Formative Works for The Flamenco/Classical Guitar Tradition, Volumes 1 and 2

By: Corey E. Whitehead,Ricardo Marlow

This book expands the repertoire and bridges the gap between Volumes 1 and 2 of the introductory-intermediate guitar method, The Flamenco/Classical Guitar Tradition. Originally conceived by pioneering Mel Bay flamenco guitar author Juan Serrano and his former student, Corey Whitehead—the series is perhaps the first method to introduce the concept that flamenco and classic guitar techniques share common ground that should be familiar to all nylon-string guitarists. For decades, there has been a perceived division between the two styles as classical players usually have no idea of how rasgueado patterns, alzapúa and trémolo techniques or a Bulerias compás are performed. These techniques, common to flamenco players for over a century, have heretofore been complete mysteries to classical guitarists. It’s past time to end that division. Now, with the added expertise and virtuosity of Ricardo Marlow, The Flamenco/Classical Guitar Tradition finally brings the two schools of guitar together in one authoritative comprehensive approach. Written in standard notation to facilitate sight reading, this book includes progressive foundational classic guitar studies, short flamenco palos (regional song and dance forms) and more than 60 online audio tracks to help bring your flamenco/classical playing to a professional level.

The Flamenco/Classical Guitar Tradition, Volume 2

Advanced Techniques and Repertoire

By: Corey Whitehead,Richard Marlow

Since the 19th century beginnings of the flamenco guitar style in Spain, the flamenco/classical guitar relationship has always existed; this 3-book method series—begun by Juan Serrano and Corey Whitehead and extended by Whitehead’s collaboration with Richard Marlow—is simply the first to point out and dive deep into what has always been a single cross-cultural relationship. In addition to the unique classical/flamenco repertoire included in this book, the flamenco history presented here is essential. It makes the origins of dozens of rhythmic flamenco song and dance forms crystal clear. Why, for example, does the Spanish word, palo (stick), continually pop up in flamenco literature? This book reveals that, even before the guitar was used in flamenco song and dance accompaniment, the actual stick from a butter churn was used to mark time. Most guitarists are familiar with the CAGED guitar chord system, i.e., the use of the five basic first-position key/chord patterns to explore the mid and upper regions of the fretboard with or without a capo. Volume 2 includes a comprehensive introduction to fretboard harmony and explores the CAGED system thoroughly with standard notation and chord grids. Whitehead goes so far as to develop an entire scale system based on the CAGED concept. Imagine what that system might do for your intuitive fretboard knowledge and sightreading ability. While unfamiliar with rasgueado (strumming) or alzapúa (“raise the thumb”) techniques, classical guitarists already have a head start in their approach to flamenco; good guitar technique is simply good technique in either style. Through its reasoned, progressive blending of history and flamenco/classical repertoire, this series removes the perceived barriers in thinking about and playing the two styles, revealing that they are truly one tradition as the series title clearly states. To encourage better sightreading, The Flamenco/Classical Guitar Tradition series is written in standard notation only; each book includes extensive online audio tracks for authenticity and ease of learning.
