These documents are the original content of The Academy of Flamenco
Guitar, created in the years 1969 through 1972.
The Introduction To Flamenco was intended to be"quick and dirty"
way of getting started with compas, after I realized The Flamenco
Guitar was more complex, since it provided a more thorough basis for
understanding falsetas.
Although there is some redundancy, and I've learned much more over
the years, but I hope these documents can still provide a decent
starting foundation for the Flamenco guitar.
The original tablature for the Falseta Collections was synced with the
AV' files; when both AOL and Cox abandoned their ISP responsilities,
the links were broken, and I can no longer edit the Tablature document
to correct the links (lost password long ago). Hopefully GoDaddy will be
more stable.
Finally, bear in mind that during those years many of us were "flying
blind", and experimenting with techniques, etc. I would approach things
differently in many cases now, so keep an open mind as to engineering
solutions to Flamenco guitar problems....:-)
These are collections of falsetas in
the "palos" beloa(Flamenco forms
in tablature); The links to the AV
files are in separate documents..
An analysis of Flamenco rhythm
(metric) structures
This is an analysis of Flamenco
music intendend to show its
harmonic and scalar foundations
in the context of conventional
music theory.
This was intended as an
upgrade/replacement to the
previous documents I created, but
the roof fell in before I could add
the multimedia components. It is
therefore somewhat redundant, but
does include newer insights and
analysis.
