4 (Book/CD) by Manuel Granados

Description

THE ACADEMIC TREATISE ON FLAMENCO GUITAR by the maestro Manuel Granados represents didactic material of enormous interest for maestros, students, flamenco aficionados and guitarists of all musical styles.

Organised into five volumes, is aimed at those students about to begin their studies, and to all those who may have learned without real coherency and who may have some faults to correct.

Each book is divided into three sections: Technique, Styles and Theory of flamenco music, all of them with a CD so that the guitarist can practice without the need of help from a teacher.
