Juan Serrano - Flamenco Concert Selections (Book+CD)

Juan Serrano is a living legend of the Flamenco guitar, with a career spanning 50 years. In this book, he transcribed 12 of his own compositions, based on traditional flamenco forms. There is a great variety of styles and forms included; from the widely popular Bulerias, Farucca, Soleares and Rumba to rare gems like the Petenera and Verdiales. The book is exactly 200 pages long. Each piece is preceded by a short introduction by the author, mainly annotating the history of the specific form. The pieces are notated both in standard notation and in tablature, with large clear fonts. There is a CD available in which Juan Serrano plays all the pieces in performance speed. The level of technique required to play this material is intermediate/advanced. This is NOT a book for beginners or even for people with very little experience in flamenco. But for the intermediate/advanced player that wants to add new pieces in his/her repertoire, both the quality of the material and the value for money can't be beat!
