Gipsy Guitar (CD-Rom)

The CD-ROM enables students for the first time to learn the guitar techniques of the Rumba Flamenca with the aid of a combination of pictures, sound and animation. Video clips, focussing on the player's hands, show the precise movements and finger positions and make the strokes and golpes typical for this style easier to comprehend and copy. The videos can also be played at a slower speed or, with the loop function, repeated endlessly. A cursor, synchronized with the sound, indicates the position in the printed music on the screen; relevant video clips are also clearly cross-referenced. Solo part and accompanying guitar can be switched on or off independently.
