Customer Reviews:

for those concerned about tablature(last comment).......2006-05-02

the last comment was correct in stating that the on screen tabs are difficult to read but the folks at Flamenco Guitar Method have updated their site with a tab reader for viewing on your computer. very clear and usefull. superrrr reccomended!!!

Marvelous instructional series.......2005-05-14

Right Mr. darryl summers - but let's mention that a Score 'n Tab Viewer for the DVDs (if you own) is available on Graf-Martinez' site for free download.

Each DVD is divided into sections. In the first one covers the `rasgueado' and many of its variations. The second one covers the `pulgar' and variations on it. In the third talks about the golpe. I have found all of these covered on the internet beforehand but not in such length and not with such clear pictures. The second DVD is concerned with arpeggios, compas (time), and examples of songs.

The Graf-Martinez Flamenco Guitar Method must rank as one of the best self-tuition resources on the market and whether you are student or teacher of flamenco guitar, his new DVDs are an excellent companion to this. Recommended.

I will give 5 stars and congratulate Mr. Graf-Martinez for achieving such a marvelous instructional series.

just be aware that the onscreen tab is unreadable for ntsc .......2005-04-14

these dvd's are what they say they are except the on screen tab is completely unreadable. forget what the description says, if you purchase the ntsc version you will not be able to read the tab (i cannot speak for the pal version), however the standard notation is legible albeit difficult. so unless you want to try and mimic whats being played by ear and looking at his hands or you can sight read, dont buy or buy the book as well (expensive). apparently all the exercises on the dvd are transcribed in the flamenco guitar method books. so you really need to buy the dvd and book together if you want to utilise the material in an enjoyable and hassle free manner. personally i think it a tad unscrupulous to provide no warning of this or a booklet containing the exercises in tab format to accompany the dvd. it's a shame because i would have given five stars otherwise for everything else is great.
