Description:
This book contains note-for-note transcriptions of six original solo flamenco guitar pieces or toques from the author's 2021 CD, Alma de Niño (Soul of a Child). These deep and introspective solos represent a modern approach to traditional flamenco forms and composition styles.Selections include the solea por bulería, "A Fali", composed in homage to the author's teacher, Rafael Riqueni, and the bulería, "Generaciones", a relatively new toque that blends influences of the great flamenco guitarists. Written in standard notation and guitar tablature, all solos in this book are composed in the standard tuning except "A Fali" which uses an intriguing DADGAE tuning.Lyrical melodies, abundant left-hand slurs and glissandos, the author's personal arpeggio patterns, and powerful rasgueos emphasize the rhythmic character of these challenging works.
