Flamenco Guitar: Basic Techniques Review: Great introduction to Flamenco - I can't say that I have any more experience with Flamenco than listening to they Gypsy Kings and seeing one or two players in late night venues in South Beach (I do have a few years of experience with acoustic guitar and finger picking). I can say that this book is a good introduction into the amateur Flamenco world. The book begins with some basics on how to hold your hand and how to read the music. Each picking finger is associated with a letter in PIMAS and your left fretting hand also has instructions as to what fingers you need to use. It gives a brief explanation of how to strum eighth note chords - something that all Flamenco players must know and probably the hardest part when starting Flamenco. Others have said it is better to see in action but you can check youtube out for that. After the basics and some scales and chords to follow along with, you get into several short songs written in different styles of Flamenco. The songs are written in tab as well as standard notation. They are also gradually increasing in difficulty. I find myself starting from the beginning of these songs and just working my way through until I realize that my technique is too far gone to really be improving my skills, then I go back to the start. After playing for a few months, you should have learned some of the scales and chords through repetition. Then you can begin to "fake" play Flamenco, a highly enjoyable experience I can only liken to playing the blues but not needing the accompanying rhythm guitar. Overall, the book is definitely not going to make you a master; but, the book can provide years of entertainment that will result in a steady improvement of your Flamenco guitar experience. I heard there is another "Juan" out there with a similar book/video that is better but... I am satisfied with how quickly Juan Serrano entered me into the world of amateur Flamenco guitar. Randall Review: CLASSIC FLAMENCO BASIC INSTRUCTION - This is a classic instruction book. The CD gives actual examples of how the lesson should sound. Music sheets include notation as well as tabs. This book is recommended by the very fine John Clarke Music Lesson Series on Spanish Guitar. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #836,787 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #851 in Music Techniques (Books) #1,619 in Guitars (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (31) | | Dimensions | 8.84 x 0.43 x 11.75 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0786625562 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0786625567 | | Language | English | | Print length | 144 pages | | Publication date | May 29, 1996 | | Publisher | Mel Bay Publications | ## Images ![Flamenco Guitar: Basic Techniques - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81T6KEZMOdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great introduction to Flamenco *by N***N on May 18, 2010* I can't say that I have any more experience with Flamenco than listening to they Gypsy Kings and seeing one or two players in late night venues in South Beach (I do have a few years of experience with acoustic guitar and finger picking).

Randall ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ CLASSIC FLAMENCO BASIC INSTRUCTION *by K***R on September 3, 2015* This is a classic instruction book. The CD gives actual examples of how the lesson should sound. Music sheets include notation as well as tabs. This book is recommended by the very fine John Clarke Music Lesson Series on Spanish Guitar. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is a good place to start *by N***L on November 12, 2015* My first book for flamenco guitar. It is a good place to start, but it is definitely Juan Serrano's flavor of flamenco. Interesting for his style of rasgueo. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/7977515-flamenco-guitar-basic-techniques](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/7977515-flamenco-guitar-basic-techniques) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
