Ashbury Music Hall Workshop Intoduction

A great way to get started with flamenco guitar is with the "palo" or song form of "Tangos." Not to be confused with the form from Argentina that shares the same name, "Tangos Flamencos" is a medium tempo 4/4 form thats sonorities can range from a classic traditional Spanish sound to Arabic influenced harmonies and melodies to Modern sounding Jazz influenced stylings. In this course we will touch on a little of each starting with basic "compás" (basic rhythm playing) then "falsetas" (melodic variations) and even a taste of "cante" (singing) accompaniment. The course is set up in a 5-week format and includes play-along rhythm tracks at various tempos and a play-along version of the "cante" lesson without the guitar. Techniques covered in the course include Rasgueado, Alzapua, Picado and Arpegio. Each lesson segment features a TAB and standard notation .pdf file detailing the notes and fingerings, Close Ups of the Left and Right Hands and Half Tempo versions to make learning easier so jump on board and start pulling the sounds of Andalucia out of that nylon string guitar today!
