Volume 1 covers Rasgueado, Punteado, Pulgar, Remate, Ayudado, Golpe, Rumba strokes, Tresillo, and explores the compas through the use of the "Flamenco clock." Graf-Martinez is well known among students of the Flamenco guitar. He has written a guitar method in two volumes, an excellent book on playing the rumba, and some other very helpful productions for guitarists and other students of Flamenco. His latest release consists of 2 instructional DVD's, which will be especially useful for beginning to intermediate students. Graf-Martinez's presentation is always clear and well structured, and his multi-media approach renders complex rhythms and techniques accessible to students of all levels. When Graf-Martinez performs the musical examples, the lower part of the screen scrolls over the written music (in notation and TAB). When rhythms are being demonstrated, the handy Flamenco clock makes it crystal clear where you are in the compas.... And clear menus allow you to navigate quickly in and out of the different chapters.
